Santa Fe Ultra70 Whole House Dehumidifier

Description

The Santa Fe Ultra70 is the first compact, high-efficiency, whole house ventilating dehumidifier designed to fit in tight, low-clearance applications. The Santa Fe Ultra70 removes up to 70 pints per day, exceeds Department of Energy standards and provides effective air filtration (MERV-13). The Santa Fe Ultra70 is ideal for a small home, condo, or apartment applications. The Santa Fe Ultra70 has an innovative cabinet design that easily converts to either vertical or horizontal airflow discharge which allows for easier installation in tight spaces. Flexible airflow configurations allow the Santa Fe Ultra70 to be installed in locations where other dehumidifiers don’t fit due to duct issues and size constraints. Optional fresh outdoor air may be ducted to the unit via a “T” to the inlet duct. This provides fresh air to dilute pollutants and maintain a normal oxygen content in the air. The amount of fresh air ventilation can be regulated by a variety of dampers and controls.

Features

The Ultra-Aire 70H Dehumidifier is designed to effectively remove up to 70 pints of moisture per day, making it ideal for homes up to 1,800 square feet. Whether you live in a smaller home, condominium, or apartment, this unit helps maintain a comfortable, dry environment. Its ducted design allows seamless integration with your existing HVAC system and ductwork, ensuring whole-home humidity control. Thanks to its versatile cabinet design, the unit can be installed with either vertical or horizontal airflow discharge, making it easier to fit into tight spaces. Now featuring R454B refrigerant, the Ultra70 is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than previous models. For flexible installation, this unit can be placed in a basement, crawl space, attic, closet, or mechanical room, providing powerful moisture control wherever it’s needed most.

Engineered for Tight Spaces

The Ultra70 is the first compact, high-efficiency, whole-house ventilating dehumidifier designed specifically for low-clearance areas. Its smartly designed outer cabinet allows for flexible airflow discharge, giving you the option to set it up either vertically or horizontally to best suit your space.Measuring just 12 x 12 x 28 inches, this dehumidifier is built for easy installation in places where traditional models may not fit due to ducting challenges, space limitations, or accessibility concerns. Whether you're dealing with a cramped mechanical room or a tricky basement layout, the Ultra70 is designed to adapt.

Energy Efficiency You Can Count On.                   

Designed for maximum performance with minimal energy use, this dehumidifier consumes 15% less energy while removing more moisture than comparable models. Its advanced refrigeration coil, high-efficiency compressor, and optimized fan work together to deliver powerful dehumidification while keeping energy consumption low. With a maximum power draw of just 5.1 amps, it achieves an impressive moisture removal energy factor of 2.4 liters per kilowatt-hour, helping you save on energy costs without sacrificing effectiveness.

Upgraded 6-Year Warranty 

Manufacturers have announced that Santa Fe dehumidifiers now have an upgraded warranty that guarantees performance and customer satisfaction for up to six years. 

This industry-leading “Peace of Mind” warranty covers all Santa Fe dehumidifiers manufactured after January 1, 2024, with a 5-year warranty against operational failures and a 6-year warranty for faulty components.

In the unlikely event of a unit breakdown, Santa Fe will replace or repair the affected unit. However, customers should consult their Owner’s Manual for detailed information about their warranty’s terms and conditions.

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 DigitalController—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. 

Condensate Pump Kit Available: Attach an external condensate pump to drain condensate upward or across longer distances to a nearby drain.

MERV 13 Air Filtration: Captures harmful allergens and particles and keeps the unit running at peak efficiency. This filter needs to be replaced every 3 months. You can find MERV 13 replacement filters here or choose the less-restrictive Santa Fe MERV 11 filter.

Optional MERV 14 Filter Available: You can add a MERV 14 filter to improve air filtration. The MERV 14 filter is 90-95% efficient in removing particles between 0.3 and 1 micron.

Low-Temperature Operation: Operates in temperatures as low as 49 degrees F and includes an auto defrost function to automatically melt frost build-up in chilly conditions.

Long Power Cord: A 9-foot power cord helps make installation options more flexible.

Made in the USA: All Ultra-Aire products are made in the USA with quality components by Wisconsin-based Therma-Stor.
