Santa Fe Ultra70 Whole House Dehumidifier - ul3684
Maintain healthy humidity throughout your home and feel more comfortable indoors with the Santa Fe Ultra70 Ventilating Dehumidifier (4044100). This whole-house dehumidifier integrates into your home's existing HVAC system and ductwork to control humidity. It also provides whole-house ventilation with optional fresh air intake for improved indoor air quality year-round.
Powerful Moisture Removal
The Ultra-Aire 70H Dehumidifier effectively eliminates up to 70 pints of moisture daily under AHAM conditions, making it suitable for spaces up to 1,800 square feet. This feature renders it perfect for smaller homes, condominiums, and apartments.
Popular installation options include a basement, crawl space, attic, closet, or mechanical room.
Designed for Low-Clearance Spaces
This dehumidifier is the industry's first-ever compact, high-efficiency, whole-house ventilating dehumidifier that fits into tight, low-clearance spots. The outer cabinet features a thoughtful design that allows you to convert airflow discharge vertically or horizontally from the unit.
The Ultra70 measures 12 x 12 x 28 inches, making it simple to set up even in areas where other dehumidifiers won't fit due to ducting problems, size constraints, or maintenance difficulties.
Energy Savings
This dehumidifier uses 15 percent less energy to remove more moisture than similar-sized dehumidifiers. It's also built with a more efficient refrigeration coil, compressor, and fan. The system draws only 5.1 amps of power max while operating, contributing to an impressive moisture removal energy factor of 2.4 liters per kilowatt-hour.
Customizable Installation to Fit Your Home's Needs
This dehumidifier can be used as a freestanding dehumidifier or ducted into your home's existing ductwork and HVAC system
Options for Setting Your Desired Humidity Level
Built-In Dehumidistat
This unit features a built-in dehumidistat that controls your desired humidity. Use this built-in control if you place the unit in the area you're treating.
Optional Remote Dehumidistat
An optional remote dehumidistat—the Ultra-Aire DEH 3000 Digital Controller—is also available. This controller allows you to set your desired humidity, manage fresh air ventilation, and activate air filtration, all from the convenience of your living space. Use this controller if you plan to place the unit in an area outside the treatment area and/or plan to set up fresh air ventilation. This control allows you to run the fan continuously instead of only when the unit is in dehumidifying mode.
- Ducting the unit to HVAC systems is the most common installation option and allows for the most effective humidity control and improved air quality throughout your home. This connects to 8-inch ductwork.
- Other popular installation options include installing the unit in basements, crawl spaces, attics, closets, or mechanical rooms. Various ducting and usage accessories are available to customize a configuration for your home's needs.
