If you’re hoping to get some extra use out of your dehumidifier, here is how it works: A dehumidifier collects moisture from the air through the use of a fan. The moisture drips into your drain pan and then drains out into a drainage system. That’s it!
If you own a dehumidifier, you may wonder if it does anything more than collect water.

What Is A Dehumidifier?
A dehumidifier is an appliance used to remove moisture from the air in order to lower humidity levels indoors. This can be useful for many reasons: reducing allergens such as dust mites and mold; preventing damage from condensation on windows; preventing cross-contamination between surfaces (e.g., countertops), etc..
There are many types of air cleaners out there, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Air cleaners come in many shapes and sizes. They can be expensive, noisy, bulky, hard to clean and difficult to install. They also don’t always work very well or last very long before they break down or become ineffective (which means you will need another one). Some air cleaners contain harmful chemicals that could cause health problems for people with allergies or asthma if they accidentally inhale them while cleaning their home with an air cleaner running in the background (or even worse). And if you have a mold problem somewhere inside your house then there is no way you are going to be able to use an air filter because those molds will still be growing inside the filter system itself!
The main thing to understand is that a dehumidifier only removes moisture from the air. It doesn’t remove other particles as well (like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander).

Air purifiers remove particulate matter from the air by using HEPA filters which trap 99.97% of all airborne particles up to 0.3 microns in size. A common misconception about air purifiers is that they are also capable of removing odors and bacteria because they have filters that can capture those particles as well. However, this isn’t true; only some types of filtration systems can do this — but not all!
Dehumidifiers do not clean the air
Dehumidifiers do not clean the air. They only remove moisture from the air, but other particles that have been trapped in your home can’t be removed. Dehumidifiers also don’t remove pollutants, allergens or bacteria from the air.
Dehumidifiers do not remove dust mites or pet dander either; these are two of many reasons why people with allergies need to use an air purifier instead of a dehumidifier!
