The Ebac K100P dehumidifier is designed to eliminate high humidity problems in harsh environments. This unit will efficiently remove more than ninety seven pints of airborne water vapor per day and can exceed 21 gallons in extreme conditions. It can operate in the coldest conditions down to 33 degrees due to its Hot Gas Defrost cycle that comes on every hour on the hour to melt any ice build-up in a matter of 3 minutes allowing the compressor to come back on to commence dehumidifying. Its rugged epoxy-coated steel chassis along with its built in condensate pump with 20 feet of vertical lift completes the package.

Summary:
The Ebac K100P is a versatile well built dehumidifier that can be used in both a serious residential application as well as commercial and industrial situations. It is the complete dehumidifier since it includes a built in condensate pump, adjustable humidistat, and detachable mounting skid, while taking out tremendous amounts of moisture in normal conditions of 80 degrees and 60% humidity as well as extreme conditions at temperatures down to 33 degrees. About the only thing we could find fault with was that it does not come with a drainage hose and requires a 3/8 inch inside diameter hose to be connected to the water outlet pipe. However, putting that aside we are confident anyone considering the K100P for large areas and harsh conditions will not be disappointed.
