Robert L. Posch, President & Chief Engineer
Environmental Pool Systems, Inc.  was founded  in 1985  by Robert L. Posch and incorporated in 1987. Bob’s experience in the HVAC and Indoor Swimming Pool Industry, humidity control and pool dehumidification dates back to the early 1970’s.  When the 1973 Oil Embargo hit, Bob took on a geothermal distributorship in a tri-state area.   His extensive HVAC background made him a sought-after consultant to the major utilities as an expert, teacher and mentor in geothermal heating and cooling.   At the same time he owned a mechanical contracting service company that specialized in indoor pool dehumidification systems.  After several years of servicing dehumidifiers, it became very apparent that these pool systems were of a highly complex design, difficult to operate and understand, and had an extremely high service factor.  This was the impetus for Bob to “think outside the box” and design and build a service friendly, highly efficient indoor pool dehumidification system under the DRY-AIR label.   Since that time he’s has expanded the product line to include the DRY-AIR DE Dehumidifier Series, Dry-Air Geothermal, the new DRY-AIR WR Dehumidifier Series and Veri-Dry, dehumidification designed for existing residential and commercial buildings. 

Bob not only has extensive years in research in dehumidification and humidity control, but has an equal number of years of hands-on expertise in service and installation of pool room dehumidifiers; has taught mechanical refrigeration, dehumidification, air delivery systems, geothermal systems, and is an expert in the fields of design, consultation and engineering of humidity control systems for the aquatics industry and other commercial applications.
