How do you control the humidity?
1625266
If you need to add more humidity run a humidifier. Also a dehumidifier is grate for humid days but AC usually takes out enough with a big enough unit. I recommend split unit but higher plus installation as this unit is a "bad design" as it takes out part of cold or hot air causing a vacuum effect. Running a heat pump you want house sealed up.

The humidity level is an automatic setting of which you have no control. I live in an area that is dry for the most part. In A/C weather, the condensation goes out the exhaust hose. In cold weather, the condensation goes into an internal bucket that must be drained according to the humidity levels of the weather. The unit shuts down when the bucket needs draining. For my convenience, I chose a permanent place for the unit, venting the exhaust hose out a window, and a drain hose through the wall. I set the unit on automatic, clean both filters twice a month, and it's hassle free. It's best to insulate the exhaust hose. I wrapped a large thick towel secured with small bungee cords around mine.

The "humidity" is collected by the air conditioner mode. It constantly is dropping some of the water onto the compressor which gets hot. The water vapor goes out the "out" air duct along with the heat. Of course in the heat mode - no water is created. If the humidity is high the water container fills up and the water needs to be emptied. This is actually a bad design as the out is near the floor and you need a very shallow pan to collect the water. During high humidity times like July in Boston it needs to be emptied a couple times in the month. Otherwise you can go a month or 2 to without emptying. The biggest advantage of this devise is that you can use it without messing with your windows(in my case the new vinyl clad windows). Also easy to install.

Easy...when installing, make sure the unit is attached to an on/off wall switch. The LED color tells you what mode it's in. When in HI mode(LED is amber)fan will stay on HI indefinitely. A quick off and then on again puts it into AUTO mode(LED is blue)which activates the moisture sensor and either HI or LOW fan. The unit will then turn itself on or off(adjusting the fan speed)according to the water moisture level in the room. Toggling on/off quickly changes the modes...simple!

When there is too much humidity in your room, you can use the unit to 'dry' the air - it works as a dehumidifier.

The only humidity control is a tray at the bottom of the unit that you put water in for humidity...no auto-fill.

You could do so by mounting the unit to a larger panel that is cut to fit your window opening. The dehumidistat may not be the control you want, though. You may want to either set it to the lowest humidity setting, or bypass it, as you probably want to control the fan by your garage air temperature. Check to see if company offers similar unit with thermostat instead.

I keep the humidity around 50-60%. As long as I wake up without dry throat, its all good.

With unit powered on, the display should show the current humidity % of the area around it. By pressing the " - " OR " + " button near the display once it will switch from the current area % to the humidity level setting. Then continue to press either the " - " OR " + " button to reach the desired % setting. Remember, the unit has a +/- 5% thermostat variance so whatever the desired setting, the unit will automatically start/stop within +/- 5% of that setting.

It maintains the humidity in a certain range. There's not enough moisture in the Humidipaks to raise the relative humidity from say, 20% to 50% by themselves.

Switch once is moisture control mode, switch it twice will turn it to full run mode. Just switch it on will be auto.

There is a sensor, it's built in to the humidifier so you can set the humidity level. Although I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate, I have a separate humidity sensor and the numbers are about 5 degrees of humidity apart.

no, to prevent the humidity, you could open window or let the door open to make sure the room is vented properly. I sometime put a glass of water in front of the heater to have the moisture in the room

you don't need a humidity sensing switch, you might want to go with a timer that keeps the fan running for a certain time after manually initiated

You can set your desired humidity level and it will shut off when it reaches the set %. It'll kick back on when the humidity level drops below your set % again.

No, you can not adjust the humidity level. There is a sensor in the unit that sets the humidity output based on temperature and the amount of humidity already in the air.

There are no controls or humidity function as part of the unit. Indirectly, any cooling unit by its functions will remove a certain amount of humidity. I have two of these identical units and in each one I keep an open Rubbermaid 1-quart container with water to help maintain proper humidity levels. I bought a digital temperature/humidity meter and with the pan of water, the units maintain 70% humidity +/-. I think you'd have to pay 2-3 times as much for a high end unit with humidity control. Overall I been very happy with the units.

i agree with other responder its a humidistat i dont think you can make it work based on temperture .also i dont think the remote can be used as a control i think it just tells you the temp and humidity of the remote location(at least i couldnt see how to use the remote as a way of activating)

Yes, I received instructions, albeit brief ones. The unit is simple to operate. Fill both containers and place them in the unit. Press down and hold the lower knob to turn it on. Then, you can adjust the fan level by turning the knob either way. You can then adjust the level of humidity with the upper knob. When one of the units empties, the readout will flash with the humidity level (in numbers) and "F" for the side that is empty. All very simple. I like my unit a lot; it does just what it's supposed to, and makes for a relatively nice-looking piece of furniture, as well. Good luck! Yes, I received instructions, albeit brief ones.
