Frequently Asked Questions - LW44 Venta

How to set up the Venta LW44 for the first time?

Remove the top part, take off the transport locks, lift out the disc stack. Place the device on a flat, dry surface at least 50 cm from the wall. Fill the lower section with water up to the mark (about 5 cm below the rim). Add the sample bottle of Venta hygiene product (50 ml). Replace the disc stack, put the top part back on, plug in, and adjust the speed using the +/- buttons.

What type of water should I use in the humidifier?

Use fresh tap water. Do not use distilled or demineralized water, as it does not provide sufficient conductivity for optimal operation of the air washing system. Always add the Venta hygiene product.

How to clean the Venta LW44?

Unplug the device. Drain the dirty water, scrub deposits in the lower section and rinse. Rinse the disc stack with clean water. Fill with fresh water and add Venta hygiene product (dose according to scale). For general cleaning, disassemble the top part (press the release button), clean the drive unit with a dry cloth, and wash the top part under running water. Dry completely before reassembly.

How often should I change the water and clean the device?

Change the water daily for optimal hygiene. Perform a complete cleaning every 10 to 14 days. An annual general cleaning with the specific Venta cleaning product is recommended.

Is the Venta LW44 noisy?

The noise level varies by speed: 32, 37, or 42 dBA. These values are low, corresponding to a whisper or discreet conversation. At the lowest speed, it is very quiet, ideal for a bedroom.

What additives are recommended for the LW44?

Use only original Venta additives (hygiene product). Adding other substances (essential oils, perfumes, etc.) may damage the device and voids the warranty. Venta also offers special fragrances.

Does the Venta LW44 operate without a filter?

Yes, it uses a unique water filtration system. Air is drawn through a stack of rotating discs that dip into water. Dirt particles up to 10 µm are trapped in the water. There is no filter to replace, reducing maintenance costs.

What is the device's humidification capacity?

The LW44 can humidify rooms up to 68 m² (approx. 170 m³). For air purification, the recommended area is up to 40 m². Suitable for large living rooms, open spaces, or offices.

What to do if there are white or brown deposits inside the device?

White (limescale), yellowish-green, or brown deposits are normal and do not affect operation. They form due to water minerals. Use Venta hygiene product to limit their occurrence. During cleaning every 10-14 days, scrub deposits and rinse thoroughly.

What to do if the device does not turn on?

First check that the top part is properly positioned: the device automatically shuts off if it is lifted. Ensure the plug and cable are not damaged. If the problem persists, contact Venta customer service. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

Dear Customer,

The Venta System of Airwashing offers world-wide unique technology. The Venta Airwasher does away with filter pads and is thus extremely hygienic.

Unique method of operation:

Bad, dry air is drawn into the appliance. Rotating disc stacks with a total surface area of 4.2 sq m occupying the minimum possible space ensure that the dry air is humidified by clean water evaporating. Dirt particles down to 10 m (10/1,000 mm) in size are retained in the water. There are no filters to become contaminated. The Venta filter is water - renewed every day, and with a consistently high purifying/humidifying performance year after year.
