Drain Installation
The Santa Fe Advance dehumidier generates condensate.
Place a secondary drain pan under the dehumidier if it is suspended above a nished area or above an area where wa-
ter leakage could cause damage.
A drain trap is required for the dehumidier to run properly. Install a 3/4" threaded male NPT adapter to the drain port
or drain pan if one is being used. Install a drain pipe assembly utilizing 3/4" PVC pipe to transport the condensate to a
drain. The pitch/slope of the drain pipe should be no less than 1 inch per 10 feet of drain pipe.
An optional condensate pump kit is available for use with the Santa Fe Advance dehumidier and may be installed if lift
is required to dispose of condensate. Condensate is automatically pumped to a remote location when the water level in
the pump’s reservoir rises to close the float switch.

The Santa Fe Advance dehumidifier requires a drain trap.
Creating a drain trap allows a small amount of water to build up
in the trap area of the clear hose. This prevents air from back
flowing through the hose and into the dehumidifier; essentially
causing the unit to backflow water out of the corners of the
machine. Position the trap in the hose approximately 8"-10”
from the dehumidifier and make sure the highest point of the
trap is still at least 2” below the black drain port adapter on the
dehumidifier. If the highest point of the trap is above the drain
port, water will back flow into the dehumidifier. Check the hose
regularly to ensure water is draining properly.
Use care to keep the hose as flat to the floor as
possible after your trap is in place. Be sure the hose is
not kinked or otherwise restricted so water can pass
through the hose freely. Improper installation of the
drain hose may result in water leakage.
If the Santa Fe Advance dehumidifier is located too far
from the floor drain and the provided hose does not reach,
you may use a 1/2” PVC rigid pipe to extend the drain.
Rigid PVC tubing is readily available from your local hard-
ware store. Be sure the extension is at a downward slope
to the drain.
An optional condensate pump kit may be installed
if lift is required to remove condensate. To order,
contact your local dealer or visit our website at
www.santa-fe-products.com. You may also reach us
by phone at [phone] and we can direct you to
find a dealer.
Note: The secondary drain pan is only needed if the
dehumidifier is located above a living space.
