I just found out that my maintenance guy put the inlet air filter in backward. Could this be the cause for my freeze-up?

My Sante Fe advance 90 is producing water but at a lot less rate. Now, the humidity in my encapsulated crawl is at 71% used to be at 38%

Why is the 120V so significantly more expensive than the 120?

Nope , that means your unit is corroding and time to replace .My advance 90 just did this and I am replacing with the Oasis 105, which has a positive pressure drain system and will hopefully last longer 😢.

Why don’t you have to put a P trap like the other videos?

Great, thanks for this!

Thank you. Very helpful.

Is it normal to have some water leakage on the bottom right side (filter side) of the Santa Fe Advance 90??

Can UV light be installed in these units to prevent mold?

What about the black box the water goes in?

I always wondered why negative pressure doesn't suck water before trap gets filled? I understand trap is helpful in order not to suck dusty air, but concept about pulling water backwards is not clear. Water still goes downward to fill trap, right? Then why not to let water go further via high pitch tube to the drain or pump.Traps are known to accumulate dirt, so why not to get rid of them to avoid often cleaning them and water overflow.

Makes a lot of sense, thank you

That trap is so potential to issue and the instruction is very poor. If installer do it like this , there is a disaster waiting to happen . Ask me for a proper trap set up I would be happy to advise

why isnt there insulation on the rest of the duct.? Potential condensation issue already pointed out..

Would this be done the same way if using an external condensate pump to move the water outside of a crawl space?

you put it on NORMAL. ?

I just purchase an Oasis 105 and want to add a float switch as well as an intermittent Alarm if the unit throws an error code. I have a float switch ordered and understand how it get wired to the control but I need help on wiring an Alarm. The only alarms Ive found are 24 VDC. Can a DC alarm be used and which terminals are to be used.

These units short cycle when the fan is set to AUTO because the humidity control is in the base, near where the condensate sits. They really need a remote humidity control provision.

Mine is set to normal but there is water drops all over under the water barrier. I don't think normal setting is working in MD in Dec. I put it to drier...but idk guys ..need some recommendations here please

What setting do you recommend for winter months? Do you think it is advisable to set it to “off”? Will freezing weather (below 32F) cause damage to the unit if it is running at automatic?

Buy a dedicated microphone.

Huh, maybe this is why my dehumifier has a trap on it. Was so curious. Thanks!

why does it have to be looped? Why not just let it hang lower than the outlet port?

Why not use an Aprilaire?

👎 Why didn't you show how to connect the pump safety switch that will shut down the dehumidifier when the pump stops woking and the reservoir fills up?

I have 2" foam boards up the wall and spray foamed above that and the vents have been spray foamed also so my crawl space is completely sealed, now on the ground I have number 8 stone on top of vaper barrier plastic and I have the Santa fa compact 70. Just wondering if I'm all right with that.

Have a Hisense DH3019K1W 22-Pint 1-Speed Dehumidifier. Since fall dropped and humidity stays at 40s the clean filter light comes on. Filter is clean.

crawl space dehumidifier need external controls. Please send us a video on this model and installing external controls.

How quiet are these units compared to, say a window air conditioner?

Good video, I will not run my deh this winter, this will save me money on my electric bill

That’s the point, if you don’t have ventilation and the outside temperature is colder than the inside temperature leading to condensation it is more important to dehumidify in the winter than summer

Also, get some guard rails around that attic hatch!

Tremendous talk. I work in QC/Safety for a large commercial interiors contractor and noone is talking about humidity. I recently had to repair all the seams in a VERY large project due to the GC firing up the HVAC and letting it blast as hard as it could until desired temps were reached. This led to huge drops in % of humidity which ultimately led to starved mud joints, cracking, and accessory detachment with regards to drywall installation. I had installed hygrometers prior to the issues presenting themselves which allowed me to make the case that it was not faulty drywall or faulty workmanship. We ended up going from a potential 200k loss to a $280k profit simply because we had environmental data.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the tip!

RH needs to be 30-40 not 50

Why is a pretzel knot needed?

Why is a pretzel not needed

I dont know how the loop works on this, but on an ac its just a bad idea, usually they end up holding water and not because they are clogged but because the fan and the sheer amount of water coming down at a given time just randomly keeps it from flowing, I would say stick with the pvc trap

Does the unit have an air filter ?

*I like the dehumidifier, low noise>>>**nub.best/3dzs** It would have been nice to have current temp reading which I had on another brand. Otherwise the unit works fine. in 3 days I emptied out two buckets of water.*

Is this unit quite?

I'd like to add that I am really impressed with this device but I have two observations 1) the manual should really emphasize the need to have it perfectly horizontal/level (or at most, slightly tilted forward, toward the drain port); and 2) the discharge hose length is a joke: to use it on my crawlspace, I had to run to Lowes and buy a 25-ft hose... and since I was there, also a longer extension cord. You should mention the hanging kit: as a consumer, I found that the hanging kit is **A MUST HAVE** - I ordered it along with the dehumidifier and boy, I was glad I did as it made the work of lifting the unit and leveling the unit, a breeze.

Any advice for ice on the condenser fins? 2 year old Advance 2 model.

A dehumidifier does not need a drain trap.

I have a stand alone dehumidifier in the winter the coils freeze would the same thing happen with this unit

There looks like something is wrong with the video
