Venta Excessive Water Consumption / Over-Humidification

Venta Airwasher water level drops very quickly and requires constant refilling

Possible Causes

Fan running at maximum speed continuously, Humidity setpoint set too high, Humidity sensor reading too low, Very dry environment or air leaks in room

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing internal sensors.

  • Adjust settings: Lower the target humidity to a reasonable level (e.g., 45–50%). This will reduce runtime and water consumption.
  • Check environment: Close doors and windows. Seal obvious drafts. In very dry climates or heated rooms, higher water use is normal.
  • Verify sensor: Compare the unit's humidity reading with an external hygrometer. If the Venta reads much lower, the humidity sensor module may be under-reading and causing overrun. Replace if necessary.
  • Fan speed: Use a lower fan speed setting if available to reduce evaporation rate.
