In order to remain functional, comfortable, and safe, swimming pool areas must be equipped with high-quality, reliable dehumidification systems. As with any complex system, pool room dehumidification equipment requires regular maintenance and, periodically, replacement. Determining whether replacement is the appropriate action, however, can be daunting or confusing, as diagnosing problems is often a complex process […]
What to Know When Selecting your Replacement Dehumidifier
Although dehumidifiers are built to endure harsh environments, the average lifespan of a dehumidifier used for industrial and institutional applications is nine to eleven years. It is typically more expensive to keep an aging unit instead of simply replacing the dehumidifier altogether. At Dehumidifier Corporation of America, we can easily replace an obsolete dehumidifier. With […]
The Growing Popularity of Urban Farms: Why People are Choosing Vertical Farming
Vertical farming is an agricultural method in which crops such as leafy greens and herbs are farmed indoors within climate-controlled environments. As the process becomes more efficient and economically viable, these urban farms are becoming more prevalent across the United States. By controlling important environmental factors indoors, growers are able to cultivate better-quality crops at […]
Air Cooled Vs. Water Cooled Dehumidifiers
Whether using dehumidification for industrial, commercial, residential, or swimming pool applications, customers must determine, if applicable, which of the two typical cooling system options will be the best fit for their application — air cooled or water cooled. Air cooled dehumidifiers, for indoor pool room dehumidification and other projects, are the most common type and deliver […]
The Advantage of Swimming Pool Dehumidification Systems
Humidity is a major concern for all indoor swimming pool owners. Air-to-air heat exchangers and ventilation systems were commonly used to control pool room humidity. These methods are expensive to operate and wasteful, in that they constantly exhaust previously heated or cooled air outdoors. They also often fail to prevent structural damage caused by excess […]
When to Repair or Replace Your Dehumidifier
Hotel, motel, and residential indoor pool rooms are just a few scenarios where you can find dehumidification systems controlling the relative humidity. An unexpected failure of a dehumidification system in these facilities can have some considerable negative impacts. A malfunctioning dehumidification system can cause mold and mildew build up quickly. This can lead to musty […]

Prevent Equipment Corrosion in Water Treatment Facilities
Dehumidification plays a key role in the housekeeping maintenance of waste and fresh water treatment facilities. Metal surfaces such as holding, treatment and filtration tanks, pipes and pump room equipment are exposed to cold water that often brings their surface temperature below the room’s dew point temperature. When this happens, moisture forms on these surfaces […]
