Basement and Crawl Space Dehumidifier

Eliminate damp, musty odors in your basement once and for all by drying and filtering the air!

Mold is a growing concern in Missouri and Kansas, and a basement is a great place for mold to grow. Mold and mildew are musty smelling fungi that thrive in moist conditions. We cannot make claims about mold before or after the SaniDry is installed, but one thing is for sure - keeping humidity down reduces the chances for mold to grow. In general, mold will not grow at less than 50% Relative Humidity ! The SaniDry will keep your basement below 50% relative humidity! Of course, any groundwater, plumbing or other leaks should be fixed as part of a strategy to eliminate mold.

Allergens
Mold spores will certainly irritate someone with allergies. The number one allergen, however, is the fecal matter of dust mites. Dust mites don't drink water but instead absorb it out of the air through their skin. In order to live, dust mites need relative humidity over 50%. The SaniDry unit will reduce the relative humidity below 50% and dust mites will die off.

SaniDry Basement Air System is a powerful and effective dehumidifier - big enough to do the job. It will dry the air and automatically drain the water out of a hose so you never have to empty it like a conventional dehumidifier. The SaniDry will take three times the water out of the air as a typical dehumidifier yet uses the same energy.

Filter the Air
The SaniDry unit has a two-stage filter system to keep the air clean. A prefilter for large dust particles can be rinsed clean as needed, and a second, easy to replace, slide-in filter (yellow), that takes out particles as small as two microns.

A powerful blower draws damp, musty air in and moves dry, clean air back out into the basement. The SaniDry unit can stand alone in a finished or unfinished basement. The unit is ducted into a finished area, with the air returning via existing air pathways connecting the spaces.

What's downstairs...is upstairs!
The basement is part of the inside of a building as a whole. If there is high humidity and musty odors downstairs, it will affect the upstairs environment. Therefore, by drying your basement, the SaniDry will help your whole house be drier and healthier!

Energy Efficiency and $avings
The SaniDry Basement Air System has ten times the cold surface area of an average dehumidifier and a very unique heat exchange core. This makes it ultra efficient! In fact, the SaniDry can remove three times the water out of the air while only using the same 6.8 amps of energy. Dry air is less costly and easier to heat and air condition. A full 30% of an air conditioner's load is to remove humidity. By starting with dry air, you will save on air conditioning costs due to your SaniDry unit!

Venting to-or-from the outside
When trying to dry an interior space, you never want to leave windows or vents open or use a fan to blow air in or out. If you blow air out, new unconditioned air from the exterior will replace it, entering from somewhere in the building envelope. This new unconditioned air will need to be heated, cooled and dehumidified to be comfortable, adding substantial "hidden" costs to your heating and cooling bills.

Keep windows, doors and vents to the outside closed. The best way to dry a space out is to dry the air in it - and that's what the SaniDry Basement Air System does!
