Ducting To Finished Areas (Optional)
Place the Santa Fe Compact70 in the unnished area
of the basement, near a drain access (condensate will
drain via gravity or with an optional pump kit).
Using the supply duct collar, supply the dry air from
the dehumidier into a large, open area in the nished
section of the basement.
Place a return grill / passive vent on the other side of
the wall that separates the nished and unnished
areas. This will allow for a circular air flow throughout
the basement.
The passive grill will prevent the unnished room from
being placed under a negative pressure and also allow
the dehumidier to focus on keeping the unnished
area dry as well.
The onboard dehumidistat control can be used on the
unit for this application or a 120 volt dehumidistat
can be placed in the nished basement as well (we
recommend using an electrician to run the wiring).
Be sure to keep all doors open to any other rooms in the
basement to help with proper air circulation (bedrooms,
bathrooms, etc.)
Place the Santa Fe Compact70 in the unnished area of
the basement, near a drain access (condensate will drain
via gravity or with an optional pump kit).
Using the supply and return duct kit, supply the dry air
from the dehumidier into a large, open area of the n-
ished basement. Use the return duct kit to draw air back
through the dehumidier.
Be sure the return and supply are at least 10 feet away
from each other for proper air flow throughout the
basement. Add a passive grill between the nished and
unnished areas (*or have a 2” gap under the door
separating the two rooms). This will help keep the
unnished area dry as well.
Use the 120 volt, wall mounted dehumidistat for this
installation for proper run time on the dehumidier
(we recommend using an electrician to install the
separate 120 volt control).
Be sure to keep all doors open to any other rooms in the
basement to help with proper air circulation (bedrooms,
bathrooms, etc.)
