Transform Your Basement
If y
ou store anything of value in your basement
or if you use your basement as living space, it is important to keep the moisture levels low.
Relative humidity levels rising above 70% stimulate
the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria and other
biological allergens, which generate musty basement odors. These conditions must also be
prevented in microenvironments such as
underneath carpeting, rugs, or storage boxes.
The Santa Fe Classic is the most energy-efficient
dehumidifier in the industry and offers
time-tested technology to maintain 50% or less relative humidity in your
home as
recommended by the EPA, American Lun
g Association, and American Medical
Association.
Energy Star Listed: Uses only 6.8 amps of electricity
offering as much as $275 per
year in energy savings compared to the conventional dehumidifier. More
pints of
water per kilowatt of electricity means lower cost of operation.
Large Capacity: This high capacity basement
dehumidifier removes up to 100 pints
of water per day—enough water removal capacity for areas up to 2,500
square
feet.
Low Temp Operation: Powerful enough to control humidity
even in the cooler
environments of basements. Dehumidifiers are rated at 80°F and 60%
relative
humidity. At the cooler, real-life temperatures of a basement, the
capacity of
conventional dehumidifiers drops dramatically.
At temperatures below 65°F, frost forms on the coils of a conventional
unit and
causes the unit to ice-up. Frost cuts down on air circulation so the
unit does not
remove as much moisture from the air. Some units have automatic defrost
but
remove minimal quantities of water in cooler conditions. However, even
at regular
basement conditions, the Santa Fe Classic removes more pints of water
per day than
most dehumidifiers.
