DewStop FS-100 Condensation Control Sentry Fan Switch, White
The DewStop FS-100 Condensation Sentry Fan Switch is ideal for preventing the growth of mold and mildew created by condensation from baths and showers. The switch features a clever sensor that constantly monitors temperature, humidity, and dew point and automatically turns on your fan when the air becomes too heavy. Once a room's condensation level is brought down, the sensor will trigger the fan to turn off. You can rely on the sensor to work automatically, or you can manually control your fan with the button located on the switch. For those times when you choose to turn the fan on yourself, a 30-minute fan timer will automatically turn it off to help you save money and electricity.FS-100 Condensation Sentry Fan Switch (White)At a Glance:Automatically starts fan when condensation is detected; triggers fan to turn off when moisture level is downManual on/off switch features built-in 30-minute timerHelps prevent dangerous mold and mildew growthCuts down on energy costs by reducing heating and air-conditioning lossWorks with any existing or new residential fanProlongs the life of your bathroomDewStop constantly monitors your bathroom's climate and automatically turns on your fan when condensation is detected.View larger.You can rely on DewStop to control condensation for you, or you can manually turn on your fan when needed.View larger.Save on Energy and Maintenance CostsUsing an exhaust fan to rid a bathroom of humidity can be a tricky balancing act.
