💡 What to Know Before You Start Using a Dehumidifier

Dehumidifiers are simple to use, but here are a few things worth noting before you bring one home:

1. Emptying the Water Tank

As your dehumidifier pulls moisture from the air, it collects it as water in its tank. That means you'll need to empty the bucket—some models need it once or twice a day depending on how humid it is.

2. Go Hands-Free with Continuous Drainage

Several models offer a continuous drainage option so you don't need to manually empty the tank. You'll need to:

• Check if the model comes with a drainage hose (some don't).
• Ensure you can run the hose to a nearby bathroom or floor trap for proper flow.

3. Keep Your Windows Closed

Leaving your windows open is like inviting humidity back in. For best results, keep doors and windows shut so the unit can work efficiently without chasing moisture from outside.

4. Yes, It Makes Some Noise

All compressor-based dehumidifiers generate some level of noise—this is totally normal. Some models are quieter than others, and noise tolerance varies from person to person. If you're sensitive to sound, do check the decibel rating (dB) before buying.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

Is a dehumidifier useful in Singapore?

Yes—absolutely! With year-round humidity levels often above 75%, dehumidifiers help prevent mould, musty odours, and moisture damage. They're especially useful during the monsoon seasons when laundry takes forever to dry indoors.

Do dehumidifiers make the room colder?

Not quite. Dehumidifiers don't function like air conditioners. They remove excess moisture from the air, which can make the room feel cooler and more comfortable, but they don't actually lower the temperature.

Can a dehumidifier replace a dryer?

A dehumidifier is not the same as a dryer. While both tackle moisture, a dehumidifier won't dry your clothes as effectively as a tumble dryer. However, models with a "Laundry Mode" can speed up the drying process by extracting moisture from wet fabrics indoors. While not a direct substitute for a dryer, dehumidifiers are more energy-efficient and gentler on your clothes.

How often should I empty the water tank?

This depends on the humidity level and the tank size. Some models also offer continuous drainage options for added convenience.

Where should I place my dehumidifier?

Place it in the most humid part of the room- bedrooms, living rooms, storerooms, and wardrobes are all great options.
