Tamper-Proof Dehumidification to Remove Moisture

Dealing with concerns centered around excess moisture and high humidity is a problem all property owners, maintenance supervisors, developers, and general contractors want to avoid!

Appliances are susceptible to a common flaw

USER ERROR

The IW25 In Wall/ On Wall dehumidifier was designed to solve issues with “user error,” with its unique “lockout” control system. Whole House dehumidifiers that put the control and performance in the hands of the tenants, they are generally operated by a digital humidistat mounted on the wall (in plain sight).

Control for Owners* Only

*and authorized personnel

The IW25’s digital dehumidifier controls and humidistat are located inside the unit, concealed behind the front cover that locks out occupants from changing the settings or turning the dehumidifier off. The front cover is secured with tamper-resistant screws, limiting access to digital controls.

Property owners, authorized maintenance departments, or property management companies are given a specialized tool (included with the purchase of every IW25 dehumidifier) that allows them to easily remove the front cover and adjust the controls.

It’s that simple.

Occupant Behavior is one of the top reasons that Dehumidification solutions do not work as effectively as they could and using the “House As A System” (HAAS) approach can cause a home to be unbalanced. Innovative Dehumidifiers specifically addressed the issue of Occupant Behavior with the creation of the IW25 Dehumidifier.

“The HAAS approach to home energy retrofits considers the intended or unintended effects that changing one component can have on other components, in terms of energy performance, moisture levels, air quality, occupant comfort, safety, and home durability.”¹

The Control is Back in Your Hands!

Designed to resolve moisture-related issues caused by occupant behavior, the IW25-4 supplemental dehumidifier’s controls are hidden behind the tamperproof cover, making adjustments inaccessible to occupants.

The ENERGY STAR® certified IW25-4 IN Wall / ON Wall Dehumidifier removes moisture to help reduce the risks associated with high humidity. Specifically designed to lower indoor relative humidity in apartments and smaller spaces.

Supplemental dehumidification is no longer a luxury but a necessity to aid in moisture removal.
