Innovative Dehumidifiers WH85 Whole House Dehumidifier - in15465
The Innovative WH85 Professional Series Whole House Dehumidifier removes up to 85 pints of moisture per day at AHAM (80 degrees F, 60% RH) conditions on spaces up to 1,900 square feet (or 15,000 cubic feet). With easy installation and user-friendly features, this whole home dehumidifier packs a lot of performance in a small package.
Fast and Easy Installation
Because the WH85 Professional Series Innovative Dehumidifier can be plugged into a dedicated 15-amp GFCI-protected circuit, setting it up is truly simple. This whole-house dehumidifier can also be hard-wired if desired.
This Innovative Dehumidifier system has a simple control panel for powering the dehumidifier on, setting the desired humidity level, and selecting the operating mode. Once the humidity setpoint is determined, the WH85 will work to maintain the desired level.Â
To quickly remove accumulated moisture or reduce high humidity, you can set the humidity level below 36 percent RH and allow this whole-house dehumidifier to run continually until your space is comfortable and dry. Then, set the RH above 36 percent to the preferred maintenance level, and the dehumidifier will switch back to normal operation.
