Drain Installation
The Santa Fe Rx generates condensate. A 20' condensate hose comes attached to the unit. Be sure the hose is not kinked
or otherwise restricted so water can pass through the hose freely. If a drain is not convenient, a small hole can be drilled
through the floor or wall to access a drain or outside. If the Santa Fe Rx is located too far from the floor drain and the pro-
vided hose does not reach, the hose can be extended. It should, however, be extended with a hose of larger inner diameter
(1/4” I.D. or greater) to avoid overloading the pump. Be sure the extension is at a down-word slope to the drain. Larger
diameter hose is available from the factory or may be purchased from many hardware stores. If the hose can not be routed
to a drain or outside, a reservoir container with an overflow switch can be used.
If the hose is routed outside, it must exit the building with a downward slant. This will allow the water in the hose to drain
from it when the pump shuts off, preventing it from freezing.
The Santa Fe Rx is equipped with a condensate pump to remove the water that is condensed during dehumidification. This
allows the water to be discharged to a distant location, or to be pumped up to 15’ above the Santa Fe Rx. Pump failure
will cause the unit to stop dehumidifying via a safety switch.
