Why Household Dehumidifiers Just Don't Do the Job
Some people think that if they just hook up a household dehumidifier, it will do the job. That is definitely not the case!
The following issues are why they won't work for your basement or crawlspace:
1. The unit is too small
2. The cold coil is too small
3. The fan is too small
4. The fan doesn't circulate the dry air around your crawlspace - because it's too small!
5. They usually aren't drained automatically, so the bucket fills up and they shut off!
6. They are rated to remove only 25 pints, 30 pints, 40 pints, etc. per day at 80 degrees air temperature
There is simply no comparison between a SaniDry Sedona and any household dehumidifier you've ever seen! The SaniDry is a high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidification system, with air filtration, in a single unit. The SaniDry takes up to 100 pints of water per day out of your crawlspace air, while using the same energy as a 40 pint dehumidifier. The SaniDry air system wrings your air dry, and its powerful blower moves that dry air into and around your crawlspace. This dry air then dries your building materials and contents, which makes the damp smell and damp feeling go away.
The SaniDry Sedona is also Energy Star rated, making it the most efficient dehumidifier in the world! The SaniDry Sedona also automatically drains into your WaterGuard system system or sump and can even be located in a different space than the one it's drying!
So when it's time to have a dehumidifier in your basement or crawlspace, choose DryZone and have us install the best!
