Frequently Asked Questions
hOmeLabs dehumidifier FL error but bucket is completely dry — cause?
A dry bucket with FL showing means the float switch is stuck in the raised position. Clean the float switch area and check the float moves freely. If it does not move, the switch assembly needs replacing.
How much water does a hOmeLabs 50-pint dehumidifier collect per day?
In high-humidity conditions (80% RH, 27°C), a 50-pint hOmeLabs dehumidifier can collect up to 50 pints (about 23 litres) per day. In moderate conditions (60% RH), collection is much lower.
Can I use a pump to drain a hOmeLabs dehumidifier automatically?
hOmeLabs dehumidifiers use gravity drainage only — they do not have a built-in pump. A third-party condensate pump can be installed on the drain hose outlet to pump water uphill to a distant drain.
