No there is no need for replacement. The Zeolite is
regenerated within the dehumidifier and this will last for
many years.
For the first month since its first operation, the
dehumidifier run intensively. As days pass, this will
gradually be eliminated, since the dehumidifier will be
controlled via its humidistat. As far as a dump house in
concerned, it is very expensive to heat it, and you will see a
reduction in your central heating bill when you start to use
your dehumidifier.
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 it
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.
For better results, it is suggested to place the dehumidifier
in a central area, like a hallway. Leave the doors open and
the moisture will migrate naturally towards the device to be
processed.
No, the filter can't be replaced.
The suggested humidity range fluctuates between 40%
and 60%. This level of an average humidity ensures the
greatest comfort for you and your family, preventing
allergies or diseases, and keeps your home healthy and
well maintained, in terms of plasterboards, dye exfoliation,
wood furniture and any other equipment or material that is
susceptible to the harmful consequences of extremely high
humidity conditions.
