Moisture Management Aboard: New Dehumidifier Solution for Aussie Boaties

Boat owners across Australia now have a powerful ally in the fight against onboard humidity, with the launch of the Ionmax+ ED12 Industrial Desiccant Dehumidifier — a robust and marine-ready solution designed for year-round protection against moisture-related damage.

 

Ideal for use in boats, coastal properties, industrial facilities, and any high-humidity environment, the Ionmax+ ED12 offers a commercial-grade defence against condensation, mildew, and stale air — common threats in the variable Australian climate. With a drying capacity of up to 12 litres per day and an operational range down to -15°C, the ED12 is particularly suited to marine applications, including off-season storage, liveaboard setups, and even commercial marine operations.

Combatting the Hidden Costs of Humidity

Excess moisture aboard a vessel can cause significant long-term damage, from corroding wiring and warping timber interiors to encouraging mould growth and degrading textiles.

While many portable dehumidifiers offer short-term relief, few are engineered to withstand the rigours of marine conditions.

Enter the Ionmax+ ED12 — compact, rugged, and designed for continuous use. Housed in a durable, anti-rust SPCC metallic body, the unit can be installed freestanding or wall-mounted, with integrated ducting ports and optional HEPA filtration to double as an air purifier.

Key Features:

  • Low-temperature performance: Operates efficiently in environments as cold as -15°C, making it ideal for use during winter layups or in southern harbour climates.
  • Maintenance-free design: Continuous drainage capability via ducting eliminates the need for manual emptying.
  • Smart control: Monitor and manage humidity levels remotely via the Ionmax app or included wired controller.
  • Quiet operation: With noise levels as low as 45 dB, the unit provides round-the-clock protection without disrupting life on board.
  • Air purification option: An optional HEPA filter improves onboard air quality — ideal for allergy-sensitive users or those living aboard.

A Smart Investment for Marine Protection

Designed for areas up to 50 square metres, the Ionmax+ ED12 is well-suited for mid-size vessels, engine rooms, storage lockers, or coastal sheds. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, the unit helps reduce maintenance costs, extend the life of sensitive equipment, and improve onboard comfort.

For boat owners looking to safeguard their investment, the Ionmax+ ED12 presents a reliable, set-and-forget solution tailored to Australia’s diverse marine environments.
