Dehumidifier options for indoor swimming pools

Programs and options are elements that can help make the right decision, provided that these options provide a "plus" in terms of comfort, use or that they meet the requirements defined during the thermal assessment.

The device equipped with a hygrostat allows you to select the level of relative humidity in the aquatic room. When the dehumidifier has reached the set value, it will automatically stop. This feature allows financial savings and extends the life of the device.

The integrated hygrometer measures the humidity level of the ambient air in the swimming pool hall. This is a valuable aid in adjusting the humidity extraction level as accurately as possible.

Automatic shutdown is present in the majority of swimming pool dehumidifiers. It may concern devices that have a tank. In fact, the dehumidifier stops when the condensate tank needs to be emptied. But it will also stop its operation when the set humidity level is reached.

Under certain conditions, frost can attach to various elements of the machine and cause damage or malfunctions. The automatic defrost function allows this situation to be remedied without "human" intervention.

Certain models offer an air and/or water heating option.

What other selection criteria should you not neglect when purchasing a swimming pool dehumidifier?

Energy consumption. Some devices use more energy than others. With equal or similar skills, it is better to choose the one that consumes the least electricity.

The quality of the device is essential and must be taken into account when making the final choice. The console must be perfectly compatible with the rather aggressive environment that is the swimming pool room. Very often, only the exterior part of the hull is treated against corrosion. But for certain models, the interior face is also, which gives them greater resistance. The quality and solidity of the dehumidifier is linked to the materials used for its various key operating components. Quality necessarily has an impact on the purchase price. A price that is too attractive often hides a product of lower quality that is likely to break down more easily.

After-sales service and brand awareness are assets that secure the purchase. The reputation of a brand makes it possible, if necessary, to easily find a spare part in the event of a breakdown, and to have quality products often at the cutting edge of the latest innovations. The warranty may have a longer or shorter duration. It can be partial or unconditional. It may be requested that the installation of the device be carried out by a professional to guarantee after-sales service.

Aesthetics. The room dehumidifier is installed in the pool room. It is often white in color, but some manufacturers make it a device with a very contemporary design: the front is made of black glass, for example. The dehumidifier becomes decorative and shows off. The built-in and ducted dehumidifiers are installed in a neighboring room, only extraction and blower grilles are present and visible in the swimming pool room. However, these last 2 models are more expensive.
