Ideal-Air 30 Pint Dehumidifier, Up to 50 Pints per Day, 115V, Continuous Drain

Ideal-Air 30 Pint Dehumidifier: Compact Moisture Control for Small Rooms

The Ideal-Air 30 pint is a portable refrigerant dehumidifier sized for grow tents, small grow rooms and similar enclosed spaces. It removes 30 pints of water a day at the AHAM rating of 80°F and 60 percent RH. In the warmer, wetter conditions of 86°F and 80 percent RH, the same unit pulls up to 50 pints a day. It runs on a standard 115V outlet and draws 4.7 A at 520 W. A digital control panel sets the target humidity anywhere from 35 to 85 percent in 5 percent steps. The display reads the actual room humidity from 30 to 90 percent RH, within plus or minus 5 percent. Two fan speeds, High and Normal, let you push moisture removal or run quieter once the room is dry. A timer sets automatic start and stop points from half an hour up to 24 hours. Water collects in a removable 3 L tank, and the unit shuts off when the tank is full. For hands-off runs, a drain hose adapter accepts a garden hose with a female threaded end. Auto defrost protects the coils in cool rooms, and auto restart resumes your settings after a power outage. A three-minute delay protects the compressor whenever the unit is switched off and back on. A carrying handle and wheel casters make it easy to move between rooms.

Setting Up an Ideal Air Dehumidifier in a Small Room

Close doors and other openings so the unit works on one enclosed space. Set it on a smooth, level floor that can hold the weight of a full tank. Leave at least 8 in of open space on every side and 16 in above for airflow. Keep it away from heaters and dryers, and out of spots where water could splash onto the case. The unit operates between 41 and 95°F, and the coils can frost over below 41°F. Run it continuously for the first 24 hours after setup. Plug it into its own grounded outlet rather than sharing one with other equipment. For continuous drainage, remove the outlet cap on the back and fit the drain hose assembly with the two screws supplied. Then route the hose flat or downhill to the drain, with no kinks. Empty the tank before moving the unit, and never roll it over carpet with water inside. The Check Filter light comes on after 250 hours of fan time. Wash the filter in clean water every two weeks, dry it, and press the Filter key to reset the light. Every few weeks, clean the tank with a mild detergent to keep mold and bacteria out. If the display shows P2, empty the tank and seat it back in place.
