July 14, 2008

Vital Technologies, Inc.'s DryMAX is a ductless-split style dehumidifier. Paired with it's air-cooled condensing unit, it provides and prioritizes dehumidification in heating, cooling and neutral air modes. Both indoor and condensing units are supplied with coated coils and rugged construction suitable for corrosive environments such as indoor pools and seacoast atmospheres.

DryMAX Systems are used in new and retrofit applications for control of humidity due to strong sources. The 2.5 ton system can remove up to 14 lbs. of water per hour, ideal for indoor swim spas, smaller hydrotherapy pools and hot tubs. Multiple units may be used to provide control in larger residential and hotel/motel pools where installation of a traditional unit would not be possible or cost effective.

Powder coated cabinetry, dual deflection supply register and stainless drain pan are standard.Systems are provided pre-charged with quick-connect linesets and pre-programmed combination thermostat/humidistat.

For Contractors, installation comes down to a few easy steps: hang the indoor unit on the wall: mount the outdoor condensing unit on a pad, sleepers or bracket; install the 2-line set using quick connect fittings; mount the thermostat; and make control and electrical connections. Refrigerant and electrical connections are accessed through a single panel.

The TThermostat/humidistat has been preprogrammed at the factory. A filter grille at the intake provides ready access for regular filter maintenance.

According to the company, the contractor can install the system in less than one day with standard tools and a minimum of training. "In DryMAX we have made every effort to simplify the installation process, offering a new solution to challenging humidity control problems," said the company.
