have some moisture in hard to reach crawl space that is about 100 ft sq x 3 ft deep. How many of these do i need and how close to place to problem?

I'd grab 2, put them in there, and check the humidity indicator card in a week to see how the humidity is doing in there. It's about how long you want to go between having to go back in and "recharge" the desiccant. You could always buy more desiccant so the moisture is being absorbed by more packs, and so each would get full slower, but of course more packs costs more money. Just remember that when the desiccant has absorbed all the moisture it can hold that you can put the desiccant in the oven for a few hours (directions online, and maybe on box, I forget) and bake the moisture out, then reuse the desiccant again! Also note, if you crawl space is relatively closed less moisture will enter over time, which would result in you being more successful at lowering the humidity in there.

I have not found moisture to be a problem at all, but we live in a fairly dry climate. We actually have a humidifier on our furnace. You probably don't need a dehumidifier. I am very satisfied with this product!

It's going in crawl space beneath my house. Is it supposed to hang from the rafters?If so, wouldn't you need more than 80 inches of space? Thank you so much for takingthe time to answer.

probably, the foam has to be between 60 and 80 or 70 and 90 degrees to use. Unless you plan on heating your crawl space, it's probably going to be well below those ranges...

Our 600 kits cover 600 square feet x 1" thick. Calculate the area you are insulating in square feet and multiply it by the thickness of insulation you want in inches and divide by 600. This will tell you the number of 600 kits you need. Sincerely - Mark, Battic Door Energy

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!

I have not had a problem with rain. I do keep them closed during the summer since the humidity would be much higher outside than in the crawl space.

I don't believe this is a good idea. You will notice some moisture without doing this. You may want to contact the manufacturer directly.

Your crawlspace needs to be kept at no higher than 55% humidity. This fan has a humidistat (a switch that activates based on a certain level of humidity).If you set the (variable) switch to 55%, the unit will automatically turn on and stay on, ventilating the crawlspace until the humidity level drops below your setting (in this case, 55%).I hope that helps :)

You are going to need 3-- one at each end and 1 in the middle. Have 3 in a 35' Not too many, as during wet weather all 3 do not even make it through the week before have to recharge. That's in middle Tennessee.

One container should be more than enough. It covers from 80-100 square feet.

Most experts I've spoken to, agree on not covering the entire unit. The cover is designed to keep debris from getting inside, it's not about moisture.

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.

Not sure, mine are on tile floor. But you shouldn't have a moisture problem if your using them indoors with AC or if using in a garage just get a dehumidifier.

The crawl space vent opening is pretty small, I guess the answer is if you are thin enough to fit now, you will, but my guess is a no! you will need a different way to get under your home so may be talk to some builders.

I haven't but as long as you have the height shouldn't be an issue! Only thing you might want too consider is a unit that exhausts out of the front instead of upwards? The reason I say that is if your crawl space isn't much higher than the unit it self. The amperage on the motor will be higher and shorten the life of the unit. Hope I helped something to consider.

moisture is not a problem. I am more concerned with spills and such. One story home do not need sound barrier or anything like that.
