what do i need to do to run the pump in dehumidify mode? seems like it uses the pump for the first cycle to get to desired humidity, tank from then on

Not sure. I'm not using the pump for direct outflow out of the house. Sorry I can't be of assistance

If you set it to pump mode then it pumps every time the tank fills up. I've had it running 3 years now and have never manually emptied it.

I'm not sure how to answer this question. On my dehumidifier, when you put the unit in "pump" mode, it stays in pump mode. The only time water goes into my tank, is when I do not turn the pump button on, so I'm not sure why yours is changing from one function to the other. In fact, where I use mine, it is so humid, I never even attempt to use the tank feature. Sorry I couldn't help you more. randy

evidendenly your humidity is lower or the same as number being seen so just press button under number you'll see it go down to lower number and you'll see the go light go on and hear it start up, i set mine on 40, bu it does shut off when it reaches 40 and if you unplug unit you have to do button all over again

Clean it out completely and check cords. Also make sure there is water in it, If not it may slow down or stop without it. Mine did that, but after I cleaned it and filled it back up, it was up and running. I think it's because the water was too low. That makes sense to me.

Difficult to do. I usually simply squirt the intakes and squirrel cage with a water hose, set it outside to dry and start it up the next day.

It shuts off when it need emptying, however I don't know if it shuts off when reaching the desired humidity level. Ours is in the basement and under house and has never reached that point.

No - I was concerned that I might burn it out but what I do is get the pump flowing and then unplug it and just let it act as a siphon. THat way you dopn't have to worr about letting it run dry. It takes longer but it's better than standing around waiting for it to finish.

Basically you fill the reservoir up with water and one end is hooked up to am air pump. it runs the air down to the bottom and bubbles the air up through a sponge. This, in turn, makes the air super saturated with water. it then exits through tubing and is expelled trough a suction cup mounted air hose (easily attached to the inside wall of a terrarium.) I believe in my review I said I use a high output dual airpump with two of these topic aires. It keeps the humidity at around 70-80% for a couple weeks (until you refill the reservoirs). Hope this helped.

not understanding, is your pump running when u are not using it? Did you adjust the PSI of the tank with the recommended setting from your pump before using it?

I had that happen with mine, also. I tracked it down to the plastic shaft that the float rides on was not seated into the place for it on the bottom of the part with the fan. Also, if it doesn't run very often, try turning the humidity setting up and see what happens. They have some trouble-shooting tips in the manual.

I'd try to bring it up with tweezers. Failing that, you'll have to empty the water from the collection hole--which is a pain but doable and won't affect the efficacy of the dehumidifier.

Yes there is a mist. You need to fill the tank with water. You can turn on just the light too. It is meant to put moisture in the air so no it doesn't dehumidify. The instructions shiw specifics in adding water and oil and hiw to turn it on. I ran mine the other day with just lights accidentally. :)

Switch once is moisture control mode, switch it twice will turn it to full run mode. Just switch it on will be auto.

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.

I would first start by double checking the condition of the Pumping unit before attempting any use. 1. Disassemble the Pump assembly where the magnetic fins spin. You should be able to remove the magnetic/plastic fanblade assembly. There is either a metal/plastic stick with two rubber tips used to help dampen any vibrations. If the pump wasn't taken care of, or "ran dry" for too long, the magnetic fan assembly may have warped making disassembly more difficult. 2. if all goes well, and you can in fact pull the pump's magnetic fan assembly out, or can freely spin it within the pump housing assembly, then you can try priming the unit by filling the canister. (do this outside or where overflow water will be caught) 3. I have just over filled my unit, and while waiting for the pump to start sucking in water, I've closed the "Out" hose valve. applied generous pumping of the prime button, then reopened the Out hose valve. This creates suction thus if no water is coming into the "In" hose valve you may have a obstruction. Make sure the canister is full of water before starting it up, made a huge difference in how long I waited for the water to begin flowing. The top half of the pump assembly itself needs to have some water in it, because to me, it seems like it doesn't do jack squat unless there is water in it. I'm not a major fan of the Cascade series pumps, but when it comes to customer service the manufacture I contacted directly helped me out in a pinch. There is a science to the Priming aspect of getting the unit going. I've noticed leaving the "Out" valve at the half off position, while priming, this helps pressure build up as the "In" hose begins to fill with water. The sudden opening of the "Out" valve causes the built up pressure to pull enough of that collected water in the "In" hose to make it to the pump assembly, and voila. it freaking starts working. ..after 30 minutes of trying"

If you need to add more humidity run a humidifier. Also a dehumidifier is grate for humid days but AC usually takes out enough with a big enough unit. I recommend split unit but higher plus installation as this unit is a "bad design" as it takes out part of cold or hot air causing a vacuum effect. Running a heat pump you want house sealed up.

Sounds like it needs to be cleaned. Follow the directions for cleaning that came with the pump, and go through the process twice. Good Luck! I've had the same problem after several years of use at which point the pump just seems to wear out.

Hi when the tank fills up the unit with stop pumping water (Make sure that yellow short tube with hole in it is at the top of your pipe). Just lift the hose and attachment in the air about 6 - 8 inches and hold the start button until it stays on and the pump is then primed. Caution make sure you have a hose attached that runs outside ok? lol
