Info & Guides

Description

Crawl spaces with limited headroom need a dehumidifier that performs without taking up space you don't have. The Santa Fe Compact70 Dehumidifier (model 4044110) meets that need with power and efficiency, featuring a horizontal, 12-inch-tall, flow-through design that slides into areas where larger models simply won't work.

 

Once called the Santa Fe Compact2, the Compact70 has been one of Santa Fe's most popular models for years and easily tackles moisture problems in tight below-grade spaces like basements, garages, and workshops up to 2,600 square feet.

Key Features and Benefits of the Santa Fe Compact70 Dehumidifier

  • Moisture Removal: Removes up to 70 pints of moisture per day under AHAM conditions (80 degrees F and 60 percent relative humidity), giving your crawl space or basement reliable protection against excess dampness.
  • Energy Efficiency: Offers exceptional energy efficiency, with an integrated energy factor of 1.96 liters per kWh under AHAM conditions or 4.1 pints per kWh at 65 degrees F and 60 percent relative humidity.
  • Compact Frame: Measures 12 x 12 x 21 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 55 pounds, so it fits between floor joists and inside low-clearance areas.
  • Crawl Space Package: Order this model with the optional Santa Fe Compact70 Dehumidifier Crawlspace Installation Package for a complete set of accessories to install, monitor, and maintain its performance. It includes the Acu-Rite Remote Thermometer / Hygrometer, the Santa Fe Small Hang Kit, and multiple extra MERV-13 filters.
  • Durable Build: Corrosion-resistant, dual-coated coils and a heavy-duty steel shell withstand the damp, demanding conditions of below-grade installations.
  • Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: The R-454B refrigerant delivers improved energy efficiency and a lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerant formulations.
  • Air Filtration: A washable pre-filter and pleated MERV-13 filter work together to capture allergens and protect the dehumidifier's internal components.
  • Operating Range: Functions in temperatures from 49 to 95 degrees F, with an automatic defrost system that clears ice buildup so it keeps running in cooler conditions.
  • Gravity Drainage: Includes an 8-foot gravity drain hose for continuous, unattended operation, and an external condensate pump accessory can be added when gravity drainage isn't practical for your setup.
  • Humidity Control: An on-board humidity controller lets you adjust the RH setpoint between 35 and 65 percent, with a separate option to run the fan continuously or only when the compressor is active.
  • Sound Level: Produces up to 55 dB, keeping noise roughly at the level of a normal conversation while it runs.
  • Extended Warranty Coverage: The Compact70 is backed by Santa Fe's industry-leading 6-year warranty coverage, which protects against operational and component failures, giving you confidence in your long-term investment.

Sizing Your Crawl Space or Basement

Your coverage depends on how well-sealed your crawl space or basement is. Both crawl spaces and basements start at 1,800 square feet of coverage, with well-sealed crawl spaces reaching 2,600 and basements reaching 2,200 square feet. In cooler conditions around 65 degrees F/60 percent RH, the Compact70's output drops to 43.7 pints per day, so factor in your climate when choosing a dehumidifier for a space near the upper end of that range.

Installation Options for the Compact70

This versatile crawl space dehumidifier features a range of accessories and features that boost its adaptability and installation flexibility. 

Sylvane's Expert Take

If you're a homeowner dealing with a damp crawl space or basement and you need a dehumidifier that actually fits the space without skimping on power, the Santa Fe Compact70 belongs on your short list. Standard dehumidifiers are often too tall to slide under floor joists, but the Compact70's horizontal profile fits into spaces that would rule out most models. Additionally, the Compact70's efficiency means you'll keep operating costs down when the system runs around the clock during humid months.

    Dehumidifier for crawlspace

    This unit was easy to install and begin using in a short time. It quickly brought the humidity level in my crawlspace down as desired. Big draw for me on this unit was the manual on and off switch so I no longer have to worry if the unit is operating after a power blip or outage, i.e. no electronic operational panel.

    It works!!!!!

    Santa Fe Compact 70 Dehumidifier is pulling the moisture out of our basement. Doors are closing without binding and water is still draining into the floor drain. The basement even smells better.

    Great product.

    Works really well

    My dehumidifier of 20 years stopped working. I ordered the new Santa Fe 100 and I was able to install it myself. Within the first hour it took out quarts of water from my basement. I like that it does not run all the time rather it test the air and runs a little bit hourly. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
