Resumen del manual
Over a thirty day period, the moisture content was measured at weekly intervals. Homes with the Eliminator installed saw a reduction of moisture levels to as low as 16% and 17%. A wood moisture level of 20% or less is considered ideal. Homes without the Eliminator showed no reduction in moisture content. “The Eliminator performed well, even under severe moisture problem conditions… the amount of air moved is sufficient to correct the problems present.” Cliff Consulting Columbia, S.C.

The Eliminator attaches to virtually any standard foundation vent. It is wired for automatic operation when the temperature exceeds 50o F. An optional de-humidistat activates the fan when humidity exceeds the owner-determined setting (20%–80%) in conjunction with the built-in temperature control. The temperature control is shielded from the sun to prevent false readings that could lead to costly operation during cold weather. Note: The de-humidistat is designed to be installed remotely, so it can be placed in the crawl space where moisture is most likely to accumulate. • Reduces moisture content and mold potential in crawl spaces, floor joists, flooring, and other support wood • Circulates air in crawl space • Removes radon gas • Automatic operation • Temperature or humidity activated • Reduces potential for airborne mold infiltration into home • Reduces termite potential Facts about radon, mold, and moisture. Radon Radon is a radioactive gas that is considered to be a health hazard affecting indoor air quality worldwide. Radon gas is the second most common cause of lung cancer in the United States. One in fifteen homes in the U.S. has a high level of radon. Mold According to a study by the Mayo Clinic, nearly all chronic sinus infections are a result of mold. Since up to 40% of the air we breathe in the home can come from the crawl space, mold in the crawl space means mold in the home. The EPA recommends to keep humidity levels in the crawl space to 40%–50% to reduce the likelihood of mold formation. Moisture Excess moisture in a crawl space can have serious consequences. Not only can it lead to mold formation, it also increases termite potential and can increase the potential for rot in floor joists, cross members, and sub- flooring. Moisture level in wood should be less than 20%. In high humidity areas, that number can easily exceed 30%. To maintain safe moisture levels, experts recommend a plastic moisture barrier on the ground in combination with a vent fan such as the Eliminator. How it works 1. The Eliminator is attached to any standard foundation vent, and then wired to a 120v source. 2. Optional de-humidistat is placed in center of crawl space area. 3. When temperature in crawl space exceeds 50oF and/or when humidity exceeds de-humidistat setting, the Eliminator is engaged. 4. Moist air and radon gases are pulled from crawl space and replaced with fresh, outside air. 5. When thermostat or de-humidistat are satisfied, the Eliminator is deactivated.
