🏊 Pool Size Suitability Guide
The CDP70T system is designed for larger indoor pool installations. Use this guide to determine suitability:
| Pool Surface Area | Pool Volume (Typical) | CDP70T Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40-50 m² | 60-75 m³ | ✅ Excellent | Ideal for heavy use pools |
| 50-65 m² | 75-100 m³ | ✅ Excellent | Optimal capacity match |
| 65-80 m² | 100-120 m³ | ✅ Good | Suitable with pool cover |
| 80-100 m² | 120-150 m³ | ⚠️ Consider Multiple Units | May need supplementary dehumidification during peak use |
Important Factors Affecting Performance:
- Pool water temperature (higher = more evaporation)
- Air temperature differential
- Bather load (more swimmers = more humidity)
- Use of pool covers when not in use
- Pool hall ventilation rates
- Water features (fountains, slides increase evaporation)
💡 Pro Tip: For pools at the upper end of the range, consider installing two smaller units rather than one large unit. This provides redundancy and allows one unit to handle baseload while the second activates during peak use.
💰 Real-World Performance & Running Costs
Estimated Operating Costs
Based on typical pool hall conditions (28°C, 60% RH) and UK average electricity rates:
| Operating Scenario | Daily Runtime | Daily Cost* | Monthly Cost* | Annual Cost* |
|---|---|---|---|---|

*Calculated at 1.8kW consumption × £0.25/kWh (2024 average rate). Actual costs vary by supplier and usage patterns.
Energy Efficiency Advantages
Heat Recovery Benefits:
- Every litre of water condensed releases approximately 0.7kWh of heat
- At 69L/day capacity, that’s 48kWh of recovered heat daily
- This recovered heat warms the pool hall air, reducing supplementary heating requirements
- Coefficient of Performance (COP): Approximately 1.8 (delivers 1.8kW heating per 1kW consumed)
Humidity Removal Performance
Typical Daily Conditions:
| Pool Hall Condition | Moisture Removal Rate | Time to Stabilize* |
|---|---|---|
| After Overnight (High humidity) | 2.8 L/hour | 2-3 hours |
| Normal Operation (60-65% RH) | 1.5-2.0 L/hour | Continuous cycling |
| Heavy Bather Load (65-75% RH) | 2.5-2.8 L/hour | 4-6 hours recovery |
| Pool Cover Removed (Spike in humidity) | 2.8 L/hour (max) | 1-2 hours |
*Times are estimates based on 70m² pool, 28°C water, 60% target RH. Actual times vary by specific conditions.

🔧 Installation Considerations
Professional Installation Required
⚠️ This is a professional-grade system requiring qualified installation. Key requirements:
Electrical Installation:
- Must be performed by qualified electrician
- 230V single-phase supply with dedicated circuit
- 20 Amp motor-rated fuse or MCB
- RCD protection recommended
- All wiring must comply with current IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671)
Through-Wall Installation:
- Wall penetration: 1,095mm width × 395mm height
- Structural support for 77.5kg unit load
- Wall thickness accommodation up to 400mm with extensions
- Proper sealing and weatherproofing of wall penetration
- Condensate drainage with minimum 2% fall to drain point
Location Requirements:
- Install in heated adjacent room (plant room or similar)
- Minimum clearances: 225mm top and bottom for airflow
- Access required for filter maintenance and service
- Condensate drain connection within 2 metres
- Level mounting critical for proper condensate drainage
Chemical Requirements for Pool Water
⚠️ Critical for Warranty: Pool water chemistry must be maintained within these limits:
| Parameter | Acceptable Range |
|---|---|
| Free Chlorine | 1.0 – 2.0 ppm |
| Combined Chlorine | Max 1/3 of free chlorine |
| pH Level | 7.2 – 7.6 |
| Total Alkalinity | 80 – 150 ppm |
| Calcium Hardness | 250 – 450 ppm |
| Total Dissolved Solids | < 2,000 ppm (chemical dosing) / < 5,500 ppm (salt systems) |
| Sulphates | < 360 ppm |
| Salt (NaCl) | < 30,000 ppm (for salt systems only) |
💡 Use the Langelier Saturation Index to ensure proper water balance. Poor water chemistry will void warranty and significantly shorten equipment life.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the CDP70T take to bring high humidity under control?
A: Starting from high humidity conditions (e.g., 75% RH after a pool cover is removed), the CDP70T typically reduces humidity to the 60% setpoint within 2-4 hours in a 70m² pool hall. The exact time depends on ambient temperature, pool water temperature, and air circulation. The unit removes 2.8 litres of moisture per hour at peak capacity.
Q: Is the CDP70T suitable for my residential pool?
A: The CDP70T is ideal for larger residential pools with surface areas between 50-80m². For smaller pools (under 50m²), consider the CDP50T model. For pools over 80m², you may need multiple units or should consult with a pool environmental specialist to assess your specific requirements.
Q: How noisy is the through-wall installation?
A: When installed through-wall (as designed), the CDP70T operates at just 47 dB(A) at 1 metre distance – equivalent to a quiet library or gentle rainfall. Most of the mechanical noise remains in the plant room, making this configuration ideal for maintaining a peaceful pool environment.
Q: Can I install this myself to save money?
A: We strongly advise against DIY installation. The CDP70T requires professional electrical installation by a qualified electrician, precise wall penetration and structural support, proper refrigerant handling, and correct plumbing for condensate drainage. Improper installation can void warranty, create safety hazards, and result in poor performance. Budget £500-£1,200 for professional installation depending on your specific requirements and site conditions.
Q: What happens if pool water chemistry is not maintained correctly?
A: Poor water chemistry (particularly chlorine levels outside 1.0-2.0 ppm or incorrect pH) produces corrosive chlorine gases that will rapidly degrade the unit’s internal components, even with epoxy-coated coils. This damage is not covered under warranty. Maintaining proper pool chemistry is essential for equipment longevity and is a warranty requirement.
Q: Does the unit need to run continuously?
A: No. The CDP70T features intelligent operation with hourly humidity checks. When humidity is below your setpoint, the unit enters standby mode and only samples air every hour. When dehumidification is needed, it operates automatically then cycles off when humidity is controlled. Most pools require 8-12 hours of operation daily, varying by season and use patterns.
Q: What’s the difference between through-wall and wall-mounted models?
A: Through-wall models (like the CDP70T) are installed with the unit in an adjacent plant room, ducting air to/from the pool hall through the wall. This keeps noise and heat in the plant room. Wall-mounted models sit entirely within the pool hall. Through-wall is preferred for new construction and offers quieter operation; wall-mounted suits retrofit situations where through-wall isn’t feasible.
Q: How do I connect this to my Building Management System?
A: The CDP70T features Modbus RTU (RS-485) communication built-in. You’ll need to configure the unit’s Modbus Slave ID (default is 1, adjustable 1-255), then connect via the RS485 terminal block on the main control board. A complete register map is available from Dantherm support. The system can report operational status, alarms, temperature, humidity, and accept remote control commands.
Q: What’s included in the warranty?
A: Dantherm provides a 2-year warranty: first year covers parts and labour; second year covers parts only. Warranty requires installation by a qualified technician, proper commissioning, pool water chemistry maintained within specification, and annual professional servicing. Keep all service records to maintain warranty validity.
Q: Can I use this in a salt water pool?
A: Yes, the CDP70T is compatible with salt chlorination systems provided total dissolved solids remain below 5,500 ppm and salt concentration stays below 30,000 ppm. All other water chemistry parameters must still be maintained. Salt systems can be more corrosive, so regular inspection and maintenance become even more critical.
Q: What size pool cover should I use with this system?
A: Any quality floating pool cover compatible with your pool design will work well. Bubble covers are popular for smaller pools; automated slatted covers suit larger facilities. Using a cover when the pool is not in use can reduce dehumidification requirements by 70-80%, significantly lowering energy costs and extending equipment life. The CDP70T will maintain humidity whether you use a cover or not, but covers improve efficiency.
Q: How often should the air filter be cleaned?
A: Under normal conditions, clean the filter monthly. In high-use facilities, dusty environments, or if you notice reduced airflow, clean every 2-3 weeks. The filter is washable and reusable. Replace only when damaged (Part No: 094686). A clogged filter reduces efficiency and can trigger high-pressure alarms.
