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

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

The Ideal-Air 60 Pint AHAM Dehumidifier delivers serious moisture removal capacity with up to 120 pints of condensation removal per day under high-temperature, high-humidity grow room conditions. AHAM-rated at 60 pints (80 degrees F, 60% relative humidity), it provides a reliable performance baseline for comparison, while the 7-amp, 680-watt motor and 271 CFM internal airflow give it the power to handle demanding grow room humidity loads. The internal condensate pump, permanent drainage plumbing option, removable washable filter, and mobile design with handles and wheels make it practical for continuous unattended operation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Up to 120 Pints per Day: High actual removal capacity under grow room conditions (high temperature and humidity) makes this unit effective for larger spaces where lower-capacity dehumidifiers struggle to keep pace.
• 60 Pint AHAM Rating: AHAM-standard capacity rating (80 degrees F, 60% RH) provides an accurate, standardized baseline for performance comparison between units.
• Internal Condensate Pump: Built-in pump allows remote drain placement, expanding installation location flexibility beyond units that require a floor drain directly beneath them.
• 271 CFM Internal Airflow: High internal airflow rate ensures efficient moisture removal from the air passing through the refrigerant coil for maximized dehumidification capacity.
• 7A / 680W Power: Robust electrical capacity supports the compressor and fan demands required for continuous high-capacity dehumidification.
• Permanent Drainage Plumbing Option: Can be plumbed for continuous drainage to eliminate manual reservoir emptying during continuous operation.

Who Should Use This

Suited for medium-to-large grow rooms where standard 30-50 pint consumer dehumidifiers fall short of maintaining target humidity levels. The internal condensate pump and drainage options make it practical for continuous, unattended grow room operation.

Compatibility

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

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 (80F, 60% RH) that represent moderate operating conditions. Grow rooms typically run at higher temperatures and humidity levels where dehumidifiers remove more moisture per day - the 120 pint figure reflects performance under more demanding conditions closer to typical grow room environments.

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

The Pro Series models feature a digital display, powder-coated metal casing, and automatic restart after power loss. This unit features an LED display panel and is designed for grow room and indoor garden use, but with different specification priorities. Compare specifications to determine which better matches your needs.

How does the internal condensate pump work?

The internal pump collects condensate from the reservoir and pumps it through a drain hose to a remote drain point, allowing the unit to operate continuously without manually emptying the tank or requiring a floor drain directly beneath the unit.

Does this unit need a dedicated circuit?

Yes - at 7 amps, Ideal-Air recommends a dedicated circuit with a surge protector. Avoid running the dehumidifier on circuits shared with high-draw equipment to prevent nuisance tripping and to protect the circuit board from voltage spikes.
