Humidifier water consumption is much higher than expected

Steps:

• Check settings: Verify the target humidity is reasonable (e.g., 40–50%). Avoid setting above 60%.
• Disable continuous mode: Ensure the unit is not set to continuous or maximum mode without humidity control.
• Relocate sensor: If the humidity sensor is built-in, avoid placing the unit near drafts or heat sources that can skew readings.
• Compare with external hygrometer: Use a separate hygrometer to check actual room humidity. If the unit’s reading is much lower, the humidity sensor module may be out of calibration and should be replaced.
