Meaco Arete One 20L - Dehumidifier & Air Purifier

It is suitable for homes up to 5 bedrooms, and also effective in larger spaces like garages, basements, boats, and caravans, with an extraction rate of 20 litres per day.

The medical-grade H13 HEPA filter should be replaced approximately every 3 months, depending on usage and air quality.

Yes, it supports continuous drainage. A standard garden hose adapter is included; you just need a standard garden hose and a suitable drain point with a downward slope. An optional pump is available separately for upward drainage.

Night Mode is designed for quiet operation during sleep. It reduces the fan speed to its lowest setting (38dB) and dims all display lights to ensure an undisturbed environment while still dehumidifying or purifying the air.

Laundry Mode is a continuous running mode designed to help dry clothes indoors more quickly and efficiently. It operates at a higher fan speed and continuous dehumidification to remove moisture from the air, preventing dampness and odours in your laundry.

Yes, the Meaco Arete One 20L is highly energy-efficient, consuming only 250W. It features a power-saving humidistat with intelligent logic to minimize energy usage by only operating when needed to maintain your set humidity level.

The Meaco Arete One 20L comes with a 5-year warranty, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in its durability and performance.

While it is optimized for efficient performance between 10°C and 20°C, it can still operate outside this range. However, its dehumidification capacity will be significantly reduced in colder temperatures. For consistent performance in very cold, unheated spaces, a desiccant dehumidifier might be more suitable, though the Arete One still offers some benefit.

Check if the room humidity is below your target setting; if so, it won't operate. Ensure the room temperature is above 10°C, as dehumidifiers are less effective in colder conditions. Verify the water tank is correctly inserted and not full. Also, check if Laundry Mode is activated, which runs continuously.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and a working electrical outlet. Try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to confirm it has power. If it has a safety switch, ensure it's in the 'on' position.

Check the condition of the H13 HEPA filter. If it's dirty or overdue for replacement (approximately every 3 months), it won't effectively purify the air. Ensure the unit is running in a mode that allows air purification (it can run independently).

Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface to prevent vibrations. Check that the air inlet and outlet grilles are not blocked by furniture or curtains. A full or improperly seated water tank can also sometimes cause extra noise.

Consider setting up the continuous drainage feature. Attach a standard garden hose (adapter included) to the designated port and ensure it drains downwards into a suitable outlet. An optional pump can be purchased separately for upward drainage.
