- Monitoring and job-management features.
Why saturation PPD can mislead
Saturation figures are measured under hotter, wetter conditions than many real jobs. AHAM conditions are a better standard point for comparing machines across a shortlist.
When package design matters more
A restoration purchase is rarely only a dehumidifier decision. Air movers and filtration capacity determine how many drying positions and work zones the package can support.
