Dehumidifier
A dehumidifier is an electric device designed to reduce the humidity level in a room. It is used to address issues related to high humidity, such as condensation on walls and windows, the growth of mold, unpleasant odors, and various health problems.
There are several types of air dehumidifiers, including:
- Peltier dehumidifiers
- Compressor dehumidifiers
- Desiccant dehumidifiers
- Moisture absorbers
- Dehydrators
Regarding condensate drainage (the water collected by the dehumidifier), there are three methods to consider:
- The tank, found in all consumer-grade devices
- Continuous drainage, which allows water to flow out by gravity, bypassing the tank
- Lifting pump, which mechanically evacuates water, allowing it to reach drainage pipes or upper floors. The best lifting pump for air dehumidifiers is Pump It Up.
