VII. TIPS ON WHEN TO USE YOUR PORTABLE DEHUMIDIFIER

If you have respiratory problems, asthma and allergies, your Whynter RPD-561 EGP portable dehu­

midifier is a great option for controlling moist environments. Creating dry air can keep indoor air pol­
lutants at a more manageable level, especially when used in conjunction with an air purifier.  Using 
your portable dehumidifier can help you save money in the long run because it uses relatively little 
power and can help furnaces and air conditioners operate more efficiently. 

1. Excess moisture

Indoor environments with excessive moisture can cause mold and fungus to thrive inside 

the walls and beneath the carpet.  Many types of mold are potentially dangerous and can lead to 
health problems. The Whynter RPD-561 EGP portable dehumidifier reduces the amount of moisture 
in the air inside a home, which makes it far more difficult for harmful mold to grow. This portable 
dehumidifier is also effective for a small area, such as a hallway or a child's bedroom. 

2. Respiratory problems or allergies

The Whynter RPD-561 EGP is a 50-pint portable dehumidifier which is perfect for larger 

rooms or areas in your home, including a living room or family room.  If your home is musty, you will 
want to use your portable dehumidifier, especially if you have respiratory trouble or allergies. This 
unit can also help relieve symptoms by controlling the relative humidity inside your home and a 
good idea in general if your home has such underlying problems as a leaky foundation walls or 
inade-quate ventilation or if you live in a humid area.  By keeping the relative humidity indoors below 
50 percent, you can keep allergy-inducing dust mites and mold from thriving. 

3. Basements

If you have a basement that is below-grade, you should use your Whynter RPD-561 EGP 

portable dehumidifier. This dehumidifier will help you keep the moisture levels in your basement 
down to manageable levels.  By doing this, you can help keep your indoor furnace operating effi­
ciently and even help eliminate minor standing-water problems. Your portable dehumidifier also can 
help keep furniture and valuables dry, and it will help keep electronics in proper working order. 

4. Humid climates

In humid climates, such as areas near a beach or large body of water, your Whynter 

RPD-561 EGP portable dehumidifier can help keep the environment in your home at a more 

comfortable level. While the actual temperature won't be affected, you'll sleep more comfortably and 
may actually save money, since your unit can keep the indoor humidity and, thus, your thermostat 
under con-trol.
