Ideal-Air 50 Pint Dehumidifier | 80 Pints/Day

Under typical grow room conditions of 86°F and 80% relative humidity, the Ideal-Air 50 Pint removes up to 80 pints of water per day. The "50 Pint" model name reflects the newer AHAM test standard (80°F, 60% RH) — the unit's real-world performance in your grow space is unchanged.

A recent U.S. Department of Energy ruling now requires all dehumidifiers to be rated under AHAM standards (80°F, 60% RH) instead of the higher temperature and humidity levels previously used by the hydroponic industry. The unit itself has not changed — only the conditions under which the rated capacity is measured.

The unit can be plumbed directly to a floor drain for continuous hands-free operation, bypassing the internal reservoir entirely. Optional condensate pumps are also available separately if a gravity drain isn't accessible in your setup.

The unit triggers an automatic shutoff when the 6-liter (12.5-pint) reservoir reaches capacity, preventing overflow. Simply remove the tank, empty it, and reinsert — the unit resumes operation automatically.

Yes. The low speed setting reduces noise and power draw during periods of moderate humidity, while the high speed setting maximizes moisture removal when conditions demand it. For stages where you need to add moisture back into the air, the Ideal-Air Pro Series 600 Pint Humidifier is an excellent high-output companion for total climate control.

Yes. The automatic low-temperature defrost function prevents ice buildup on the coils when operating in cooler conditions, allowing the unit to continue running efficiently without manual intervention.

Yes. The auto-restart function resumes operation at the previous settings after power is restored, making it well-suited for grow environments where unattended overnight or multi-day operation is common.
