Compact and Powerful
Dehumidification for Crawlspaces.

Studies have shown that as much as 50% of the air in your home comes up from your
basement or crawlspace. This air is often higher in relative humidity, and carries with it
various allergens and musty odors. When conditions linger above 60% relative humidity
for extended periods of time, mold, mildew, and bacteria growth is stimulated.
The American Lung Association, American Medical Association, and the EPA
recommend maintaining relative humidity level in the 30% – 50% range. Ventilation
and air conditioning alone cannot provide the protection offered by a premium
dehumidifier like the Santa Fe Compact.™ Protecting your family, and your biggest
investment, is worth the best.
“Application-Specific” Design
The Santa Fe Compact was specifically designed for crawlspaces. At 12″ tall and
12″ wide, the Santa Fe Compact can fit when no other dehumidifier can. The
Compact’s horizontal configuration and flow-through design perform exceptionally
well in tight crawlspaces. The optional condensate pump and ducting kits provide
the installation flexibility necessary for the most challenging applications. No massmerchant
dehumidifier can perform as efficiently and effectively in crawlspaces as
the Santa Fe Compact.
n Energy Star Listed – The high efficiency Santa Fe Compact produces 5 pints per kilowatt-hour, far better than mass merchant
dehumidifiers. Better efficiency means lower operating cost – in many cases saving hundreds of dollars per year in electricity.
n Large Capacity – The high capacity Santa Fe Compact provides up to 70 pints per day water removal at standard rating conditions*.
Medium-sized crawlspaces (up to 1600 sq. ft.) are no problem for the Santa Fe Compact.
n Low Temperature Operation – The Santa Fe Compact was engineered for crawlspaces, and the temperature and air flow issues that
they present. When many mass-merchant dehumidifiers have stopped removing water from the air, the Santa Fe Compact keeps on
protecting you and your home.
n Superior Air Filtration – MERV-11 filtration is standard on the Santa Fe Compact, capturing particles (including mold spores) down
to 1 micron in size. This superior level of air filtration also keeps the Santa Fe Compact working at peak efficiency for longer than
other devices with cheaper designs.
n Optional Equipment – The engineers at Therma-Stor designed remote ducting kits, hang
kits, caster kits and condensate pumps for use with the Santa Fe Compact. These optional
kits provide the ultimate in flexibility for your specific installation requirements.
*AHAM standard testing conditions are 80°F and 60% RH.
free standing Installation
Ventilation of a crawlspace to control relative humidity only
works consistently in an arid climate. In most climates,
ventilation can add significant quantities of moisture during
humid times.
Depending on the outside weather, as much as 375 pounds of
water per day can infiltrate a crawlspace through ventilation.
Proactive dehumidification of a sealed crawlspace is the only
way to ensure desired humidity levels are present.
1. Seal all outside vents to eliminate outside air, which also
reduces heating/cooling loads and uncontrolled moisture
intake.
2. Install vapor barriers over exposed earth.
3. Condition crawlspace air with a Santa Fe Compact to provide
humidity control regardless of outside conditions.

Consequences of High Humidity in Crawlspaces
• Wet crawlspaces contribute to the cupping of wood floors and the deterioration of floor joists,
beams, sub-flooring, insulation and electrical-mechanical systems.
• Excess moisture encourages mold growth on the wood and on any other organic material that
is in the crawlspace.
• Crawlspaces are a major source of air infiltration that permeates up into the living area,
transmitting odors, saturating structures, and creating an environment conducive to molds and
dust mite infestation.
Foundation Vents
New research indicates that foundation vents do not always expel moisture or keep
the crawlspace dry. Rather than removing crawlspace moisture, venting can make the
problem worse.
Building scientists have found that when warm, moist outside air enters a crawlspace through
vents, the air cools and dramatically increases the relative humidity of the crawlspace.
When the relative humidity goes over 100%, condensation accumulates on the walls, floors, and
building components.
Just 100 cfm of 70°F dew point air entering a crawlspace would require the removal of about 10
gallons of water per day!
As a solution to vented crawlspaces where condensation, humidity, and other changes in the
atmosphere can leave the space damp and moldy — a closed crawlspace with dehumidification
for humidity control is recommended.

basement/crawlspace Dehumidification
Because basement and crawlspace floors and walls are in contact
with the soil, and soil temperatures several feet below the surface
remain at a constant temperature of 50°- 60°F, basement and
crawlspace floors and walls tend to remain cool. Since basements
and crawlspaces tend to be cool, and cool air holds less moisture than
warm air, they will have higher relative humidity.
Typically, the closer to ground level, the larger the area, and the
damper the environment, the more capacity that will be necessary
to dry out the area. Capacity is usually measured in the number of
pints of water that a dehumidifier can remove from the air at a given
temperature over a given period of time.
Capacities for residential dehumidifiers are measured in pints of
water removed per day at standard conditions. Standard conditions
are determined by the American Home Appliance Manufacturers
(AHAM) and are used because capacity will vary with conditions. AHAM
standard rating conditions are 80°F and 60% RH. The capacity of the
Santa Fe Compact is 70 pints per day at these conditions.
The Santa Fe Compact is necessary to ensure that enough moisture is
removed at the real-world temperature of your basement or crawlspace
to prevent mold, mildew and bacterial growth. The Santa Fe Compact is a
dehumidifier designed for these cooler applications.

humidity alert™
Do you know the relative humidity levels in your home?
4026208
The Humidity Alert™ was designed by
Therma-Stor to discriminate between occasional
periods of high humidity and the prolonged
periods that create a risk of unhealthy biological
activity. It’s a simple, inexpensive device that
monitors temperature and relative humidity
conditions and records data that is known to
contribute to wood rot, mold growth, musty
odors and increased pest activity.
easY to use:
1. Place the meter in the desired space.
2. Collect the necessary humidity data.
3. Adjust your Santa Fe dehumidifier to a
desired humidity setting.
