Air Quality

Whirlpool Brand Air Quality

Did you know that indoor air can be 2–5 times more polluted than outdoor air? Including a Whirlpool® AirCare™ whole home dehumidifier with your HVAC system improves your indoor air quality (IAQ) and reduces your exposure to allergy-producing organisms like pollen, dust mites and mold spores.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Lung Association agree that proper ventilation, humidity control and filtration are vital for healthy indoor air.

Whirlpool® AirCare™ whole home dehumidifiers sanitize, mix and filter fresh outside air with your home’s existing air, diluting the concentration of pollutants. Simultaneously, they minimize indoor dampness, which is the source for common household irritants, with the highest dehumidification capacity in the industry (up to 160 pints per day).*

Whirlpool Gold® models offer HEPA filtration with 99.97% efficiency and ultraviolet light protection for added defense against unhealthy bacteria and microorganisms that grow in coils and drip pans. All models include a 1-year warranty on parts and a 5-year warranty on the compressor.

Glossary

Factory Installed Antibacterial Ultraviolet Light Protection-—Exclusive!

Whirlpool Gold® models WGDH160UH and WGDV160UH are equipped with an internal UV(C) lamp to kill bacteria and other microorganisms that could grow on internal coils and condensate drip pans.

HEPA Filter Protection—-Exclusive!

HEPA filtration technology in units WGDH160UH and WGDV160UH provides extra defense from air particles and allergens in your home. With 99.97% efficiency, no more than 3 in 10,000 particles ever penetrate through the filter.

Consistent Performance, Easy Maintenance

For maximum efficiency replace high-efficiency filters once a year and have a technician replace prefilters and clean units every 6 months.

Heavy-Duty Moisture Removal

The 160 Series Whole Home Dehumidifier removes up to 160 pints of moisture per day from the air in your home, providing maximum performance for more comfortable living.

Long Life Filters

MERV†† 8 and 11 filters last up to 12 months. The HEPA, or MERV 20 filter, can last up to 2 years (depending upon indoor air quality).

†† The MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating of a filter describes the size of the holes in the filter that allow air to pass through. The higher the efficiency of the filter, the smaller the holes.
