Hi there, thanks for the replies.
It came out of the box with these two controls built in - I selected option 4 when I bought it from these guys, seems they don't agree with you...

Ah. Well that would...
Hi Andy, thanks for the reply. 40% is the lowest humidity setting so it's actually already set up like that. Does that mean you think it should work in the way I expected it to with that wiring...?
Hi all, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? :oops:
I have a bathroom extractor with a humidistat and over-run timer (no pull cord). I would like the fan to come on when the humidity reaches 40% and switch off 10 mins after the humidity drops below this level - I've set the...
Hi, thanks for the reply.
It's very near a door on a thin internal wall (bedroom to lounge) that wouldn't have had a chimney on it so instinctively doesn't seem like either of those things.
I can't feel air flow in front of it. I might do a candle test - just thought of that, will get onto...
Hi, thanks very much for the replies - bit of a delay as I couldn't get online for long enough to post yesterday...
Yes, that's exactly the sort of thing I meant - I'm worried about getting the seal right all the way around, including to the floor. It's a concrete floor - so assume that's...
Well folks, you've certainly left a gal a little confused :)
I have to confess I was a little worried about using wall insulation after my first post; I'd done some more reading and it seemed to be quite risky (mould developing in or on the insulation, or the issue moving elsewhere). I'm...
Deluks - thanks, hadn't seen those before, space is a bit tight but should be able to afford 10mm. I'd only fit boards below worktop level though because there is no mould issue above and I don't want to re-surface the whole wall. Instinctively the boards seem like a good idea but have a couple...
Thanks all for your replies, very much appreciated.
Woody - makes sense when you put it like that :)
mointainwalker - cheers, that calculator looks really useful - I'm going to get myself a cheap hygrometer and keep an eye on the humidity levels in the flat. Will help me to decide if...
Nor had I. I just googled wall insulation. Do you have any views on using this type of product (of whatever brand) to solve the specific issue I described?
None at all. Hadn't even heard of these vents before my post, I just found through googling and wanted to give examples of what I was talking about. Should I be concerned about them?
Thanks woody.
My reason for wondering about venting behind the units was that I saw another discussion where someone had black mould behind bedroom wardrobes. Some were suggesting that vents behind would help.
If the issue is poor ventilation, why would a vent there not help the...
Hello,
I'm fitting new kitchen units against two external walls that have suffered black mould - particularly behind the base corner unit where the walls meet. The underside of the wooden worktop is especially badly affected where it touches the wall. Would it help to -
1) Fit a vapour or...
Thanks flameport - there is one vent in the lounge, it's not on an external wall and it's about 25cm x 20cm. Is there an easy way to tell if it is actually doing any venting and is not blocked?
Would it be a good idea to include a vent in the kitchen on an external wall - and do you mean just...
