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 North Carolina, 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!
