Santa Fe 4025081 Dehumidifier Review

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 01:15:24 +0000

The Santa Fe 4025081 provides superior real world performance, energy efficiency, and the health benefits associated with the freedom from mold, mildew, and dust mites while consistently maintaining 50% relative humidity, and protecting the structural integrity of your home.

Santa Fe 4025081 Specifications:

Height: 18.65”
Width: 33”
Depth: 20.75”
Weight: 138 lbs.
Daily Capacity: 135 pints
Warranty: 1 + 4 year factory warranty

Using only 11.4 amps of electricity, the Santa Fe 4025081 offers as much as $200 per year in energy savings compared to the conventional dehumidifier. More pints of water per kilowatt of electricity means lower cost of operation.

This high capacity dehumidifier removes up to 135 pints of water per day at standard conditions – enough water removal capacity for areas up to 3200 square feet. You would have to purchase multiple units to equal the water removal capacity of a single Santa Fe 4025081. It drains via gravity drain.

Santa Fe 4025081 is powerful enough to control humidity even in the cooler environments of basements and crawlspaces. Dehumidifiers are rated at 80°F and 60% relative humidity. At the cooler, real-life temperatures of a basement or crawlspace, the capacity of conventional dehumidifiers drops dramatically. At temperatures below 65°F, frost forms on the coils of a conventional unit and causes the unit to ice up. Frost cuts down on air circulation so the unit does not remove as much moisture from the air. Some units have automatic defrost but remove minimal quantities of water in cooler conditions. However, even at regular basement conditions, the Santa Fe 4025081 removes more pints of water per day than most dehumidifiers.

The Santa Fe Series utilizes an impeller rather than a propeller fan allowing the use of high-efficiency air filtration for improved indoor air quality. Standard MERV-11 filtration is 65% efficient and captures particles from 1.0 to 3.0 microns in size, resulting in effective filtration of most mold spores.

Santa Fe 4025081 at a glance…

Pros:

Effective
Powerful
Energy efficient
Filters air as well

Cons:

Expensive
Heavy

Overall, this dehumidifier is effective in removing moisture from the air and filters it, too to achieve improved air quality. It is more powerful than other dehumidifier models.

Santa Fe 100 Dehumidifier Review

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 03:27:06 +0000

The Santa Fe 100 is a high efficiency dehumidifier that is designed and built with emphasis on efficiency and durability. You can relax knowing that this efficient, Energy Star rated machine is hitting the extra moisture hard, but not making a negative impact on your energy bill. Reclaim your basement with this worthwhile investment.

Santa Fe 100 Specifications:

Height: 36”
Width: 20”
Depth: 17”
Weight: 110 lbs.
Capacity: 106 pints
Warranty: 1 year

The Santa Fe 100 dehumidifier removes 6.8 pints of water per kilowatt hour at 80°F and 60% RH, while the industry average remains at only two to three pints. The high-efficiency design of Santa Fe 100 offers more than just dramatically reduced utility costs. The larger water removal capacity from a smaller, more efficient refrigeration system eliminates the need for 220 volt circuits in many applications. The smaller refrigeration system allows the Santa Fe 100 to cost less than other commercial dehumidifiers of equal capacity.

This high efficiency dehumidifier utilizes refrigeration to cool the incoming air stream below its dew point as it passes through the dehumidification (evaporator) coil. This cooling results in the removal of moisture (latent heat) and reduction in temperature (sensible heat). The cooled and dried air is used to pre-cool the incoming air stream resulting in up to a 200 percent increase in overall efficiency. After the pre-cooling stage the processed air is reheated by passing through the condenser coil. The latent heat removed by the evaporator coil is returned to the air stream at this stage as sensible heat, resulting in an overall temperature increase from the incoming air.

The Santa Fe 100 features a dehumidistat controller with settings from 20 to 80 percent relative humidity and a positive “on” and “off” setting. A blower switch permits continuous blower operation independent of dehumidification. The unit is portable and has four casters. The internal condensate pump is capable of lifting condensate 17 feet, and 20 feet of condensate hose is included. The unit’s 6 ft. power cord that plugs into a 115 volt receptacle with ground.

Santa Fe 100 at a glance…

Pros:

Powerful
Efficient
Great design
Quiet motor
Consumes less electricity

Cons:

Expensive
Heavy

Overall, this is a dehumidifier that removes water twice as much as the other humidifier brands, large water removal for a reduced cost.
