    Dehumidifier Question

    Hi all,

    This is probably going to sound like a very ignorant/silly question, but having on just moved to HK, we have very little experience of dehumidifiers!

    Ok, so we bought a 10L dehumidifier from Fortress the other weekend, and have had it on intermittently since (ranging from a couple of hours to overnight, so 12+ hours). However no matter how long we've left it on for, we get nothing out (no water in the tank!). Is it just that it isn't humid enough yet? Or is the system bust?

    Any thoughts on this would be most welcomed!

    Thanks

    what brand is it. sounds strange that no water is coming out, if i leave my on over night the whole 10L tank is full.

    check your setting, i forgot what brand my is but i know there is all sorts of buttons on mine. will have to go back tonight and check it out.

    If you have your aircon on 24*7 then that would have dried the air sufficiently that the dehumidifier won't have much moisture left to extract. But otherwise it is definitely humid enough, so some problem perhaps.

    Thanks for both your replies. We took it back to Fortress and got a replacement and it now works perfectly......lots of water being produced!
