Therma-Stor Santa Fe Rx Whole House Dehumidifier

Date Published: 6/27/05

A top-of-the-line dehumidifier with a price tag to match, the Santa Fe will handle dehumidification for an entire house (2200 square feet). At 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 60 percent relative humidity, it can remove up to 90 pints of water per day--which far surpasses all other units we've tested. The Santa Fe is housed in furniture-quality cabinet and has extras not seen in most dehumidifiers. Standard air filtration is provided by a pleated polyester and carbon blend media filter. The operator may use it with an optional HEPA filter to clean the air while the dehumidifier is in use. The specific filter housing can also be used to hold two activated carbon and potassium permanganate blend filters. In addition, it has a built-in condensate pump so that homeowners can drain "uphill," such as to a sink basin or outside through the wall or through a window. Condensate pumps are typically sold as options with other dehumidifiers. The supplied drain hose is 20 feet long. The humidistat can be set to maintain relative humidity within a wide a range, from 20 to 80, and has a defrost system down to 53 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, this unit runs very quietly. Like other quality humidifiers, this unit is wheel mounted for portability.
