DR90A1000 Dehumidifier (replaces model DH90A1007)

In any season, excess humidity in your home can make for an uncomfortable indoor environment. Dampness, stickiness and odors are just a few of the many symptoms associated with air that has too much moisture. Honeywell has a solution with the DR90 Whole-house Dehumidifier. Unlike portable, single-room units, a Whole-house Dehumidifier is installed in your home's central heating and cooling system, and works to eliminate excess moisture in all rooms throughout your home. Plus, Honeywell's DR90 Dehumidifier features an integrated ventilation control that introduces fresh, filtered air into your home .

The DR90 removes a large amount of moisture from the air and the device must be connected to a drain line that will carry away the excess water. A trap in the drain line is recommended and may be required by some local codes.

The drain line should be connected to the 3/4" male pipe thread adaptor on the front of the DR90. Care should be taken to install the drain line with a continuous slope of 1" per 10' to assure proper water removal.

FAQ's:
How does the DR90 Dehumidifier filter the air?
The DR90 comes equipped with a high efficiency MERV 11 filter. Outside air and supplied air from the house are filtered as the air travels through the dehumidifier. An efficiency rating of MERV 11 means the filter will remove 85% of large particles such as pollens, mold spores, and indoor allergens that pass through the filter.
What is the energy usage of the DH90 Dehumidifier?
The DR90 uses 6.2 amps of electricity (120V) making it 33%* more energy efficient than equivalent competitor brands.
What are the duct sizes of the different ports?
The unit is provided with 6" (fresh air) and 10" (indoor air) inlet collars. The processed air exits the unit via a 10" round duct.
How is water drained from the unit?
The DR90 has 3/4" female nominal pipe thread to which an adapter for PVC pipe can be attached and the condensate gravity-drained from the unit.
How is the unit powered?
115 volt with ground from a 15 amp circuit. The unit is powered through a factory installed 7.5' power cord.
How is the unit insulated?
The unit has internal 3/4" expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation to prevent exterior condensation.
What is the MERV rating of the filter? How often should it be changed?
The Honeywell DR90 Dehumidifier uses a MERV 11 filter and should be changed every 6 months.
How does the Honeywell DR90 Dehumidifier know when to dehumidify?
The DR90 does not come with a dehumidistat control - but can be used with multiple optional controls - including the Prestige Comfort System, True IAQ System, H8908 Manual Dehumidistat, or VisionPro IAQ Control
Does the ventilation port have to be active?
No. The 6" ventilation port does not have to be activated to provide dehumidification. A 6" piece of foam insulation needs to be removed before the DH90 will ventilate.  The optional W8150 along with the optional EARD6 damper controls the amount of fresh air that comes in to the home based on the size of the home and number of rooms.
Where can the DR90 Dehumidifier be installed?
The Honeywell DR90 is ideal for attic, crawlspace, basement, and multiple-system applications. Common ducted installation location is near the air conditioner coils. The DH90 should always be installed next to a condensate drain where the water from the unit can properly be drained. The DH90 can also be installed as a stand alone unit as long as a drain is present.
What refrigerant is used?
The DR90 Dehumidifier uses R410A refrigerant
