Check the air filter periodically and clean or replace it as needed to ensure the dehumidifier is operating effectively.

18. Why Is My Dehumidifier Not Collecting Water?

There are several reasons why your dehumidifier may not be collecting water: The humidity level in the room is already low. The temperature in the room is below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The air filter is clogged or the intake or exhaust grilles are blocked. The refrigerant coils or compressors are damaged. The dehumidifier is not installed correctly. Etc.

19. Do dehumidifiers work in low humidity?

Dehumidifiers are effective in environments with high humidity and can be crucial for controlling mold growth and preventing other moisture-related issues. 

Suppose you want to use a dehumidifier in a low-humidity area. In that case, it is recommended to measure the RH level of the area repeatedly and choose a dehumidifier that can still work in a relatively low-humidity condition. The WH, ZETA and CFZ series of dehumidifiers can work between the 10%-90% RH. Want to buy efficient and powerful dehumidifiers? Contact Preair first.
