Quest CDG 174 Portable Series Dehumidifier - 176 Pints/Day - 110-120 VAC - 380 CFM - 12,000 BTU - MERV 11 Filter

Portable Humidity Control for Grow Rooms - 176 Pints/Day

Excess moisture in a cultivation space invites mold and mildew and slows drying. The Quest CDG 174 portable dehumidifier pulls moisture out of the air and passes it through a MERV 11 filter. It is rated for 176 pints per day and moves 380 CFM of air.

This unit suits mid-size to large indoor rooms and drying spaces where a small household dehumidifier cannot keep pace. It stands 40 in tall and plugs into a standard 120V outlet, so a grower can place it where it is needed and run it without a hardwired install.
