Once you install this fan in the basement, unless you have a window open in the basement, it will draw air from upstairs, under the door. You will not believe how well it draws.

In order to get the air to circulate from upstairs to the basement, you need to install a vent grill oprn to the basement area. One way to do this is cut an opening near the basement stairway in the wall and install the vent cover to the open hole. Another way is the cut an opening through the floor somewhere so the air can enter the basement without someone to walk on the open vent grill.

The theory is that it will pull it down to the basement through vent spots such as gaps under doors, open basement door, through the floor, etc. There is no ducting or direct air draws tying the basement to the rest of the house with this system.

What we have done is to leave our basement door open and the dry air naturally gets sucked down with this air exchanger. Our basement used to struggle with a dehumidifier to keep the humidor below 60% and the air still was stale air. With this the air exchanges and we have stopped using a conventional dehumidifier and the air is staying below 40%.

It needs to have flowing air behind it of some kind. We had it with a door cracked behind it. Otherwise your house or room will be dropping in moisture.

You cannot... Just turn it stronger, then your room will not be dry any more

I have the same problem my dryer is in the garage and the duct work is under the slab. How did you configure the set up or place the fan?

This is mainly a Floor Duct Vent as far as I recall. you may need an actual Wall Vent. Good Luck.

There's a 6" tube that will vent out the hot air from the unit. It's ideal if you had a window to let the hot air vent out otherwise it will probably just recirculate the hot air into your living room.

If you have space with higher ceilings, you could use inside. The blower sounds like an old box style fan on high.

in my house i ran the vent threw the floor--however this my not be possible to do in every case--i would suggest going to hardware store and getting enough flexible dryer hose to reach the nearest window--hope this might help

You need to vent it outside so the hot air has somewhere to go. A window is the easiest.

If you do not have an outside vent as I do not you will need about an 8 ft., flexible, dryer duct vent. Hook it up to the back of the dryer and bring it up and over the top or around the side of the dryer. I put mine on top the the dryer and it works great. You could put it on the floor but FYI = there will be wet condensation from the warm dryer air on the floor. Don't want anyone to slip and fall.

Start from the basement and go up. Remember this is a "maintenance type product", not intendedto remove a clog in 20 minutes. It requires patience and time.

Best to use a piece of duct to connect them using some clamps or zip ties i find canister to heavy to directly bolt on to the fan and the ducting quiets it down some and you can also move the canister if necessary.

I used a regular metal dryer exhaust tube. And for the winter months I recycle the hot air with an indoor lint trap found here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RNPOIU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

Hi, Not really. What I can tell you is that, when the unit did work, it kept a 480 sq/ft area comfortable. I would not believe the "vent less" statement. You do need some air exchange otherwise, you start having headaches. I'd find a different way to take the chill off your basement. Also, do not expect any help from ProCom, customer service is non-responsive. I have tried to get some help from them for over a month, I can't get through. You may want to keep that in mind. I hope this helps.

Well I'm going to be honest to be considered 'code' all dryers should vent outside, big or small. They do sell kits that will vent your dryer inside but they are basically just a cup of water which the discharge blows into in hopes the water catches the dust. They don't do the best job at catching dust. Another option would be to get a HEPA rated vacuum bag and cut a hole in it then stick your hose in and duct tape around it until you have a perfect seal. When the bag gets too full just change it with another. Doing this will still dump all the humidity and heat into your living space which may or may not be a problem. Your best option is if you are able to make modifications to your apartment or live in a house then get a contractor to install a proper vent to the outside for you through the wall.

Hello, I have my living air in the basement on low 750 ft. Any higher than that, it travels through out the next level. We don't need it for two levels but it does both if we turn it up. I don't feel a need for a second unit, because it normally does the job in a day or two max and then you can move it to another level. I don't feel the need to run all the time, but you can. I can get rid of kitchen odors,(cooking fondue, or deep fry fish) in normally 8-12 hours and you can't tell you even cooked a thing.
