How does a dehumidifier work?

Before we comment on what happens when the water tank is full, it is useful to briefly understand how a bloomfold dehumidifier works. These devices extract moisture from the air by having air circulate by a cold store, whereby the moisture condenses and ends up in the water tank. The result? Dry air and a healthier indoor climate.

The dehumidifier keeps running as long as the water in the tank has not yet been reached. But what happens if the tank is full? Do these devices stop automatically? The answer is yes!

Does the dehumidifier stop automatically when the water tank is full? 

Yes, dehumidifiers of Bloomfold are designed to stop automatically when the water tank is full. This function ensures that the device does not continue to run and overflows, which prevents both water and energy waste. When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier automatically stops extracting moisture from the air.

The device has an internal sensor that detects the water level in the tank. As soon as the tank is full, the dehumidifier switches himself off so that it does not cause any inconvenience or damage. This ensures that your device continues to function safely.

What does the dehumidifier indicate when the tank is full?

The dehumidifiers of Bloomfold are provided with clear visual signals when the water tank is full. This ensures that you are immediately informed and can act without having to constantly check the device.

Indication light:

Most Bloomfold models give a visual signal by letting a light burn when the tank is full. This light is bright red or orange, and it lights up as soon as the water level in the tank is too high. This is your first indication that you have to empty the tank.

Sound signals:
Some dehumidifiers from Bloomfold make a beep or another sound signal when the water tank is full. This extra sound helps you to know when the dehumidifier no longer works and it is time to empty the tank.

Display notification (if present):
With more advanced models you can see a notification on the dehumidifier display. Often there is a text such as "tank full" or a symbol of a water drop that indicates that the water level is too high.

Take the water tank and empty it in a sink or toilet. Make sure that you handle the water that you pour out carefully to prevent spilling.
