Does this unit have humidity control?

According to the research we've done with the manufacturer, this unit does NOT have humidity control, just temperature control. Thank you for looking and asking. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

No. But you will need a pail to collect the water. When the air "conditioner" is on it will take water out of the air to lower the humidity. My experience was that I needed to empty the pail several times the first week or so, but then once the humidity in the room went down, I only had to empty it every few days. I do like my unit.

Yes, I believe that I read it will keep running to keep the humidity level at that point. Refer to the manual for further guidance

no but it can be modified (goodbye warranty) to humidify rather than dehumidify. Heating vs cooling is not an option but also a possible modification

Yes -- In the Installation Guide (69-2693-02), which I believe is available on line if not in the package, under Installer Setup, function # 0380 must be set to 1 (thermostat controls dehumidification with air conditioner). In that mode, there are 6 keypads across the bottom of the display rather than the 5 shown in this figure and the humidity control level is displayed below the temperature; actual current humidity is seen after MORE keypad is touched. Great thermostat -- especially for our house in Florida.

Yes, I received instructions, albeit brief ones. The unit is simple to operate. Fill both containers and place them in the unit. Press down and hold the lower knob to turn it on. Then, you can adjust the fan level by turning the knob either way. You can then adjust the level of humidity with the upper knob. When one of the units empties, the readout will flash with the humidity level (in numbers) and "F" for the side that is empty. All very simple. I like my unit a lot; it does just what it's supposed to, and makes for a relatively nice-looking piece of furniture, as well. Good luck! Yes, I received instructions, albeit brief ones.

You can set the humidity on the control panel but the machine runs no matter how low the humidity goes. You can read on the panel the current humidity in the room. It will lower humidity. It will never turn on and off like a regular dehumidifier.

I don't think so. The humidity is set at a fixed amount. I think this is more of a air purifier than a humidifier.

Yes, I am using it in the humid environment. The thermostat has been working as expected.

I haven't. Plenty of humidity in my home,and I see no need for that. I suppose you could if you wanted to,but I really don't think it needs it.

Yes the unit runs continusly but you can hear when the condener kicks in to remove the humidity. When Humidity is low just the fan runs all the time.

Our complaint with this unit is that it needs to be emptied every 2 hours when it is humid. We would never get one of these things again. They are not for humid areas.

I have it in a 10 by 12 foot room and it seems to keep the humidity to 51%. It seems unable to get the humidity below 50%. A small compressor type dehumidifier was able to drop the humidity to below 40% easily. Also, this unit will raise the room temperature more than a compressor type unit will. It is pretty expensive for not much capacity, I will see how long the unit lasts.

Yes but it does not necessarily give an accurate reading. I believe that it gives a high reading most of the time when I have compared it with another non digital humidistat. But you can set it to turn off automatically at a certain reading.

No, the fan does not run all the time. Once you have set your humidity level the unit will only activate to maintain the the desired level.

There are no controls or humidity function as part of the unit. Indirectly, any cooling unit by its functions will remove a certain amount of humidity. I have two of these identical units and in each one I keep an open Rubbermaid 1-quart container with water to help maintain proper humidity levels. I bought a digital temperature/humidity meter and with the pan of water, the units maintain 70% humidity +/-. I think you'd have to pay 2-3 times as much for a high end unit with humidity control. Overall I been very happy with the units.

Can this unit be used in a bathroom which includes a shower (and thus a certain amount of humidity)?
