It has the potential to remove up to 56 pints per day of moisture in normal environments including up to 15 gallons of moisture in extreme conditions. Its built in Hot Gas Defrost that occurs hourly to melt the ice build-up allows it to continue to remove moisture from the air in the coldest of conditions down to 33 degrees.

Summary:

The CS60 is a tough, no-nonsense dehumidifier that will get the get the job done under harsh and extreme conditions. This self-sufficient unit will perform its duty quickly and efficiently without any complicated operation or maintenance. The CS60 can be great for permanent installation in crawl spaces, remote pump stations and mechanical equipment areas or can easily be transported between jobs sites with moisture issues. We like its compact dimensions that go with its powerful output making it the right choice in a wide range of applications like offices, laboratories, apartments, storage areas, restaurants, bars, museums, locker rooms, computer rooms, telecommunication rooms and basements. For water removal, there is a gravity drain hook up (with hose included) or the option to set up a condensate pump. Ebac’s dehumidifiers are ideal for stopping the growth of mold and mildew and drying out areas so they are comfortable once again and this is why we rate it a favorite for basements and crawl spaces.
