Re: Allergy and Asthma Sufferers Can Find Great Relief with Dehumidifiers and Air Pu

[Guest guest]

Hi KC,

I did not know too much about the Santa Fe dehumidifier I bought other

than it was big, very heavy, expensive, fairly quiet, and very

efficient on electricity. It had two features that I believe ALL

dehumidifiers SHOULD have.

The Santa Fa come with a 16 X 20 X 2 inch filter MERV 8 which I

changed to a MERV 15. Keeps the coils cleaner, keeps more spores off

the coils.

It also has a switch that will keep the fan running even when the

compressor shuts off. This feature will dry out the coils so they do

not sit there wet and growing molds etc, a must feature IMHO.

Just my $.02's worth.

I like their dehumidifiers but their air purifier section is most

ozone producing devices. So be cautious. If it doesn't have a fan

then it probably produces ozone.
