Abstract

A dehumidifying system for use in a building housing a swimming pool. The system includes a refrigerant compressor, a dehumidifier coil for dehumidifying air within the building, an air cooled condenser for reheating the air previously cooled down in the dehumidifying coil as well as for heating the swimming pool enclosure and a water cooled condenser for heating the pool water. The heat developed in the system can be used to selectively heat the dehumidified air within the building and the water in the swimming pool. The water obtained during dehumidification of the air is collected and returned to the swimming pool.
