Hi. Please explain how to use the carbon filter. I did soak in salt for 24 hours. Does it need to be submerged in water all the time thereafter ? When the machine is not in use should I remove the water from the water tank and in this case do I leave the carbon filter in the water tank? What time period of not using the machine will I have to now soak the carbon filter in salt solution again when I need to use. The manual does not give a detailed explanation of this information. Thank you
For the water softening filter I would look to re-soak it whenever you start to see a build up of hard water deposit appearing in the room rather than any particular time period. When not in use it can stay in the tank, but always best to dry the tank if you are not going to use it for a while.
Most of my questions were answered especially after going through the comments.. I would like to know if the unit will switch on automatically after power loss?
Auto shut off happens when the water tank is empty and it stays off until you fill it again. There is also the auto humidity mode which turns the unit off when the desired humidity is reached and it will turn back on when the humidity falls below target.
@@MeacoUK Ok, thanks for fast reply. Looks like auto shut-off mode works fine when it reaches my set humidity %, but it does not turn back on when it falls below that %, or is there specific % when it turns itself back on again?
@@blaugznis If you have it in Auto mode then he will turn back on when the humidity is below 50%rh because it is looking to maintain between 50 and 60%rh. If you are using the humidistat it will turn back on when the relative humidity is 3%rh below target.
You can buy from here in SA - www.solencosa.co.za/collections/humidifiers-home/products/meaco-deluxe-humidifier and they can help you with the filter as well.
I have a meaco 20l the one with green line going across. Why does it show humidity 15c lower than my home home humidity sensors (try 3 sensors at same time all 15c higher than the Meaco)
There could be numerous reasons to be honest. I wrote a blog piece in 2013 about the various reasons, you can find this here - blog.meaco.com/why-is-your-dehumidifier-not-agreeing-with-your-humidity-meter/ . Reading it will help a lot I think. Feel free to leave a question on that blog post if you have any questions having read it. Hope this helps.
@@MeacoUK Would the meaco be more accurate than a £10 humidity reader, regardless of room temperature. As when I increase room temperature, the separate humidity reader gets closer to the Meaco reading.
Certainly with dividing the output in two different directions you get better distribution of the moisture throughout the room, you also half the chance of creating any condensation on the surface that the humidifier is standing on. Condensation puddles are normally caused by having the target set too high or by placing the humidifier on a naturally cold material.
