As winter finally turns to summer,  many people will stop using their dehumidifier and will be wondering where to store it out of the way. At the same time the welcome warmth from the sun also sadly means for many people the start of allergy season. So, could you use your dehumidifier as an air purifier?

With a third of the British population suffering from some form of allergy in their lifetime, and hay fever seemingly becoming more common with our children, there is a need and the solution might well already be in your hallway!

Repurpose your dehumidifier

Owners of the Meaco 12L Low Energy and the Meaco 20L Low Energy dehumidifiers have that solution and don’t have to worry about trying to get their dehumidifier up the loft ladder!

Both machines have an AP mode which stands for Air Purification Mode. Selecting this mode on the display turns off the dehumidification cycle and just runs the fan. Do this in conjunction with the machine’s HEPA filter and hey presto you can use your dehumidifier as an air purifier.

So there is hopefully no need to spend any more money and yet another gadget for the home!

Using a HEPA filter

A HEPA filter removes 99.7% of particles that have a size greater than 0.3µm which means that it is removing allergens much smaller than a human hair, things that you cannot see but your eyes and nose can certainly sense and react to!

The HEPA filter cleans whatever air is being drawn through the dehumidifier so whether you are using the machine as a dehumidifier or just as an air purifier you benefit from cleaner air.

This is why many people who are worried about mould, dust mites and dust buy one of the two low energy models for use in their homes all year round so that they can benefit from less mould growth in their bathroom or bedrooms, less dust mites in their beds thanks to the dehumidification and less spores, dander and dust in the air thanks to the HEPA filtration.

So the 12L and 20L Low Energy Dehumidifiers give you a true 2 in 1 solution to maintain a drier, healthier, cleaner solution for your home that, as the name suggest, costs less electricity to run.
