Santa Fe Impact155 Dehumidifier

Description

Powerful Moisture Control for Large Basements & Crawl Spaces. The Santa Fe Impact155 is designed to tackle excess moisture in large basements and crawl spaces, covering up to 4,000 square feet. At AHAM-rated conditions (80°F, 60% humidity), it removes up to 155 pints of moisture per day. When humidity reaches full saturation at 100%, its capacity doubles to an impressive 310 pints per day.

Features

The Santa Fe Impact155 features a patented dual-air distribution system that releases dry air from both sides, ensuring balanced humidity control throughout the space. Its horizontal design makes it an ideal fit for crawl spaces and basements where space is limited. Built in Madison, WI, this durable, heavy-duty dehumidifier is backed by a six-year warranty and designed for long-term performance in tough environments.

Energy efficiency is another key benefit. The Impact155 removes 7.3 pints of moisture per kilowatt-hour and has an energy factor of 3.4 L/kWh, making it one of the most cost-effective dehumidifiers in its class. Humidity control is straightforward with three easy-to-adjust settings—dry, normal, and humid—allowing users to select the ideal moisture level for their space. If a power outage occurs, the unit automatically restarts using the previous settings.

Industry-Leading 6-Year Warranty

Santa Fe offers an upgraded warranty to provide long-term reliability and peace of mind. This includes five years of coverage for operational failures and six years of protection against faulty components. If an issue arises, Santa Fe will either repair or replace the unit. Full warranty details can be found in the Owner’s Manual.

Designed to Fit Your Needs

With its horizontal design, the Santa Fe Impact155 fits easily into tight spaces. It can be placed in finished or unfinished basements, crawl spaces, or storage areas, offering a flexible installation to suit different needs.

Ducting Options for Customized Use

The dehumidifier can be used without ducting for whole-room moisture control, or ducted for more targeted airflow. Multi-room ducting allows for even humidity distribution, while directional airflow can be set up to dehumidify one space while directing dry air into another. For crawl spaces, ductwork can be extended to reach the farthest areas, ensuring effective circulation. Ducting kits with 12-inch inlet and 10-inch outlet options are available for additional customization.

Flexible Drainage Options

The Impact155 includes an eight-foot gravity drain hose for simple water removal. For situations where gravity drainage isn’t suitable, an optional condensate pump allows for upward or long-distance water discharge, directing moisture out through a window or around a doorway as needed.

An independent fan control allows users to choose between continuous air circulation or fan operation only when the unit is actively removing moisture. The built-in MERV 13 air filter captures particles as small as one micron, keeping the air clean while enhancing the unit’s efficiency. A MERV 11 filter is also available for slightly less intensive filtration. The dehumidifier operates effectively in temperatures ranging from 49°F to 95°F.

• Fan Control: A fan control switch allows for continuous fan operation or operation only when the unit is actively removing moisture from the air.

• MERV 13 Air Filter: A pleated MERV 13 air filter cleans the air as it enters the unit. This filter captures particles as small as 1 micron in size and helps the dehumidifier works more efficiently. To replace MERV 13 filters, you can find them here. For slightly less efficient air filtration, you can add the MERV 11 filter. 

• Gravity Drainage: Simply attach the included 8-foot drain hose to the unit and route to a drain.

• Wide Temperature Range: This crawl space dehumidifier operates efficiently in temperatures down to 49 degrees F and up to 95 degrees F.

• Auto Restart: It automatically starts back at your previous settings after a power outage.

How It Works

The Santa Fe Impact155 uses an advanced two-coil system to efficiently remove moisture from the air. Humid air enters the unit and passes over the first evaporator coil, where it is cooled below the dew point, causing moisture to condense and collect for drainage. The now-dried air is then reheated and released from both sides of the unit for even distribution, ensuring balanced humidity control. This dual-air distribution system enables faster and more effective moisture removal, helping prevent mold, mildew, and excessive humidity in large spaces. For homeowners and professionals looking for a high-capacity, energy-efficient dehumidifier with long-term durability, the Santa Fe Impact155 is a powerful solution designed to deliver exceptional performance.

How to Set Up a Drain Trap for Your Santa Fe Dehumidifier

To ensure optimal performance and prevent backflow, Santa Fe recommends setting up a drain trap when installing any of its horizontal dehumidifiers, including this model (formerly known as the Max Dry Dual XT). A properly installed drain trap helps prevent air from flowing back through the hose, which can cause water to back up into the unit.

In addition to protecting the system from unwanted moisture buildup, a drain trap also helps prevent leaks from forming at the corners of the unit. Setting one up is simple—use the included drain hose or opt for a separate PVC trap for a more customized setup.
