The details

This compact yet powerful 5-litre dehumidifier creates a healthier and more comfortable environment and is ideal for apartments and small houses - It's also perfect for drying clothes. Like all dehumidifiers, it removes the excess moisture and humidity that can cause mould to develop, which can exacerbate allergies. If the humidity is too high, your home is at risk of mould, but airborne viruses like the flu can survive longer if it's too low. To solve this, the Aqua-Dry dehumidifier allows you to select and regulate your desired humidity level to find the perfect balance .

Once the water tank reaches total capacity, the unit will automatically stop running to avoid overflowing. A 'full'  light will then appear to indicate that the tank needs emptying. The Aqua-Dry can also be set up for continuous draining by connecting a hose to the drain outlet at the back, meaning you don't need to empty it (Purchased separately) The dehumidifier is perfect for use at night when sleeping, thanks to its low noise level and the ability to turn off the LED lights. There's also a timer function that can be automatically set to switch the unit on and off at a convenient time, allowing you to run it while you're at work or during an off-peak electricity period to reduce running costs.
