Fral FDK54 Dehumidifier

Reduce and control humidity levels in large areas with the compact and quiet commercial-grade Fral FDK54 Dehumidifier. This high-efficiency commercial-grade dehumidifier provides professional performance for residential use. Ideal for removing excess moisture in basements, crawlspaces, cellars, and garages with its large 2,500 square foot (or 10,000 cubic feet) coverage area. The FDK54 basement and garage dehumidifier either can be a fixed standalone unit or ducted to dehumidify many rooms at once. Fral products are made in Italy and are based right here in the USA. This includes a complete technical service team and fulfillment facility ready to meet your needs. "It is the goal of Fral-USA to provide the highest quality products and customer service in the industry."

The Fral FDK54 features convenient Continuous Drainage fittings. These fittings allow you to drain your Fral dehumidifier through a garden hose directly to a specific location. Continuous Drainage also eliminates the need for a water tank inside the dehumidifier. Without an internal water tank there is also no limit on the amount of water/moisture you can drain. Best of all, it means the unit does not require manual emptying. With no manual emptying you never need carry or empty a water bucket. Your garage dehumidifier will continuously drain on its own. This benefit is essential if you need to place your dehumidifier in hard-to-reach locations. Low crawl spaces or tight areas make carrying a heavy water bucket very difficult or sometimes impossible. Overall, continuous drainage provides more streamlined performance and hassle-free operation.

The commercial-grade Fral FDK54 Dehumidifier also features Low Temperature Operation. This means your dehumidifier can operate down to temperatures as low as 33°F and as high as 90°F. As a result, the unit will run continuously and efficiently in a variety of low-temperature climates without interruption.

When frost builds up within dehumidifiers it often limits their effectiveness and stops moisture removal altogether until it's melted. With the Automatic Hot Gas Defrost function, frost is automatically melted periodically during operation. This allows the compressor to resume normal operation faster and more efficiently.

The included Digital Humidistat automatically detects current moisture content within the air. This is important because it helps to better regulate your set humidity levels. Easy to read plus (+) and minus (-) buttons let you set your desired humidity levels between 30% and 80%.

An easy to read Digital Display is conveniently located at the top and front of the unit for easy access and visibility. Operating the display is simple and straightforward and allows you to control the humidistat, alarm, and defrost cycles.

The FDK54 basement dehumidifier features a droplet symbol on the display panel. This represents the Compressor. This symbol lights up when the compressor is running and flashes when the compressor is in defrost mode. The droplet symbol will completely dim when set humidity levels have been reached and the compressor disengages.

An included high-efficiency Polyurethane Air Filter helps regulate and control airborne particles that flow through the dehumidifier. This air filter is also hand-washable and reusable, eliminating the need for replacements and also helping to save you on replacement filter costs!

The Fral's Compact Size and Durable Construction with dual top-sided handles makes it ideal in a variety of spaces. Its sturdy powder-coated frame means long lasting performance in tough environments. Moreover, its compact size allows it to fit easily in those tight, hard-to-reach locations and low crawl spaces.

Maintaining Healthy Humidity Levels is an integral part of home life. This can benefit our health and our homes in many ways. For instance, comfortable humidity levels promote a more comfortable living environment. Less humidity allows higher temperatures to feel more pleasant and agreeable. In addition, when humidity levels are regulated, it helps inhibit the growth of mold and mildew. This prevents and protects your fabrics, furniture, flooring, and other areas of your home from damage. If humidity is properly controlled, then mold is less likely to grow. And is less likely to cause adverse health effects and unwanted odors and smells.

Dehumidifiers are also a useful and often vital tool when it comes to growing your indoor plants. Whether you have a grow room, greenhouse, or nursery, a dehumidifier can help you get the most out of your plants. Important features to look for when purchasing a dehumidifier for this purpose are automatic humidity controls, energy-efficient operation, ducting options, and continuous drainage. Also, be sure to choose the right size dehumidifier for your space and the number of plants you're planning to grow.
