I live with my sister in a beautiful apartment in her basement. I was thinking of putting this between the room that houses the water heater & my living room. Do you think it would work?

Yes it would. My office survived a very crazy storm. I used two of these though. You might want to pour water on it so it swells up first (because you are not using it outdoor).

It might help. It absorbs the water first, then becomes a barrier. If you are using it to prevent flooding of your living room, it might help. If there isn't anywhere else for the water to go, it isn't going to stop a flood.

My opinion is that I think it would work... I actually have it setup in my basement as a precaution.

I think it would be fine for that purpose. It comes rather flat, before it may actually need to be used, and so wouldn't be a hazard to step over. If it's unseen behind a door, for that 'just in case,' it should work well.

This unit heats things around it. In the basement where you have cold floors and walls I don't think you would be happy. It has trouble in the basement.

Possible, it would depend on how much access you (room) have below the floor line of the current installation,or you could install it on the return duct work which would be be at the top of the heater. if you do it this way and have central AC be sure to shut all water connections to the humidifier before you use the AC, or you will cause ice to build up on the AC coil, not a good thing. I suggest you contact a professional for final installation, as I can not and have not seen how your heater is installed, good luck:

Physically this should work, however, the wall between the garage and the rest of a house is likely fire-rated, and installing this between the house and garage will also likely negate that fire-rate-ability. -greg frohring

The flow from my sink is pretty restricted, but the water is hot. It might work, but to be on the safe side, I'd go up the next bigger heater, assuming that you have access to the right amount of power.

Yes, but it will deplete the oxygen in the air and in too small of a room since it is not vented. Therefore it should not be used as a sole source of heat in a living area. Is fine for basements, garages and emergency heat.

I've never looked into it. It would only work in the bedrooms. There is no doors or separation in my utility room, kitchen, living room and dining room. It is not a big enough unit to cool that large of an area. However, if there were doors separating these room, it is feasible to roll it around.

It is my understanding that this type of heater should not be used in a tightly enclosed space like a basement, for fear of carbon monoxide build up. I know it is safe for a garage where there is more ventilation.

Absolutely not as long as the rooms are connected. The air that is dehumidified will act as a sponge and draw in the moist humid air from the adjacent rooms. They do sell a duct kit which serves as a way for you to operate the dehumidifier in an area outside of your living space for aestethic purposes. If you have a finished basement with a utility area, you can mount the dehumidifier behind the wall and duct it in to the living space. I have done that very thing myself and it is a fantastic way to permanently install the unit. When deciding on placement keep in consideration that the dehumidifier must drain into either a sump pit or a condensation pump close to your central air system.

Hi there. Yes, from my personal experience, I have one unit on 2nd floor, 1st floor and basement in my home. Hope this helps.

Probably not since there is some output of heat. Probably best to locate it in your basement, (if you have one) below where the sink and dishwasher are and then the heat can circulate freely and dissipate.

If you are putting it in the basement it would be fine. No suitable for the bedroom or living room if noise is a concern. It does work good and as a large dehumidifier the noise is acceptable.

Thank you for your question! This product is designed to be used in the confinements of your home, and may not be effective for your situation.

Hi Tom. You certainly can install this heater under the sink toekick space, but if it is possible I would suggest installing it under an adjacent cabinet as the kickspace heater can get pretty hot when the unit turns on and it can be a bit annoying when someone is trying to wash dishes or load/unload the dishwasher!

I have mine hanging in the basement, so definitely fine for inside. We have it connected to a ceiling beam in the basement. I suggest a good 4ft radius around it. If I had the room in a bedroom, it think I would have no problems with having it there. It would probably get a lot more use!

You might want to ask plumber about putting both systems in line, but I'm guessing that it's not the best idea. I'mpretty sure the unit won't fire if you've got 180f going in, but you'd also have 180f coming out - which is enough to burn you, regardless what it does to the unit. Personally, I would keep the two systems separate and install some sort of crossover. But I'd talk to a plumbing/heating professional...
