Is the Airmonitor Plus Waterproof?

Modified on Wed, 8 Jul at 11:22 AM

No. The Airmonitor Plus is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is designed for indoor air quality monitoring and should always be used in a dry environment.

The monitor is designed with ventilation openings that allow air to flow freely through the sensors. This airflow is essential for accurate air quality measurements, but it also means that water and moisture can enter the device if it is exposed to wet conditions.

Where Should I Use It?

For the best performance, use your Airmonitor Plus:

Indoors in a clean, dry environment.
On a stable, level surface.
Away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

If you take the monitor outdoors to calibrate the CO₂ sensor, choose a dry, covered location and avoid rain or excessive humidity.

Where Should I Avoid Using It?

Do not use the Airmonitor Plus:

In the rain or snow.
In bathrooms during showers.
In saunas or steam rooms.
Near humidifier mist.
Near sinks or areas where it may be splashed with water.
Outdoors during wet or humid weather.

What If the Monitor Gets Wet?

If your Airmonitor Plus is exposed to water:

Disconnect it from any power source immediately.
Move it to a warm, dry location.
Allow it to dry completely before turning it back on.
Do not attempt to open or dismantle the device.

If the monitor does not operate normally after drying, please contact Breathe Tech Support for assistance.

Warranty Information

Damage caused by water or liquid ingress is not covered under the Breathe Tech Warranty. Always use the Airmonitor Plus in accordance with the operating instructions to help prevent accidental damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Airmonitor Plus outdoors?

Yes, but only temporarily in dry weather, such as when calibrating the CO₂ sensor. It should not be left outdoors or exposed to rain or moisture.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

We recommend avoiding bathrooms while showering or in other high-humidity conditions, as excessive moisture may affect the sensors and damage the device.

Why isn't the Airmonitor Plus waterproof?

The monitor relies on continuous airflow through its sensors to accurately measure indoor air quality. Sealing the device against water would significantly reduce its ability to measure the surrounding air accurately.
