Let's take a look at the Horizon 50 3500 SF Crawlspace Dehumidifier,
and see how it stacks up against a popular model.
Horizon 50 / Ebac Neptune
Capacity: 50 PPD / 51 PPD
Amp Draw: 4.2 amps / 5 amps
CFM: 350 / 282
Operating temperature: 33-99 degrees F / 41-100 degrees F
Sized for: 3500 SF / 800 SF
Hot gas defrost: Yes / Yes
Reusable filter: Yes / No
There are a few surface similarities, but let's take a closer look. With the Ebac Neptune, it takes five amps to operate, so it's more power hungry when compared to the Horizon 50.
The CFM is 25% more powerful with the Horizon 50. This means humidity lowers in the air faster, because there is better air circulation.
Lower temperature operation goes to the Horizon 50. In the winter, harsh conditions present themselves, and many dehumidifiers struggle to keep up at low temperatures. With Horizon, you'll have steady, reliable operation down to 33 degrees F.
With Horizon's 50 Crawl Space dehumidifier, you get a machine that can handle up to 3500 SF of crawl space, or 900 SF of basement. With the Ebac neptune, it's sized for 800 SF of basement.
Horizon uses a reusable Merv-8 washable filter. You'll get reliable air filtration, without ever having to buy filters.
