SaniDry Basement Air System

For removing high levels of relative humidity in a damp basement, a dehumidifier is the plain SaniDry Basement Air System keeps Michigan basements dry.answer... but not just any dehumidifier. The SaniDry Basement Air System is a high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidifier with air filtration in a single unit. The SaniDry takes up to 100 pints of water per day out of your basement air, while using the same energy as a 40-pint dehumidifier. And it filters particles out of the air to less than an incredible two microns in size - which is smaller than any mold spore or dust mite dropping.

The SaniDry has a powerful blower to move the dry air all around your damp basement space. This dry air then dries your building materials and basement contents, which makes the damp smell and damp feeling go away! What a huge difference a SaniDry can make in condensation season. People really love their dry basement environments after having a SaniDry installed.


You'll also never have to empty any buckets on your SaniDry basement dehumidifier because it automatically drains into your basement waterproofing system or sump pump.

Having a groundwater-free basement is one thing, adding a SaniDry is like putting the cherry on top of your dry basement program -- it makes it complete. There are not many basements that don't need one. Picture the concrete in your basement turning white because it is so dry! 

Why does the SaniDry perform so well?
How does it perform so incredibly well with the same amount of energy that less-effective 20-pound-weakling dehumidifiers use?
  • The SaniDry blows air over a huge cold coil. It looks like a truck radiator instead of the little squirrelly spiral coil of dinky dehumidifiers.
  • The SaniDry runs the exiting dry cold air through a special heat-exchange core that pre-cools the incoming wet air and recaptures energy.
  • The SaniDry runs the exiting dry cold air through a special heat-exchange core that pre-cools the incoming wet air and recaptures energy.
SaniDry is an Energy Efficient Dehumidifier
To further prove its mettle, SaniDry is Energy Star rated - a rare achievement for a dehumidification system. Another big benefit of the SaniDry system is that it doesn't have to be located in the damp space it's drying. You can locate it in a utility room and duct the wet air in and dry air out to the main room of your basement.

Why Home Dehumidifiers Just Don't Do the Job
  • They are too small.
  • The cold coil (the actual thing that takes the water out of the air) is too small.
  • The fan is too small (it has to be so it doesn't blow the air past the dinky coil too fast, otherwise it wouldn't take any water out!).
  • The fan doesn't circulate the dry air around your damp basement - because it's too small.
  • They usually aren't drained automatically, so the bucket fills up and they shut off.
  • They are rated (25 pints, 30 pints, 40 pints, etc.) per day at 80 degrees air temperature. Warm air holds a lot more moisture than cold air. Put them in a 68 degree basement and their effectiveness goes way down below this number.
