Santa Fe Compact70 Dehumidifier

Santa Fe Compact Dehumidifier

At 12" tall and 12" wide, the Santa Fe™ Compact70 can fit where no other dehumidifier can. Innovative features such as integrated vertical or horizontal exhaust outlets offer flexibility even in exceptionally tight spaces, while the optional condensate pump, hang kit, and duct kit facilitate installation in the most challenging applications. No conventional dehumidifier can perform as efficiently and effectively in crawlspaces as the Santa Fe™ Compact70.

Water Removal - The Santa Fe™ Compact70 is AHAM rated (80° F @ 60% RH) to remove 70 pints of water per day. This is right in line with most crawlspace dehumidifiers. For spaces of about 2,300 sq. ft. or smaller, the 190 CFM blower can cycle through the air in your basement or crawlspace and remove the excess moisture that often leads to odors, mold and pests. Unless you have a structural problem with excess moisture (like a leaking pipe, improper drainage of the area around your house, etc.), the Compact70 can help remove odors, control pests and reduce or eliminate the growth of mold in your basement or crawlspace.

Durable Construction - The body and frame of the Compact70 is all steel, and while this does add some additional weight, it also adds a great deal of durability. It can withstand harsh conditions, from heat to cold without warping or cracking. Unlike the plastic housing of many dehumidifiers, steel won't crack or break. This model also comes standard with a MERV 13 air filter and a washable prefilter (rinse and air dry). Not only does this work to filter particles out of the air in your crawlspace or basement but this also helps to keep debris like dust and dirt from collecting around the coils and motor, preventing premature failure or strain on the blower. If you want better filtration of even smaller particles, as small as 1 micron, opt for the MERV 13 Annual Filter Kit as an upgade.

Energy Star Qualified - You can find crawlspace dehumidifiers with a smaller initial cost, but you will be very hard pressed to find one that will cost so little to operate. The Compact70 actually surpasses Energy Star guidelines and removes more water per kilowatt, five pints of water removed per kilowatt, than nearly all comparable brands and models. Those are savings that add up! So while you might pay a couple hundred more upfront for the Santa Fe™ Compact70, it'll end up saving you hundreds over the years of solid, reliable use that it provides.

Lightweight & Compact - With an ultra slim 12" x 12" body, the Santa Fe™ Compact is built for tight spaces. It easily fits between standard floor joists and has such a short stature that even low crawlspaces are not a problem. The overall weight of this crawlspace dehumidifier could be lighter, but that would likely mean scrapping the steel frame and body. So while there's a small sacrifice in terms of weight, what you gain is rugged durability.

Adaptability - The exhaust on this model can be modified to exit via the back of the machine or through the top. This gives you some flexibility if you were looking at a through-the-wall installation. The included 8' section of hose is generally enough for most people to port the drain line to the exterior of the crawlspace or a floor drain in the basement. Additionally, there are a wide variety of add-ons for this model. If you're looking to be able to move this model, say for use in a basement, go for the optional caster kit. Gravity not working with you in draining the condensate? There's a condensate pump kit that comes with a bracket to mount the pump to the side of the dehumidifier. Those are just a few of the more useful accessories but there are also mounting and ducting kits as well as other add-ons that help to make the Santa Fe™ Compact70 versatile and highly adaptable for whatever situation you throw at it.

Made in the USA - The reality is the United States just doesn't produce many products at home anymore. Manufacturing of most of our home appliances often takes place overseas, and while the price of these products haven't decreased much, quality sure has. As an authorized re-seller, we're proud to offer brands that are made right here in the U.S., and all Santa Fe™ dehumidifiers have this distinction. Since 1977, Therma-Stor, the parent company of the Santa Fe™ brand, has been designing and manufacturing heat transfer appliances and dehumidifiers. And unlike cheaper brands, Santa Fe™ dehumidifiers are only sold and distributed through select retailers.
