Overview
Powerful and efficient, the Quest 506 is the industry’s first 500-pint dehumidifier and is perfect for agricultural applications as well as tough commercial spaces. Its 506 pint capacity makes it one of the most powerful commercial dehumidifiers on the market.
M-CoRR Technology
The Quest 506 utilizes our unique patented M-CoRR technology. This multi-coil refrigeration design recycles excess heat to provide the highest efficiencies available on the market, while reducing heat (BTUs) output into your space.
Commonly used in indoor growing facilities, greenhouses, warehouses and other large industrial areas, the 506 dehumidifier is available for a variety of uses and installations. This Quest dehumidifier can be hung or placed on the floor, and offers an impressive MERV 13 filtration system.
The Quest 506 dehumidifier is engineered and assembled in Madison, Wisconsin. It’s backed by a 5-year warranty. In addition, this unit meets California Title 24 requirements for both ducted (whole-home) and non-ducted (portable) installations.
