FAQs

What is the ideal humidity level for my home?

Generally, a relative humidity level between 40% and 60% is considered comfortable and healthy. The Arete One's Smart Humidity Control can help maintain this range automatically.

How often should I replace the H13 HEPA filter?

For optimal performance, the H13 HEPA filter should be replaced approximately every 3 months. However, this can vary depending on usage and the level of airborne pollutants in your environment.

Can I use the MeacoDry Arete One purely as an air purifier?

Yes, the unit can be used in air purification mode even when dehumidification is not required, making it useful year-round to improve air quality.

Is a continuous drainage hose included with the dehumidifier?

A continuous drainage adapter is included, allowing you to connect a standard garden hose. However, the hose itself is not included to reduce plastic waste, as most users do not utilize this feature.

How quiet is the MeacoDry Arete One?

It operates at an exceptionally low noise level of 38dB, which is twice as quiet as many standard dehumidifiers, making it one of the quietest large dehumidifiers available.

What does 'Night Mode' do?

Night Mode turns off all indicator lights, reduces the fan speed to the quietest setting, and silences all button beeps. It also requires two touches to exit the mode, preventing accidental changes and ensuring undisturbed operation, particularly during sleep.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The MeacoDry Arete One comes with a generous 5-year warranty.

How do I empty the water tank?

The unit features a large 4.8-litre water tank designed for easy removal. Simply pull the tank out using the integrated handles, carry it by the handle, and pour the water out using either of the two convenient spouts.

Troubleshooting

Dehumidifier is not collecting water or extracting moisture effectively.

Check that the humidity setting is lower than the current room humidity. Ensure the water tank is correctly seated and empty. Verify that the ambient room temperature is above 10°C, as dehumidifier performance decreases in colder conditions. Close windows and doors in the area where the unit is operating.

The unit seems louder than expected.

Ensure the dehumidifier is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check for any obstructions around the air inlet or outlet. If running at a higher fan speed, consider using Night Mode for quieter operation, or selecting a lower fan speed if available.

Air purification doesn't seem to be working, or air quality hasn't improved.

Inspect the H13 HEPA filter. If it appears dirty, clogged, or has been in use for over 3 months, it needs to be replaced. Ensure the unit is running in a mode that engages the air purification function.

Continuous drainage is not working, or water is leaking.

Ensure the continuous drainage adapter and hose are securely connected and free from kinks or blockages. Verify that the hose has a continuous downward slope to allow gravity to drain the water. If you need to drain water upwards, ensure you are using the separately purchased Arete pump.

The control panel lights are off and buttons don't respond immediately.

The unit might be in Night Mode. In Night Mode, all lights are off, and it requires two confirming touches to change the machine back to normal operation to prevent accidental changes.

Cons

  • Continuous drainage hose is not included (adapter provided for standard garden hose).
  • Requires a separately sold pump for continuous drainage that runs upwards.
  • H13 HEPA filter needs regular replacement (approximately every 3 months) for optimal air purification.
  • Water tank, while easy to empty, still requires manual emptying if continuous drainage is not used.

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging.
  2. Placement: Position the unit in the desired area, ensuring adequate space around air inlets and outlets for optimal airflow. It can sit flush against a wall.
  3. Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

Care

  • Water Tank: Empty the 4.8-litre water tank when full. Use the integrated handles and dual spouts for easy, spill-free emptying.
  • HEPA Filter: The H13 HEPA filter should be replaced approximately every 3 months, depending on usage and air quality. Replace it with another H13 HEPA filter or an active charcoal filter.
  • External Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Internal Cleaning: Info needed: [Guidance on cleaning internal components or filters, if applicable beyond HEPA filter.]
