FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why doesn’t the dehumidifier seem to extract much water if the temperature is low? This is a compressor dehumidifier which works best in temperatures above 15⁰C. If the temperature is low and the air is dryer than the setting on the humidistat the unit will not extract water. If you want to use a dehumidifier for outside buildings, unheated properties, boats or garages please check our desiccant range.
