It has been industry standard for adsorption dehumidifiers to always run their fan continuously, regardless of relative humidity. They do this so that they can react to rising relative humidity and start drying the air again.
However, this provides a level of precise dehumidification that is unnecessary for domestic use. The option that most compressor dehumidifiers offer is that the dehumidifier shuts off when the target relative humidity is reached. This saves energy but means the dehumidifier potentially misses increases in relative humidity and can allow organic materials in the home to absorb excess moisture and mold to grow.
The Meaco DD8L provides the best possible solution to this problem.
When the relative humidity is reached, the device runs its fan for five minutes to check that everything is OK and then turns itself off to save energy. Thirty minutes later, the fan turns back on and samples the air again for another five minutes. If the relative humidity has increased above the target, it starts dehumidifying again: if the relative humidity is OK, it goes back to sleep again for another 30 minutes. In a well-sealed home, this will mean the fan runs for just 10 minutes an hour instead of 60 minutes, using just 1/6 the power of other adsorption dehumidifiers.
This gives you the perfect balance between protecting your environment and keeping costs to a minimum.
This Meaco exclusive control logic is available on the Meaco DD8L, the entire Low Energy and ABC series, Meaco DD8L Junior and Meaco DD8L Zambezi and only Meaco makes desiccant dehumidifiers that do this.
As a desiccant, it also does not mind low temperatures, which makes it perfect for taking care of areas that are likely to be colder, such as caravans, motorhomes, boats, garages, basements, classic cars, motorhomes, holiday homes. Boaters in particular will appreciate the lack of wheels on the unit, so it won't roll around on board.
The DD8L has a wash mode to dry your laundry faster and to prevent condensation from clothes from damaging your home.
It is also equipped with an antibacterial filter and an ionizer to keep the air cleaner, which is especially important in homes where family members suffer from allergies.
Importantly, the DD8L allows you to select a quiet fan speed regardless of the relative humidity you may wish to select. This ensures that the DD8L remains in silent mode whenever you want absolute silence, such as at night, so that your sleep or peace is not disturbed.
Finally, the DD8L shuts off when the internal tank is full and the tank itself has a splash-proof lid to ensure that not a drop is spilled when you pour the water away.
