Santa Fe Ultra98

Description

The Santa Fe Ultra100 is a 98-pint whole-home dehumidifier designed for complete environmental control. With dedicated ducting options and HVAC integration, it’s ideal for spaces up to 2,300 sq. ft. This unit delivers premium moisture protection and ventilation flexibility, all powered by energy-efficient performance and MERV-13 filtration.

The most energy efficient whole-house ventilating Dehumidifier in the 90–100 pint category. The Santa Fe Ultra98 is designed to deliver exceptional indoor air quality by providing dedicated moisture control, fresh air mechanical ventilation and superior air filtration (MERV-13) to the entire home. 

The unit features an extremely well-insulated, compact horizontal cabinet (optional vertical discharge) for the ultimate in quiet operation. Optional fresh outdoor air may be ducted to the unit. This provides fresh air to dilute pollutants and maintain high oxygen content in the air. The amount of fresh air ventilation can be regulated by a variety of dampers and controls.  

Engineered and assembled in America, this trusted Ultra Series dehumidifier works with HVAC systems. It can be used in crawl spaces, basements, mechanical rooms, and other areas up to 2,300 square feet.

Features

The Highest Efficiency: The Ultra98 is more energy-efficient than previous models. It removes 98 pints of moisture while drawing 5.9 amps and maintaining a 2.95 energy factor. Additionally, this model has received an Energy Star rating for its performance. With these specifications, the 98H is now considered the most energy-efficient 90-100-pint dehumidifier on the market.

Small Cabinet Design: At 19.5 in. H, 14.5 in. W, and 32.375 in. D, the 98H is compact enough to match multiple installations. The outer housing also now features rounded edging.

Trusted Design: Santa Fe is a trusted name in air quality and dehumidification. This American-made product has a 6-year warranty. 

Whole Home Dehumidifying: The Ultra98 Dehumidifier ties directly into your home's ductwork to reduce humidity. It’s rated to remove 98 pints of damaging moisture daily in AHAM conditions (80 degrees F, 60 percent relative humidity) and is designed to service up to 2,300 square feet. Popular installation options include a basement, crawl space, attic, closet, or mechanical room.

Low-Clearance, Ultra-Quiet Design for Maximum Flexibility. Designed with innovation in mind, this dehumidifier is built to fit seamlessly into low-clearance spaces where traditional models might not work. Its versatile outer cabinet allows for easy airflow conversion, giving you the option to discharge air either vertically or horizontally with just a few simple adjustments. This makes installation more adaptable, even in tight or challenging areas. Unlike bulkier units that struggle with ducting limitations, size constraints, or tricky maintenance access, this model is engineered to work where others can’t. It also features an ultra-quiet operation, thanks to a well-insulated cabinet and an advanced impeller system that significantly reduces noise—providing powerful moisture control without disruption.

Quiet Operation: Santa Fe product engineers added insulation inside the dehumidifier cabinet and a low-noise impeller to further reduce operating noise.

R454B Refrigerant: The Ultra98 now uses R454B refrigerant, which is more energy-efficient and environmentally safe than previous formulations.

Includes Transformer Protection: The 98H has a 24-volt reset button to prevent damage to your 24-volt transformer if low-voltage wires are crossed.

Low-Temperature Operation: The 98H dehumidifier operates in temperatures as low as 49 degrees F and includes an auto defrost function to melt frost build-up in chilly conditions automatically.

Long Power Cord: This unit has a 9-foot power cord, which helps make installation options more flexible.

Engineered in the USA: Wisconsin-based Therma-Stor engineers and assembles all Santa Fe Ultra Series whole-house ventilating dehumidifiers in the USA using quality components.

Additional Upgrades and Accessories

Condensate Pump Available: This dehumidifier is designed to gravity drain collected condensate. However, if you prefer, you can attach an external condensate pump to customize a draining system that can drain condensate upward or across longer distances to a nearby drain. The Santa Fe Condensate Pump Kit Accessory is sold separately.

 

MERV 13 Air Filtration: The system comes standard with a MERV-13 air filter, which captures harmful allergens and particles and keeps the unit running at peak efficiency. This filter needs to be replaced every three months. You can replace your Santa Fe MERV 13 Filter here.

 

Remote Humidity Controller Options

This dehumidifier must be controlled by a remote dehumidistat controller, which is sold separately. Therma-Stor offers several options. All the control units below are wired directly to the Ultra Series unit using 24-volt pigtail wiring.

 

DEH 3000 Digital Controller: The DEH 3000 is an all-digital controller that allows you to monitor and control humidity, manage fresh air ventilation, and activate air filtration for the unit from your living space. This control also allows you to run the fan continuously instead of only when the unit is in dehumidifying mode.

 

DEH3000R Digital Controller: The DEH 3000R is similar to the DEH 3000 but also features a remote sensor that can be placed up to 100 feet away from the controller. This sensor lets you control and monitor humidity conditions separately, keeping the wall-mounted controller out of sight.

FAQs

What is the most common problem in basements?

Moisture is the most common problem in basements. Excess moisture leads to mold growth, and mold growth leads to property damage, bad indoor air quality, increased odors from off-gassing of mold spores, and damage to items stored in the basement.

Why do I need to control moisture in my crawl space?

Excess moisture, introduced by way of unsealed, vented crawl spaces, contributes to wood rot, mold growth and increased pest activity, including infestation and colonization. Moisture in crawl spaces often migrates to the upper levels of the home through a “stack effect.”

Why should I buy a Santa Fe dehumidifier?

Energy Efficient. Large capacity. Commercial quality. Designed to show moisture who’s boss. Reliability. Superior Filtration (MERV-13). These are the reason you can’t go wrong with buying a Santa Fe dehumidifier. Oh, and an industry-leading warranty.

Where do musty odors in my home come from?

Musty odors are typically a result of high humidity levels in the crawl space and basement. This polluted air below the house will eventually move to the rest of the house, carrying musty odors and other contaminates. Specifically, musty odors in your home come from the off-gassing of mold spores when they feed on organic materials. Solve the moisture problem and you will solve your mold problem.

How does wood rot occur in a home?

Wood rot in floor joists and support piers occurs when the moisture content is above the fiber saturation point, which is about 27-28% wood moisture content.

What pests cause damage to a home? 

The top 8 common pests that can cause damage to a home are: termites, carpenter ants, powder post beetles (aka powder beetles), carpet beetles, cigarette beetles, grain weevils, house mice, and Norway rats.

Does poor air quality affect your health?  

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, health problems associated with poor indoor air quality include eye irritation, allergies, headaches and respiratory problems such as asthma. These problems can be directly related to the presence of mold and dust mite infestation in the home. One of the recognized solutions to addressing these health issues is effective moisture control.

Can I have high humidity in my home? 

High humidity can greatly affect your comfort by causing you to feel either hot and sticky or cold and clammy, especially in your basement, while also contributing to smelly, musty odors in the home. Musty odors come from off-gassing of mold spores when they feed on organic materials. Solve the moisture problem and you will move your mold problem.

Are Santa Fe dehumidifiers energy efficient?

All Santa Fe dehumidifiers exceed Department of Energy standards. When you see our logos, you know that you are purchasing a dehumidifier with superior energy efficiency that will help you save money. Our dehumidifiers are built to remove more moisture using the same amount of energy as conventional units.

 Where does moisture in a home come from?

There are three main sources of moisture in your home: the first source is leaks, the second is diffusion through materials, and the third is internally generated moisture.

What is stack effect? 

Stack effect is the movement of warm, dry air rising and escaping through the upper levels of the home and cooler, wet air finding its way into the lower levels in order for the home to equalize.

What factors should be considered when choosing the capacity of a dehumidifier?

The number one factor to consider when choosing how many pints of water removal you will need for your space is infiltration from the ground below and the air outside – experts say about 95% of the moisture entering a building enters through air infiltration. It’s also important to make sure your basement or crawl space is sealed, as this also is factored in the total size of a space.

Why is air movement important?

Air movement breaks down boundary layers at surfaces, promotes air mixing, reduces stagnant micro-environments and helps convert heat energy to the structural components you want to protect.

What does the Santa Fe six-year warranty cover?

Therma-Stor, LLC (“Therma-Stor”) warrants as follows: (i) Santa Fe dehumidifiers (“Product”) will be free of material defects in workmanship or materials for a period of 5 years (“Five-Year Warranty”) following the date of initial purchase of such Product by an original customer purchasing from Therma-Stor or an authorized reseller (“Customer”); and (ii) the Product’s components will be free of material defects in workmanship or materials for a period of six (6) years following the date of initial purchase of such Product by a Customer. 

Why ventilate?

The purpose of ventilating a home is to maintain a healthy and safe living environment.

The reason for the buildup of indoor pollution in today’s homes is a direct result of our efforts to conserve energy and save money. As the techniques and materials used to insulate and seal our homes has improved, the result is stale and polluted air trapped inside.

Common sources of indoor airborne contaminants include:

  • Chemicals used in the construction or renovation of buildings
  • Appliances that burn gas
  • Wood-burning stoves and fireplaces
  • Pets
  • Off-gassing of furniture, cabinets, flooring, and countertops
  • Infiltration of ozone, pollen, and molds from the outside
  • People
  • Cleaning supplies
