Quest Hi-E Dry 195 Portable Dehumidifier — 195 Pints/Day

The Quest Hi-E Dry 195 is specifically designed for portability and flexibility. With dimensions of 20" W x 42" H x 19" L, it can be easily moved between locations to provide targeted moisture control. The plug-and-play design eliminates installation requirements, making it perfect for supplementary dehumidification where you can speed up moisture removal in high-humidity areas, then relocate it to different zones as needed.

The Quest Hi-E Dry 195 features a built-in internal condensate pump that automatically removes collected water from the dehumidification process. This eliminates the need for manual water removal or gravity drainage systems. The pump is controlled by the onboard dehumidistat, ensuring efficient water removal while maintaining optimal humidity levels. This feature is particularly valuable for portable applications where drainage access may be limited.

The Quest Hi-E Dry 195 operates on 115 VAC standard household power but draws 13.1 amps and consumes 1,500 watts. This high amperage draw requires a dedicated circuit with appropriate breaker sizing to handle the electrical load safely. The unit should be connected to a properly rated electrical outlet to ensure safe operation and optimal performance.

The Quest Hi-E Dry 195 uses MERV 11 filtration compared to the MERV 13 systems in Quest's higher-end models. While MERV 11 is slightly lower than MERV 13, it still provides excellent air quality improvement by effectively removing dust, bacteria, and contaminants. The 16" x 20" x 2" pleated media filter (P/N 4021475) balances air quality enhancement with the 610 CFM airflow requirements of the portable design.

The Quest Hi-E Dry 195 excels in several scenarios:

• Emergency backup when primary dehumidification systems need maintenance
• Seasonal moisture control in areas with varying humidity loads
• Temporary installations for construction, remediation, or processing projects
• Multi-zone facilities requiring targeted humidity management
• Rental or temporary facilities where permanent installation isn't feasible

The mobility advantage allows strategic deployment where fixed systems cannot provide adequate coverage.

The Quest Hi-E Dry 195's auto-restart feature automatically saves your current settings and restores them when power is restored after an outage. This ensures continuous operation without manual intervention, which is particularly important for portable applications where the unit might be deployed in locations with limited monitoring. The feature maintains humidity set points, pump settings, and operational parameters.

The Quest Hi-E Dry 195 operates effectively across a wide temperature range from 40°F to 110°F. This broad operating range makes it suitable for various environments and seasonal conditions, from cool storage areas to warm processing facilities. The extended temperature range is particularly valuable for portable applications where the unit may be deployed in different environmental conditions.

The Quest Hi-E Dry 195 includes a comprehensive 5-year warranty with tiered coverage:

• 1st year: 100% coverage of parts and labor
• 2nd-5th years: 100% coverage of parts for sealed refrigerant system

This warranty structure provides maximum protection during the first year when any manufacturing defects would typically appear, then continues to cover the most critical components for the remaining four years. The warranty does not include user error or operator abuse.
