Pool Water Chemistry

Pool chemistry must be maintained to ensure the proper pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and

free chlorine, NSPI recommends the following levels for pool chemistry:

• pH:

7.4 – 7.6

• Total Alkalinity:

100 – 150 ppm

• Calcium Hardness:

200 – 250 ppm (Plaster Pool)

• Free Chlorine:

1.0 – 3.0 ppm

Excessive chemical levels in the pool can be dangerous to users and can damage pool hardware,

including the dehumidification system. The Desert Aire warranty does not cover equipment damaged

by faulty pool chemistry.

Recommended Controller Setting

5.4.1 Controller Set Points

It is important to determine your comfortable set points and to avoid further controller

adjustments. It takes time for the unit to establish equilibrium at a given set point.

Therefore, continued set point adjustments will lead to high energy consumption and user

discomfort. Continuous blower operation is recommended. This will reduce air stratification

and assure that the refrigeration circuit is activated only when it is necessary.

RECOMMENDED SET POINTS:

• Humidity: 50% to 60 % RH

• Air Temperature: 2° to 4° F above the pool water temperature

Never disable a dehumidifier in a pool room application unless the pool has been
drained. Even when not in use, pool water continues to evaporate adding moisture
to the air. During these periods of high humidity, moisture will seep into walls,
ceilings, furniture, etc. Although the dehumidifier may be capable of regaining
control of pool room conditions after re-start, in the long run, moisture damage to
the pool room will become apparent.

5.5

System Operating Modes

The standard sequence of operation of a Desert Aire dehumidifier is relatively simple to understand.

Note that the sequence may vary depending on which condenser options have been purchased and

installed.

5.5.1 Basic Sequence

The compressor is designed to start on a call for cooling or dehumidification. As the

refrigerant flows through the evaporators, it absorbs a great deal of heat from the airstream.

This heat can either be rejected to the air, the pool, or to a remote condenser, depending on
