Does the Zeolite need replacing?
No there is no need for replacement. The Zeolite is regenerated within the
dehumidifier and this will last for many years. Improper maintenance of the air
filter results in the blockage of the zeolite, the gradual increase of the
temperature of its surface and the gradual decrease of its efficiency.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
For the first month upon its initial operation, the dehumidifier operates at its
maximum in order to calibrate in its working environment. As time passes, this
will gradually reduce, since the dehumidifier will be controlled via its humidistat.
In regards to damp houses, the use of a dehumidifier may lower your central
billing costs significantly.
Do desiccant dehumidifiers generate an unpleasant smell?
During the first days of usage and periodically afterwards you might notice a
smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant
material and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is not working properly nor is
harmful to humans or pets. The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs odors
from items like cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new
furniture, and as the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged into the room.
You can clear it by running the dehumidifier in a separate space like a garage or
–if it is dry- outside.
