Pocster Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Only turned this on in the last few days!. Decided to have a shower - expecting it to rid the room of humidity ; which it seems to have done. The unit has now been sat for maybe 15 minutes with status of "Internal humidity " being quite noisy . Is this normal??

Pocster Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 The internal humidity shows at 82% ( was 83% ) seems to be taking a long time though to drop...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Check it tomorrow morning. Maybe release a few captives. And have cold showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still noisy now and still 82%. Even turned if off/on ( technical approach ) still the same. Unless it quietens down will have to turn it off as won't be able to sleep later.

Mr Punter Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Try to leave it on for as long as possible. You may need to reduce your boost setting and adjust the terminal to increase the flow from that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To reduce the humidity very quickly ( even if very noisy )? By adjust the terminal - you mean the air intake in the bathroom?. I don't think there is any adjustment on it .... If there is do I want to open it more or reduce it??? Did think maybe my humidity/condensation drain might be the issue i.e. not enough fall ; but I think looks ok....

Pocster Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 80% now. I think it goes normal at 75%??? No one better shower after 10pm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Sort that plug top out, f***ing bodger! ? Surely you've wet towels in there? The humidistat on my simple extract fan stays on basically until they're dry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Maybe there's leak on a solvent welded joint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 We just use a manual timed boost, anything from half an hour to 2 hours, depending how late you shower (don't want it on boost speed at bed time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just surprised how noisy and slow it is - bathrooms been clear for ages !! . 80% now . Just want to check this is normal operation …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, isn't the humidistat just doing its job? I reckon if I got the UFH going it'd help dry the wet room floor out and the fan wouldn't have to work so hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
