    Outstanding video! As a fellow DIY homeowner with a crawl space with high humidity, I have a need for such a unit. I just pulled the trigger and ordered the Sentinel HDi65s to replace a DriEaz crawl space dehumidifier that lasted 10+ years. That unit is discontinued and their new replacement was approximately twice the price of this HDi65s with lower review ratings. I had a few questions in my mind about this unit and you literally answered ALL of them! Thanks for this outstanding video!

    Here in upper South Carolina we have Duke Energy but specifically in my neighborhood, the local monopolies won and it's a middle man called Blue Ridge. Same provider (Duke Energy), increased costs, worse net metering, worse peak pricing so that they make sure to profit -___- Made dehumidifying my basement impractical since with peak costs was approaching $550 in the summer months per month. Nice vid tho

    And OBTW….. you might consider 4 in. Dia drain pipes at your downspouts to get water away from your foundation…about 5 feet should be good.

    I would recommend a piece of pipe on the outside to direct the water away from the foundation…..about 5 feet should be enough.

      +Bob Fognozzle these is actually drainage all around the exterior underground so hopefully that handles it well 🤷‍♂️

    Hi, thanks for the information. Looking to also get a dehumidifier for my crawl space 80% RH. Looks like it has been about 1 month since you posted the video. Can you please let me know if the humidity ever come down to 60 %? That's.

      @@HelpMeDIY thanks. Going to get it then. Since encapsulation cost upward of 15k. I have sealed all the vents and installed 1 exhaust fan to prevent Radon gas from the soil.

    Did you seal your vents too? Without sealing it seems like a losing battle to continuously dehumidify circulating air that would run the electric bill way up.

    I have about 3 to 4 feet of crawlspace under my home. Square footage is about 1900sqft. Will this model be large enough to take care of the humidity problem?

    So I don't really need the "gravity" hose if I just use the pump drain hose? Then I can just run the pump hose outside? Am i understanding this correctly?

    I am sorry for being so ignorant but I have another question. I don't have any standing water issues under my house, but I do have humidity issues which cause mold. Is all I need to do is have the hose connected that moves the condensation caused from the humid conditions, from under the house to the outside? Sorry about the crappy sentence structure. :)
