I wanted to like to test in the basement, there tends here a corner of the open staircase in the winter to foxing. There, the air does not circulate and it can also be poorly ventilated, because the passage area does not have a window has. Here I came forward to the first problem. The cable is approximately 2 meters long and lt. Manufacturers should renounce the use of extension cords. However, the next socket is located at the corner door in the neighboring cellar. But imagined I had to place the unit as close to the damp corner. Whether the site is now actually plays such an important role in the final result, I can not judge now.
I have the equipment now well positioned 2 m from the actual "accident site". It runs fairly quiet, which surprised me. The two devices that we received at that time were not bigger in size, but in my memory louder. We have it turned off at night, because it at some point went to the nerves.
I have run the unit with the timer for the first time 8 hrs.. The relative humidity was quite matter to me. Rather, I wanted to see if you can see a clear difference on the wall. The wall felt noticeably dry and the tile grouting around which otherwise often easily were moist, were dry. The initial penetrating odor bothered here in the basement less, but in the bedroom or the .Wohnräumen, I would like not to have it. However, it will take several hours less and less.
So far I had no real idea what else you can use the device. But turned on in the laundry room, the laundry in / autumn winter dries much faster. We have only a small tilt windows in our cellar shaft so that the evaporated moisture the laundry is almost impossible to escape. And we open the door, shows again the problem in the passage cellar under the stairs, where then reflected the moisture. So I'm really excited about the field of application. Here in the laundry room is also the supplied drain hose use.
I can only say that the device is our demands. Direct comparisons I can draw only with the equipment of a specialist company, we had 2 weeks at home. I even have the impression that this dehumidify better here. At that time we had to despite 14 hours. Continuous operation, empty the collection tank every three days maximum. He also contained no more than three liters of water.
