When the Unit is set up to empty into a drain, does the Unit shut itself off when it reaches the desired humidity level? Then on again if it rises?

Yes it does. Ours is set at 65%. It seems to do well at keeping the musty smell out of our basement.

Yes on both of your questions.......We are extremely happy with our unit..........

I was in the basement when the fan did shut off. It started back up a little while later. So Yes, when it reaches the desired humidity level the unit does go silent and then start up when it needs. The unit is in the basement but it is no louder than a small fan running. There is no noise when the water drains from the unit.

I don't have my setup to empty into a drain but the unit I have does shut off completely when the desired humidity level is reached. I have been unhappy about this since the unit is not supposed to shut off completely (unless the water tank is full). I returned one unit after confirming with the manufacturer that indeed the fan should continue running even when the compressor stops (once humidity level is reached). The second unit they sent me is doing the same thing as the first - shutting off and then clicking back on....which wakes me up at night.

no it does not it has a screw on plug on the bottom that from time to time the system will let you know the water level is full and it will shut off the unit and you will have to drain the system, the other thing you can do is to place a drain line and avoid the hassle all together.

On my unit the fan will only turn off if the unit shuts down due to a full bucket. Otherwise the compressor cycles on and off depending on what you have the humidity control set at, but the fan runs all the time. Like the service rep told you, the unit won't know what the room humidity is if the fan isn't moving the room's air through the unit.

The unit automatically shuts off when it reaches the desired humidity level - turn the right knob clockwise for more humidity. If this does not work remove and replace the front half of the unit - the electrical connections are sometimes finicky. If this does not work - does your unit need to be cleaned?

does the unit have an automatic humidity level shutoff and on feature that you can set?

I too experienced the same thing with this Humidistat, it would switch open (off) when the humidity would fall below the set point and would switch closed (on) when the humidity went above the set point. I found this opposite on how I was expecting the device to function. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes ,Once the dirsired hummidity is reach the unit will turn off and will run again when the humidity rises...I love this unit......Also you can set the timer to run for 1,2,3 hours and more....and then the unit will shut completely off...

The unit allows you to set the desired humidity level between 35% relative humidity and 80% relative humidity. It shuts off automatically when the desired humidity level is reached. The alternative way to use the unit is to set it in continuous mode. It shuts off in this mode only when the bucket is filled with water.

Unit shuts off when pan is full or humidity level is reached. That includes the fa.

"Auto-Drain" refers to the fact that that this unit pumps the water over the hot condenser coil in an attempt to evaporate it. How well this works depends on the humidity of the air. When the humidity is fairly low, you may never need to drain the tank. If the humidity is high, you may need to drain it in less than 8 hours. There is an auto-shut-down if the tank gets full.

I push the + and - buttons on the top to set the humidity level. Make sure your machine is on "normal". If it is set to turbo or continuous, it will run continuously instead of automatically shutting off when the humidity is low, so the + and - buttons don't work.

It shuts off automatically, but not based on collection jug level. It has a float switch inside that turns it off when inside water level gets low. If jug is emptied before each run, it works great. If jug was partially full before a run it would overflow.

We live in a hot and dry apartment. We usually do not at the timer, set output to max, and it will cycle on/off until it runs out of water, usually the next morning. The humidistat does appear to overestimate the humidity by about 10% compared to a separate hydrometer. I believe this is due to the location of the senor near the mist output, but is easy to overcome by setting the target humidity about 10% higher. The timer is optional and I've never used it.

Yes the machine will automatically shut off, then start again when needed. Set the desired humidity level, fan speed, etc. and forget it... Well make sure the drain hose is attached and to a continuous drain otherwise you'll have to empty the bucket provided.

Yes, yes. Indeed. I had the same problem as the unit wanted to fill the bucket (then turn off) instead of running out the rear spicket through the hose and run for me non-stop - which was why I bought it in the first place. It works for me now .. I just have to make absolutely sure that 1) the humidifier is sitting level; 2) the hose is always lower than the spicket on the back of the humidifier and 3) there is no relative "rise" in the drain hose. That means water is always running "downhill" from the drain spicket to the floor drain. Taking these deliberate measures solved my problem (now for years). Hope it helps you. Yes, yes. Indeed.

Yes, it shuts off when the "hopper" is full. I haven't bothered to install the drain hose, so I find I need to empty the unit about once a day for a basement under a modest-sized house in the humid mid-South. So far, I'm very pleased with the unit.

No, it does not shut off when full. Water runs out in the floor.Other than that, it works good. How do I correct this?
