How does the
Venta-Airwasher Humidifier humidify?
The disk stacks that rotate in the water
have a surface area of over 4.2 m² When dry
air meets this surface area, the water is
evaporated and sent out into the room. As soon
as the room has achieved an optimal humidity
level, no more water will evaporate. In this
way, any excess humidity can be virtually ruled
out.
How does the
Venta-Airwasher Humidifier purify?
Airborne particles, such as dust,
pollen and smoke will be drawn in and passed
over the rotating disk stacks. The particles
adhere to the wet disk stacks and get pulled
down into the water. However, only pure water
evaporates. The collected particles remain on
the bottom of the unit and can be rinsed/wiped
out every 10-14 days.
When is the best
time to run the Venta-Airwasher Humidifier?
That depends on individual needs.
Because the Venta-Airwasher/Humidifier is very
energy efficient, operating costs are very low
even if used all the time.
What level of
humidity can be expected and how often should
the tank be filled?
A humidity
level of 40-55% can be expected. The
Venta-Airwasher holds 5 Liter of water;
sufficient to humidify an area of up to 720
square feet for 24 hours.Some factors effecting
humidity levels are: heating/cooling, home
insulation, layout of home, air circulation and
amount of water in the unit. For severely dry
areas or during the first days of use, you may
notice that the water evaporates more quickly
and/or a lower humidity level could be achieved.
Where is the best
place for the Venta-Airwasher Humidifier?
The Venta Airwasher Humidifier should be
placed as centrally as possible (for multiple
room use with some models). Allowances should be
made so that air can be drawn in the top and
blown out the sides. At least 18 inches should
be left open on either side of the unit to allow
for air circulation.
Do open outside
doors and windows effect the efficiency of the
Venta Airwasher Humidifier?
The
unit works best in closed rooms to maintain a
consistent level of humidity- Just as windows
and outside doors are closed when the air
conditioning is running! Doors between rooms may
be left open to allow for air
circulation.
Can the water be
filled above the axles where the disk stacks
rest?
No problem. The lower
housing can hold 6 kg of water (model LW
44). The humidifying and purifying efficiency is
only slightly lower during the first hours of
use. Remember: the more surface area that is
provided by the disk stacks, the higher the
efficiency of humidification and purification.
Is
it necessary to use the Venta Water Treatment
Additive?
Yes. The Water
Treatment Additive keeps the mineral deposits
from becoming hard and difficult to remove – any
sediment can be easily rinsed out. In addition,
the Water Treatment Additive improves the
efficiency of the unit by making the water sheet
on the disk stacks, instead of "beading up" –
allowing for maximum use of every square inch of
the disk stacks. The Water Treatment Additive
also prevents odors.
What happens if the
water evaporates and the unit continues to run?
The Water Treatment Additive
holds dirt and dust particles collected from the
air down on the bottom of the lower housing.
However, the Venta-Airwasher is only humidifying
and purifying when water is in the unit.
Should more Water
Treatment Additive be added when the unit has
run dry?
No, because the
ingredients of the Water Treatment Additive do
not evaporate. Simply add fresh water to
reactivate the Water Treatment Additive. One
dose will help keep the unit from "furring" up
with mineral deposits for 10-14
days.
What happens when
the unit has not been run for an extended period
of time?
Simply give the unit a
general cleaning with the Venta Cleaner before
using the Venta- Airwasher/Humidifier again.
Tip: Use of the Venta Cleaner is recommended
before storing the unit for an extended period
of time to remove any mineral deposits that can
harden over time.
What is the best
way to clean the Venta-Airwasher
Humidifier?
Every 10-14 days, the
lower housing should be wiped out with a damp
sponge. The disk stacks should be rinsed off
and/or brushed off with a brush or sponge.
Periodically, the Venta Cleaner can be used for
a thorough cleaning. At all times, care should
be taken to keep water away from the motor.
