- Uses environmentally-friendly R407C refrigerant
How the CDP40 Works 🔄
The CDP40 uses proven condensation technology specifically optimized for pool environments:
- Air Intake: Humid air from your pool room is drawn into the unit by a powerful yet efficient EC motor fan
- Cooling & Condensation: Air passes through the cold evaporator coil, dropping below dew point. Water vapour condenses into liquid water
- Water Removal: Condensed water drains continuously via the 3/4″ drain connection
- Air Reheating: The now-dry air passes through the hot condenser coil, warming it by approximately 5°C
- Return to Pool Room: Warm, dry air is returned to the pool room, creating a comfortable, controlled environment
The Result: Your pool room maintains optimal humidity levels (typically 50-60% RH) without the cold, damp feeling or condensation problems that plague uncontrolled environments.

Frequently Asked Questions ❓
How much electricity does the CDP40 use?
The CDP40 consumes a maximum of 0.9kW (900 watts) when running. With typical usage of 8 hours per day, expect annual electricity costs between £650-800 depending on your electricity rate and usage patterns. Its efficient 0.47 kWh/L SEC rating means it’s one of the most economical dehumidifiers available for pool applications.
How loud is the CDP40?
Very quiet! At just 46dB(A) measured at 1 metre distance, it’s quieter than normal conversation (60dB) and significantly quieter than most dehumidifiers. The through-wall CDP40T model is even quieter at 42dB(A) since it’s mounted partially outside the pool room.
Can I install this myself?
While mechanically capable individuals can handle the wall mounting, we strongly recommend professional installation. The unit requires proper electrical connection by a qualified electrician, appropriate drainage installation, and correct positioning to ensure optimal performance and warranty compliance. Incorrect water chemistry or installation voids the warranty.
What size pool room will the CDP40 handle?
The CDP40 is ideal for pool rooms up to approximately 25-30m² surface area (100-150m³ volume) with typical residential usage. For larger pools, commercial facilities, or pools with very heavy use, consider the CDP50 (52L/day) or CDP70 (69L/day) models.
How often does the drain need emptying?
Never! The CDP40 uses continuous gravity drainage through the 3/4″ drain connection. It should be plumbed directly into your waste water system. There’s no tank to empty – the unit operates 24/7 unattended.
Will it work in cold weather?
Yes. The CDP40 operates effectively in temperatures from 10-36°C. Below 10°C, the intelligent defrost system activates more frequently to prevent ice buildup. If your pool room regularly drops below 10°C, additional heating may be required for optimal comfort and performance.
What’s the difference between CDP40 and CDP40T?
The CDP40 is wall-mounted with air intake and discharge on the front. The CDP40T is a “through-wall” model that mounts partially through the wall, with air intake on one side and discharge on the other. The CDP40T is slightly quieter (42dB vs 46dB) and better for installations where you want the unit partially concealed or where noise is a particular concern.
Does it need annual servicing?
Yes. Annual service ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and longevity. The service includes filter cleaning/replacement, coil inspection and cleaning, checking refrigerant levels, and verifying all safety systems. Many insurance policies require annual service for pool room equipment.
Why is water chemistry so important?
Indoor pool dehumidifiers work in harsh environments with chlorine, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Poor water chemistry creates corrosive chloramine gas that rapidly damages electronic components, coils, and metal parts. Maintaining correct chemistry (as specified above) is essential for equipment longevity and warranty validity.
Can I control it remotely or via smart home?
The CDP40 features Modbus RTU (RS-485) connectivity for integration with Building Management Systems. An optional wireless remote control (DRC1) is available. While it doesn’t have native smart home integration, the Modbus interface can connect to compatible automation systems.
What warranty is included?
The CDP40 includes a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty (first year parts and labour, second year parts only) subject to proper installation and water chemistry maintenance. Extended warranty options may be available through your supplier.
How do I know if my pool room needs a dehumidifier?
Signs you need a dehumidifier include: condensation on windows or walls, damp or musty smell, mould or mildew growth, rusting of metal fixtures, peeling paint, uncomfortable “sticky” feeling in the air, or consistently high humidity readings (above 65% RH). An indoor pool room without dehumidification will always have these problems.
