Our contractor put this model in our crawlspace where we had moisture problem. It works well, but am unable to see our get to the controls due to the confined space. My question is, can I place it on its back so I can get access to the controls? We are...

You cannot it on its back is a refrigerator you will burn up the motor. Dig out the crawl space to accommodate.

I am recalling something here that does not concern me in that my application was in a crawl space but my understanding from the mnfr. that it must be within a water tight tube or pipe. I found an installation document at the site http://www.proflexcsst.com. The tubing is stainless steel but really thin and vulnerable to mechanical damage.

Can't say for sure, but this fan draws air in from the sides. It would probably depend on the size of the crawl space. It does have the ability to move a LOT of air, though. I'd be concerned for overheating if space is tight. I have, however, been surprised about how cool the air is coming out of the fan when it's placed next to an open door with warmer/humid air as its intake source!

Dear Carl,SentrySafe provides tools to fix this safe to the wall. It will be from the back to what I noticed. I did not see any provision for fixing it to the floor.Thank you,B. M.

I never have but mine is in a space that I never had to think about that. You might need to figure something out to make the base more visible for you. Maybe you could post a picture of where you have this, so people could help you with some ideas?

According to other posters you will have needed to seat the rear temperature-control unit correctly; the unit won't turn on if it's been mis-seated.Of course I've just ordered this myself, so we'll see if that's accurate. :P---SIX MONTHS LATERIt does appear as if the heating unit can be flakey when seated. I had an issue where it was "unseating" itself when the unit reached high temperature.However, upon a thorough cleaning the issue went away. YMMV.

I have never heard of one being installed in a crawl space but unless your placement was quite close to a drain or the outside where you could use the built in pump to discharge the condensation you would have the big problem of increasing the dampness in the crawl space & you sure don't want that.

Yes, it should work in your crawl space provided it is a relatively open area. Obstacles will limit its effective range. It is likely a big enough area that you will need more than one pest chaser. You can experiment with how many you need. Keep the pest chaser and the electric cord dry. Good luck! Charlie

The company advertises that this device can be used in a garage area, so a crawl space should be ok, but i would recommend contacting the company directly just to make sure. Its an electrical device, so it should always be kept dry. http://www.victorpest.com/store/mouse-control/ultrasonics?gclid=CKXsqZ7Ci7YCFYje4AodMkoAyg

The pump won't remove the moisture. You'd need a dehumidifier for that. But if you did put small dehumidifier in crawl space and drain it into the pump it could pump the water to a nearby drain.

No I did not place it in any cramped space. I placed it in the middle of a small room. The first heating stage still works but I cannot put it in the high heat position as it will blow my breaker. Also the oscillator stopped working immediately all together with.

You would probably have to pick it up, but yes. I would steam curtains from the back. Mine only lasted a year though. Replaced it with a Conair. Puts out much more steam.

There is a vacuum operated door in the A/C-Heater box. I have found 2 different problems. 1) broken vacuum line or low vacuum. 2) The spilter.door has broken or is stuck. If anything drops in the box like candy, toys exc. The door will stick. If you replaced the actuator. Yes the controller could be bad. But first. Unplug it. Clean the connectors, then plug it back in and test it. I have run across bad connections. It that works. I would use dielectric

I have it installed in my partial above ground basement in NC. It needs a way to be installed so it can vent outside. One of my neighbors there has it installed in their crawl space.

It was made specifically for a crawlspace to pull out the humidity. It does not have a temperature gauge. I turned the controller dial just enough until it turned the fan on. You may set it as high as you like depending on the humidity in your crawlspace. There are fans made specifically for attics.

It has magnates at its base to keep it in place over the vent. If the wood register doesn't have enough metal at the edges, the magnates won't be able to hold the deflector in place but it could just sit there if there isn't any traffic around it.

The unit works ok, Do have a problem with harder wood "apple wood". I feel like 7tons of preasure should have 0 problems. I am a little confused with why the manual has the vent opened while running and air in the hydraulic lines? Thought process of how hydraulics work might be wrong but I thought you didn't want air because it compresses? Also when it does start to struggle, even a little, the motor immediately dies, Is this a tunning issue or a malfunction?
