NOTE - THE 1720 Dehumidifier has been replaced by the model 1770
Excess humidity in the air can cause basements to be smelly, musty and noticeably damp. Nobody wants to go there, play there, be there. Excess humidity can damage basement furniture and furnishings, cause wood to swell and fabric to rot. Stored items grow mildew and wall paneling peels. High basement humidity can lead to health threatening conditions too. Any basement with relative humidity regularly above 60% can become the perfect breeding ground for a variety of pathogens like mold, mildew and fungi.
Common portable dehumidifiers are a weak answer - they don't perform well in cooler basement environments and you typically need more than one to treat your entire basement.
The solution - A dehumidifier designed exclusively for basement use - the Aprilaire 1720 High Capacity Dehumidifier. More than your standard portable unit, the Model 1720 High Capacity Dehumidifier is in a different class altogether. It provides 100% more capacity, and 300% more efficient operation than the leading portable dehumidifier.
The Aprilaire Model 1720 Whole-House Dehumidifier works throughout your entire home. It's Energy StarŽ rated, removing 50% more water per kilowatt hour than leading portable dehumidifiers. The Model 1720 also features truly automatic control, so there's never a need to manually control the dehumidifier-just set it once and forget it!
The Aprilaire Models 1700 and 1720 Whole-House Dehumidifiers offer total comfort from the sticky, sweaty, and potentially unhealthy conditions caused by excess moisture. The 1700 and 1720 models differ only in capacity-with the 1720 with total removal capacity of up to 150 pints per day.
The Best Choice for healthy, comfortable air is the Model 1720 Whole-House Dehumidifier installed in your new or existing heating and cooling system. The benefits and results speak for themselves:
