If I have 4 rooms in the basement, do I have to install 4 units or 1 unit can take care of entire basement?

Since unit evacuates the gas from under the floor 1 unit Sould do it but you need to retest

One unit should be fine..but without knowing your radon levels and other factors noone can provide you a concrete answer

One unit is fine if you follow instructions to seal any cracks or gaps in concrete floor, and where floor joins the wall. Key is having one location to draw any radon gas to, and then draw that out of the home. I believe multiple units would only mess with the air flow...you want one "hole" in your floor to suck/draw the gas out of.

Yes. That's the typical installation. I ran 4 fans off of one switch and dehumidistat.

We only use it in the basement and have never tried for the whole house. It is a full basement, thought and it does a great job.

Hmmmm.....I'm not sure. I have a large unit in my bedroom, and a smaller unit in my front room. They pretty much handle the whole first floor of my home. I don't use the upstairs, so it's not necessary to have a unit there. I will tell you, both rooms have cold air returns, and the units are close to them. My house is VERY old. I used to have to dust daily....now, maybe once a week. When the dust starts to build up faster, I know it's time to check the filters. I have a huge German Shepherd, so I vacuum the filters twice a month.I have 2 bedrooms, a very large front room, and a very large kitchen on my first floor. I also have severe allergies. The two units are perfect! Hope that helps. Hmmmm.....I'm not sure. I have a large unit in my bedroom, and a smaller unit in my front room. They pretty much handle the whole first floor of my home.

I don't think there is a good answer to this question. If you need to run more than a couple of these in one house, you have much bigger issues than power supply. These things are very safe and efficient by themselves, but you're asking for trouble in any case. Maybe you would be better off putting the money toward a new furnace or some better weatherproofing? You'll save a fortune in electricity in the long run.

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.

Yes, I bought two units..one for the main floor and one for the 2nd floor of my house. You program the new bell the same way with the bell buttons. I am considering buying a third set for the basement also. Al

I do not recall how many units you can use, but it is definitely many. (with auto-transfer/zero-passing) Unless this place is made of steel and concrete however, you will likely need very few. The building I have them in is brick and steel. 1 unit covers nearly the whole first floor and some of the second. They are very strong.

Yes, ours has two parent units. The range is in the specs. We use it in a 2 story house with a basement and have never had an issue.

I would get at least 2. Remember, you have to have a water source and drain for each unit. Mine is hooked up throughout washer. You can also hook them up to the toilet. Hope this helps!

You can use just 2 in smaller areas. You can use all 4 in a larger area, or use 2 in one area and 2 in another area.

At least 2. I'd start with one on each floor or end of the house, observe, and gage the possible need for a third. Might be fine. I've had one unit work for 2 cats without issue, and the more cats you have, the more frequent you can set the cleaning cycle. Since its not usable while it's "flushing" though, you'll definitely need 2.

Yes, I believe you can. When I had it installed, my tenant mentioned that it ran all the time for about a month. Turns out, he and the plumber had left the main pump unplugged from when it was installed. The base pump saved my basement. One downside however, the vacuum breaker does have a bit of a drip when activated. Just a few drops but if it runs a lot, that adds up to a lot of water. If you account for that in the pumping, you should be good. Not sure about wear duty.

I put mine in basement bolted to concrete floor. My thinking was if you have a house fire..if safe is on ground floor it may get covered if 1st floor collapses down on it...but you would know exact area of safe. If mounted on second floor...you may have to search for it. It gives you instructions on how to bolt to wood or concrete or you can look up instructions online. I am sure people bolt to wood/laminate flooring....people that live in apartments do not have a concrete floor.

You only need one of these devices per phone number or phoneline. One unit will protect all phones and or extensions on a phoneline. Regards,

The size of the floors and number of floors don't have much to do with it ! What counts is the amount of amperage produced by the generator and if that is enough to power all the lights and appliances you wish to operate at the same time. My home is approx. 1600 Sq. Ft. with a full basement . When I run my generator, I shut off my heat pump and run gas logs. I shut off my electric water heater and do not use my electric oven . I seem to have plenty of power to run my water well and everything else. I have used mu generator on numerous occasions and am really happy with my investment.
