store . No response back from DALE.



Is it only drawing air from upstairs in the house? What's the temp and
humidity there? It won't be lower humidity than that and if it's say
78F temp upstairs and 60F in the basement, then the humidity in the
basement will be higher than that upstairs as the air cools. The system
relies on pulling conditioned air from upstairs into the basement while
pushing basement air outside. It also depends on how it's installed.
I would think that if you had the exhaust on one end of the basement,
the air coming from upstairs at the opposite end, it would work well.
If you have the exhaust at one end and the air from upstairs coming
down close by, it will just be sucking air from upstairs and pushing it
outside, not doing much to change the humidity in the rest of the basement.
