Ideal-Air Dehumidifier 60 Pint AHAM - Up to 120 Pints per Day

Ideal-Air 60 Pint AHAM Dehumidifier — Up to 120 Pints Per Day for Medium-to-Large Rooms

When a standard 30-50 pint consumer dehumidifier can't keep pace, the Ideal-Air 60 Pint AHAM Dehumidifier steps up with serious moisture removal capacity — up to 120 pints of condensation per day under high-temperature, high-humidity grow room conditions. AHAM-rated at 60 pints (80°F, 60% RH) for a standardized performance baseline, it pairs a 7-amp, 680-watt motor and 271 CFM internal airflow with hardware built for continuous, unattended operation.

An internal condensate pump lets you route drainage to a remote drain point rather than requiring a floor drain directly beneath the unit, and the removable washable filter keeps maintenance simple across long runtimes.

Key Features & Benefits

• Up to 120 Pints Per Day: High actual removal capacity under grow room conditions makes this effective where lower-capacity dehumidifiers fall behind.
• 60 Pint AHAM Rating: AHAM-standard capacity rating (80°F, 60% RH) provides an accurate baseline for comparing performance against other units.
• Internal Condensate Pump: Pumps condensate to a remote drain point, expanding installation flexibility beyond units that need a floor drain directly underneath.
• 271 CFM Internal Airflow: High internal airflow across the refrigerant coil maximizes dehumidification capacity.
• Permanent Drainage Option: Plumb for continuous drainage to skip manual reservoir emptying entirely.

Who Should Use This

Suited for medium-to-large grow rooms where standard 30-50 pint consumer units struggle to maintain target humidity. The internal condensate pump and drainage options make it practical for continuous, unattended operation.

Compatibility

115V, 7A, 680W, 271 CFM. AHAM rated at 80°F, 60% RH. Internal condensate pump supports remote drain placement. Removable washable filter. Can be plumbed for permanent drainage. Use with a surge protector on a dedicated circuit as recommended by Ideal-Air.

About Ideal-Air

Ideal-Air, a Hawthorne Gardening Company brand, positions this 60 pint AHAM unit as the step-up option in its dehumidifier lineup — enough capacity and pump flexibility for growers who have outgrown a basic consumer unit but don't yet need Pro Series-level commercial hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this unit say "up to 120 pints" but is AHAM rated at 60 pints?

AHAM ratings use standardized test conditions (80°F, 60% RH) representing moderate operating conditions. Grow rooms typically run warmer and more humid, where dehumidifiers remove more moisture per day — the 120 pint figure reflects performance closer to typical grow room conditions.

What is the difference between this unit and the Ideal-Air Pro Series?

The Pro Series models add a digital display, powder-coated metal casing, and automatic restart after a power loss, and are rated at a different, warmer test condition (86°F, 80% RH) rather than AHAM. This unit uses an LED display and AHAM rating, with a different specification balance — compare the two against your priorities.

How does the internal condensate pump work?

It collects condensate from the reservoir and pumps it through a drain hose to a remote drain point. That lets the unit run continuously without manual tank-emptying or a floor drain positioned directly beneath it.

When should I use a dedicated circuit for this unit?

Use one whenever possible, since the 7-amp draw combined with a surge protector is Ideal-Air's standard recommendation. Running it on a circuit shared with other high-draw equipment risks nuisance tripping and exposes the circuit board to voltage spikes.
