Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DOES THE VENTA AIRWASHER HUMIDIFY?
The Venta Airwasher operates by the process of cold evaporation, so you will
not see any residue, vapors, or mists. The disc stack(s) rotates in the water
creating a surface area of over 45 sq. ft. (Kuubel (LW45)). When dry air meets
the surface area of the disc stack(s), the water evaporates and is sent out into
the room. By using the cold evaporation process, any excess humidity can be
virtually ruled out.
HOW DOES THE VENTA AIRWASHER PURIFY?
Airborne particles, such as dust, pollen, and smoke are drawn in and passed
over the rotating disc stack(s). The particles adhere to the wet disc stack(s)
and are pulled down into the water. Water evaporates, while dirt and dust do
not. The collected particles remain at the bottom of the lower housing and
can be rinsed/wiped out at your convenience.
WHAT LEVEL OF HUMIDITY CAN BE EXPECTED AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE LOWER
HOUSING BE FILLED?
Under ideal conditions, a humidity level of 40-55 % can be expected. Some
factors aecting humidity level are: heating/cooling, home insulation, layout
of the home, air circulation, and the amount of water in the appliance. For
severely dry areas or during the rst days of use, you may notice the water
evaporates more quickly and/or a lower humidity level will be reached. The
water level of the lower housing should be checked and topped o daily.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO RUN THE VENTA AIRWASHER?
Always! The Venta Airwasher is designed to be a year-round, 24/7 product.
Because we wanted it to run year-round, we made the Airwasher’s power
consumption as minimal as possible. For the best results, your Airwasher
should never be turned o or stored for long periods of time.
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE FOR THE VENTA AIRWASHER?
If possible, the Venta Airwasher should be placed in the center of the room, or
along a wall away from windows and a heat source. When using your Venta
Airwasher for multiple rooms (larger model Venta Airwashers) it should be
placed centrally between rooms. Allow 18-20 inches above and on either side
of the Venta Airwasher to allow air circulation.
WILL OPENING OUTSIDE DOORS AND WINDOWS AFFECT THE EFFICIENCY OF THE VENTA
AIRWASHER?
The appliance works best in closed rooms to maintain a consistent level of
humidity. Just as windows and doors are closed when air conditioning is run-
ning, doors between rooms may be left open to allow for air circulation.
