Continual Trickle Ventilation
When speaking to customers, the most common issue which comes up is their current extractor fan is inefficient at clearing the condensation in their homes. The most common extractor fans are activated by light switch or pull-cord, the issue with the manual design of the fan is that they only switch on when you tell them too. If you forget to turn it on before a shower, condensation will build up in your bathroom, causing mould build-up.
What makes Vapourflow extraction fans unique is that our fans run continuously on trickle mode, and are constantly detecting the absolute humidity in your home so any change to humidity levels will cause the fan to switch into high-speed mode. This is a much more effective solution as it’s lowering humidity in the background, and able to react automatically to any sudden changes in humidity.
The basis for our system is using a cross-flow of air throughout your home, for example a Dryvent in the kitchen would be continuously extracting humid, stale air and a WAD in the bathroom would be continuously replacing it with fresh, dry air. The trickle mode on our fans is extremely quiet, but immensely effective at keeping your home dryer and therefore warmer.
I’m sure you can agree an automatic fan which detects humidity and runs based on the specific environment within your home is great! But how much will this cost? Well I have good news, our fans are energy efficient with the Dryvent range costing £7-£10 per annum, and the WAD range costing around £65 per annum. Which at around £6.25 a month is cost of two coffees at your local coffee shop.
Another aspect of continuous ventilation which is often overlooked is that by drying out the air within a property, using a WAD fan, will reduce the cost of heating your home, as dry air uses less energy to heat up. So as well as the fans being low cost to run, having a Vapourflow cross-flow ventilation system will reduce the cost of heating your home.
This technology sounds amazing. Nice to hear of such innovations, in an industry where they aren’t that often.
Hi, unable to control our Dryventsince it was purchased in 2021, neither via installers iphone as recommended nor our own iphone. We need the fan to do more work in a bathroom / drying room, via controller.
Hi Eric, providing you have an iPhone, the App will work, if not something amiss – is the unit within range? any questions please send email to vents@vapourflow.com, direct to technical assistance
Had this installed, but can’t say I like it. There are times, in the bathroom, when we want the fan to extract even when humidity is low, yet we cannot get it to do so. Previously, the extractor was controlled by the light switch – we knew exactly what was going on, and had control.
On all our Ventilation systems the override is available to high speed via three systems
1. Light Switch – connect the switched live
2. Pul cord on the unit
3. Via the vapourFlow Phone App (iPhone)
