Frequently Asked Questions
You should run a dehumidifier as long as needed to maintain indoor humidity between 30–50%, which may require continuous operation in very damp conditions.
To use an Ebac dehumidifier for the first time, place it on a level surface, plug it in, set the desired humidity (usually 30–50%), ensure the water tank or drainage hose is in place, turn the unit on, and allow it to run while monitoring the humidity and emptying the tank as needed.
You should clean or replace the filter in an Ebac dehumidifier every 2–4 weeks during heavy use to ensure optimal airflow and efficiency.
You should not use a dehumidifier without proper drainage, place it on an unstable surface, expose it to extreme temperatures, block airflow, or run harsh chemicals through it, as these can cause damage or reduce efficiency.
Yes, 70% humidity is too high for a basement, as levels above 60% increase the risk of mold, mildew, and structural damage.
No, it’s generally safe to sleep in the same room as a dehumidifier, though it may cause slight noise or dry air, so adjusting humidity to a comfortable 30–50% is recommended.
