This is not necessary but there are several reasons why people purchase the digital climate gauge in addition to their dehumidifier:

• The digital climate gauge provides you with an indication of when the dehumidifier is needed i.e. The dehumidifier does not have to be switched on all the time. Some people prefer to have the dehumidifier put aside and only have it out when in use. The digital climate gauge provides an accurate indication as to when the dehumidifier needs to be activated in order to reach an ideal humidity level.
• Many people move their Dehumidifiers(s) from room to room so that they can systematically dry their home or business premises to an acceptable level. Having the digital climate gauge allows you to easily test the environment in multiple rooms, without having to move the Dehumidifier around needlessly. It gives valuable information as to where the Dehumidifier needs to be located next.
• We have often found that Dehumidifiers are shared between family members and their different premises. The digital climate gauge is handy for testing other rooms/locations without having to transport the Dehumidifier to perform the initial test.
• The Dehumidifier reads the temperature and humidity of the air that is being drawn into the machine at the location and level it is situated. Depending on the size and shape of the room, a more accurate overall measurement of the environment in the room, can be achieved by having the digital climate gauge at a higher level and a reasonable distance away from the machine.
