Ideal-Air 60 Pint Dehumidifier with Internal Pump, Up to 120 Pints per Day, 115V

Ideal-Air 60 Pint Dehumidifier: Built-In Pump for Mid-Size Rooms

The Ideal-Air 60 pint is a portable refrigerant dehumidifier with a built-in condensate pump, sized for mid-size grow rooms. It removes 60 pints of water a day at the AHAM rating of 80°F and 60 percent RH. In the 86°F and 80 percent RH conditions of a busy flower room, it pulls up to 120 pints a day. The unit runs on 115V and draws 7 A at 680 W, moving 271 CFM across its coils. Water collects in a removable 10 L tank, about 21 pints, with an automatic shutoff when the tank is full. The internal pump pushes water out through the supplied pump drain hose, so the unit can empty itself while the room stays closed. Gravity drainage is the other option, through a rear outlet that takes a garden hose. A digital panel sets the target humidity from 35 to 85 percent in 5 percent steps. The display shows actual room humidity from 30 to 90 percent RH, within 5 percent. Two fan speeds, High and Normal, balance moisture removal against noise. A timer handles automatic start and stop, and low-temperature defrosting protects the coils. The removable, washable filter slides out for cleaning. Wheels and handles make the unit easy to move.

Draining a 120 Pint Dehumidifier With the Built-In Pump

To use the pump, remove the continuous drain hose and screw the plastic cover back onto the rear drain outlet. Push the pump drain hose at least 15 mm into the pump outlet, then lead it to a floor drain or another drainage point. Press the Pump pad, and the pump starts working whenever the bucket fills. The pump can be noisy for three to five minutes when it starts, which is normal. Keep the hose free of kinks, with its end level with or lower than the outlet. Do not pump-drain when the outdoor temperature is at or below 32°F, since ice can block the hose. Empty the bucket once a week while pump draining. If the pump light blinks, unplug the unit, clean the pump filter and check the hose for kinks or blockages. For gravity drainage, remove the rear cover and connect a garden hose with a female threaded end. Place the unit where the room stays between 41 and 95°F, because the coils can frost below that range. The Clean Filter light comes on after 250 hours of operation. Clean the filter, then press the Filter pad to reset the light. Every few weeks, wash the bucket with mild detergent to prevent mold, mildew and bacteria. If the bucket is removed while running, the unit stops, beeps eight times and shows Eb.
