Drimaster eco heat - PIV placement?

[Frankychops]

I've had a drimaster eco heat arrive today.

its the DRI-ECO-HEAT-HC

My bathroom is the room thats suffering from condensation and some black mould growth. the room has a fan that run 24/7, boosts when it senses humidity.

Should I put this in the bathroom, or the hallway just outside?

Then I'd put it in the hallway

Is that the best way as apposed to the room with the issue?

If your bathroom already has a 24/7 extractor fan, adding a drimaster is probably not going to do very much.
You should look at where all the moisture is coming from and the whole heating/ventilation/insulation situation.

It could be the whole house is humid and your bathroom is simply the coolest room in the house, so it attracts all the condensation?
It could be your bathroom fan is making the right noises but not actually shifting any air?

Some people put vast amounts of moisture into their houses with cooking, drying clothes. wet room type showers etc etc, it takes a great deal of heat and/or airflow to shift that kind of dampness.

just to say, this has worked a treat.

Even with freezing/frosty mornings, 99% of condensation has gone.

I’ve actually turned down the speed from 6(max) to 5 to see if it still works as well

You’ll eventually end up at speed 2 or 3 at most

Freezing frosty mornings, outdoor air is very dry.
