#4. Run On Timers (Weiss FA170).

We recommend the use of run-on timers. This is a little box-o-tricks, fitted into the flush box behind the fan switch, it lets the fan continue running for a set time after the power supply (eg the light switch) has been turned off. It should run long enough that the air in the room is changed at least once. The reason for doing this is that you finish your shower, dry off and rush out of the house to work, leaving the room closed up. Unless the air in the room is extracted, most of it will still be very moist, as the fan won’t have had a chance to clear the air before it was switched off.

Due to the variation between cities and countries, we have to keep the advice fairly general, and you should check your local requirements.
