Hygiene, mould and safety
Since an enthalpic heat exchanger also transfers humidity, it might seem that the risk of mold is higher. In reality, however, all moisture is carried away with the fresh air, so there is no risk of mold growth.
Our recommendation is to never switch off the unit during the winter months, so that moisture is continuously removed. If you still need to shut down the unit, remove the exchanger, rinse it with clean water, dry it thoroughly, and only then reinstall it.
Yes, the use of an enthalpic heat exchanger is completely safe. The membrane is designed to allow only water vapor molecules to pass through, while blocking bacteria, odors, and harmful substances. All enthalpic heat exchangers we offer are hygienically tested and certified.
