IXL Home (IXL) recently launched Innovative Dehumidifier Systems (IDS), the pioneers of tankless, wall-mounted dehumidifiers, after being appointed the sole distributor of the brand in Australia and New Zealand.
IDS dehumidifiers help prevent mould growth, reduce moisture levels, maintain optimal relative humidity (below 60%) and improve indoor air quality.
Half of Australians have had mould or dampness in their home in the last 12 months, with one-third (34%) reporting mould, according to data from Asthma Australia. This can be caused by humidity from warm weather and high rainfall, poor ventilation, water intrusion issues or flooding.
The IDS IW25-5 wall-mounted dehumidifier generates a balance of positive and negative ions, which disperse across the room, binding with pollutants such as bacteria, pollen, mould, odours, and other contaminants, effectively breaking them down and converting them into water vapour.
Unlike other portable dehumidifiers on the market, the IDS IW25-5 features a tankless design for hands-free draining. The collected water drains directly into existing plumbing, removing the need to manually empty water from the system.
When humidity in the room exceeds the set point, the dehumidifier activates and extracts moisture from the air. It quietly and efficiently removes 31.5 litres of condensation per day based on 30°C/90% relative humidity and is suitable for spaces up to 140 square metres.
The IDS IW25-5 can be mounted to the wall like an air conditioner or integrated inside the wall to seamlessly blend with surfaces like plaster, wood, cement, brick, tile and stone. The unit is also tamper-proof with a built-in humidistat for set and forget operation. It can be powered by a 10amp plug or hardwired with semi-recessed and fully recessed installation to suit different applications.
The IDS IW25-5 wall-mounted dehumidifier is available for AUD RRP $3,499 and NZD RRP $3,999 and comes with a five-year warranty.
