🏊 Room Size & Capacity Recommendations
Recommended Pool Room Volumes
The CDP40T is optimally sized for indoor pool environments with the following characteristics:
| Pool Hall Volume | Suitability | Typical Pool Size |
|---|---|---|
| 30-50 m³ | ✅ Ideal | Small residential pools (3m × 6m) |
| 50-75 m³ | ✅ Recommended | Medium residential pools (4m × 8m) |
| 75-100 m³ | ⚠️ Adequate* | Larger residential installations |
Note: Capacity calculations assume standard indoor pool conditions (28°C air temperature, 60% RH target, 28°C pool water temperature). Actual performance varies based on occupancy levels, ventilation rates, pool water temperature, and seasonal variations.
*For rooms exceeding 75 m³, consider the CDP50T or CDP70T models for optimal performance.
⏱️ Estimated Dehumidification Performance
How Quickly Will It Work?
Understanding real-world performance helps you set realistic expectations. The table below shows estimated time to reduce humidity from high levels (80% RH) to optimal pool conditions (60% RH) in various room sizes:
| Room Volume | Initial RH | Target RH | Estimated Time* | Air Changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 m³ | 80% | 60% | 3-4 hours | 30-40 |
| 50 m³ | 80% | 60% | 4-5 hours | 32-40 |
| 60 m³ | 80% | 60% | 5-6 hours | 33-40 |
| 75 m³ | 80% | 60% | 6-8 hours | 32-43 |
⚠️ Important Disclaimers:
- Estimates based on closed room with no fresh air infiltration

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size pool room is the CDP40T suitable for? The CDP40T is ideally suited for indoor pool rooms between 30-75 m³. This typically covers small to medium residential indoor pools (3m × 6m up to 4m × 8m) with standard ceiling heights (2.5-3m). For larger installations, consider the CDP50T (52 L/day) or CDP70T (69 L/day) models.
Q: How loud is the CDP40T during operation? At just 43 dB(A) measured at 1 metre, the through-wall CDP40T is remarkably quiet – comparable to a whisper or quiet library. The through-wall design further reduces noise in the pool area by locating the unit in an adjacent plant room. Wall-mounted versions measure 46 dB(A).
Q: Can I install this myself or do I need a professional? Professional installation is strongly recommended. Installation requires wall cutting, electrical work (230V), proper duct sealing, condensate drainage setup, and potentially BMS integration. Qualified tradespeople ensure correct installation, compliance with building regulations, and preserve your warranty coverage.
Q: What’s included in the ZZCDP40T kit? The complete kit includes: CDP40T through-wall dehumidifier unit, CDP40T/DUCT through-wall duct kit (inlet/outlet sections, grills, inlet filter), extension pieces for various wall thicknesses, wall mounting brackets, and installation hardware. You’ll need to arrange condensate drainage and electrical supply separately.
Q: Will this work with salt chlorination systems? Yes. The CDP40T is designed for pool environments with either traditional chlorine dosing (1-2 ppm free chlorine) or salt chlorination systems (up to 30,000 ppm NaCl). The epoxy-coated coils and powder-coated metal components resist corrosion from both systems. Always maintain water chemistry within recommended parameters.
Q: How often do I need to clean or replace the filter? Clean monthly by removing the filter from behind the front grille and either washing in warm soapy water or vacuuming thoroughly. Replace when damaged or worn (PPI 15 filter, order no. 094686 available through Dantherm dealers). Regular filter maintenance ensures optimal airflow and system efficiency.
Q: Can I control this remotely or integrate with building management? Yes. The CDP40T features Modbus RTU (RS-485) communication for Building Management System integration, allowing remote monitoring and control. It also includes a USB port for data logging and software updates. Optional wireless remote control (DRC1) available as accessory for standalone applications.
Q: What happens if the unit detects a problem? The CDP40T features comprehensive safety systems. The 4-digit display shows error codes (HP for high pressure, LP for low pressure, SENS for sensor faults). An LED indicator changes colour (red for errors, blue for defrost, yellow for service due) and the optional alarm output can connect to your BMS. The unit automatically shuts down safely if temperatures exceed limits.
Q: Does it provide heating as well as dehumidification? The base CDP40T unit provides 1.62 kW of heat to the air as a byproduct of the dehumidification process (approximately 5°C temperature rise). For additional heating, optional accessories include Low Pressure Hot Water (LPHW) air heating coil or electric heating coil, providing up to 3.32 kW or 2 kW respectively.
Q: How energy-efficient is the CDP40T? Very efficient. With a Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) of 0.47 kWh/litre, the CDP40T removes moisture at low energy cost. Operating 12 hours daily costs approximately £3.24/day (at £0.30/kWh), significantly less than constantly heating fresh air through ventilation alone. The intelligent control system only runs when needed, further reducing energy waste.
Q: What warranty coverage is included? All CDP units come with a two-year warranty: first year covers parts and labour, second year covers parts only. Warranty requires proper installation by qualified professionals, use within specified operating parameters (10-36°C, 40-100% RH), and maintenance of pool water chemistry within recommended ranges.
Q: How do I know if my pool room conditions are suitable? The unit operates in 10-36°C ambient temperature and 40-100% RH humidity. Your pool water should be maintained at appropriate chemical levels: 1-2 ppm free chlorine (for chlorine pools) or <30,000 ppm salt (for salt systems), pH 7.2-7.6, total alkalinity 80-150 ppm, and calcium hardness 250-450 ppm. Poor water chemistry can void your warranty.
✅ Why Effective Dehumidification Matters
Protecting Your Investment
Prevent Structural Damage Excess moisture in indoor pool environments causes condensation on cold surfaces, leading to water damage, wood rot, metal corrosion, and concrete deterioration. The CDP40T maintains optimal humidity levels (typically 55-60% RH), preventing these costly issues before they start.
Maintain Air Quality High humidity creates ideal conditions for mould and mildew growth. By keeping humidity controlled, the CDP40T helps maintain healthy air quality, reducing allergens and preventing musty odours.
Enhance Comfort Properly controlled humidity makes the pool environment more comfortable for swimmers. Too humid feels sticky and oppressive; the CDP40T maintains the perfect balance for enjoyable swimming conditions.
Protect Pool Equipment Pool pumps, heaters, controllers, and lighting systems all suffer accelerated deterioration in high-humidity environments. Controlled humidity extends equipment lifespan and reduces replacement costs.
Preserve Furnishings Poolside furniture, window treatments, decorative elements, and even electronic equipment like TVs and sound systems last longer in properly dehumidified spaces.
Energy Efficiency Controlling humidity through dehumidification is far more energy-efficient than attempting to ventilate away moisture with heated outdoor air. The CDP40T recycles heat from the dehumidification process, contributing to space heating.
🏗️ Optional Accessories & Upgrades
Enhance your CDP40T system with professional accessories:
Wireless Remote Control (DRC1) Control your dehumidifier from anywhere in the pool area. Bluetooth connectivity, battery-powered, no additional wiring required.
Floor Mounting Kit Alternative installation option for situations where through-wall or wall mounting isn’t practical.
Low Pressure Hot Water (LPHW) Air Heating Coil Adds 3.32 kW of space heating integrated into the airflow. Total heat output: 4 kW. Requires boiler connection (12mm, 4.2 L/min flow rate). Ideal for maintaining comfortable temperatures during winter operation.
Control Valve for LPHW Air Heating Coil Automatic temperature control for LPHW heating option.
Electric Heating Coil Adds 2 kW of electric space heating. Total heat output: 2.66 kW. No boiler required – direct 230V connection. Perfect for smaller spaces or where water heating isn’t available.
Through-Wall Duct Kit Extensions Accommodate various wall thicknesses with additional extension sections.
Duct Lead-In Adapter Connect to existing ductwork for custom air distribution solutions.
External RH/T Sensor Monitor and control humidity from a remote location. Overrides internal sensors for precise control of specific zones.
