Why Is Dehumidification Essential for Indoor Pools?

The Hidden Threat: Condensation

One of the most common and damaging issues in indoor pools and spas is as water evaporates from the pool or spa, it raises humidity levels in the air. This moisture then settles on cooler surfaces such as windows, walls, and ceilings eventually leading to visible condensation, mould growth, and even structural weakening or failure if left unaddressed.

What Can Excess Humidity Cause?

Uncontrolled moisture and humidity can cause a range of problems in indoor pool environments, including:

• Corrosion of poolside fittings and equipment

• Frequent and costly redecoration

• Damage to plaster, paint, or timber finishes

• Unpleasant, damp, and uncomfortable atmosphere

• Growth of mould, mildew, and bacteria

• Fogging and misting on glass and other surfaces

The Dantherm Solution: Effective and Energy-Efficient Dehumidification

The best way to tackle humidity in indoor pools is with a purpose-built dehumidification system. The Dantherm range of wall and floor mounted dehumidifiers is specifically designed for indoor pool environments, providing effective humidity control and energy recovery.

Operating on the heat pump principle, the Dantherm DH35, DH65, and DH120 models recirculate air within the pool hall - extracting moisture while simultaneously delivering warm, dry air back into the space. This not only helps to maintain a comfortable atmosphere but also reduces condensation and keeps energy costs low by minimising the need for external air extraction.

Save Energy While Staying Comfortable

Dantherm dehumidifiers are engineered to be energy-efficient. By removing moisture from the air, they recover latent heat and use it to warm the air being returned to the pool hall. Thanks to heat pump technology, for every 1kW of power used, up to 2.5kW of heat can be recovered and reused - providing free heating for your indoor pool environment.
