ABESTORM SNS100 Pint Commercial Dehumidifier Pump
About Abestorm
Abestorm Crawl Space NeatyFresh Max allows for the free circulation of air on the porch and under the house. High moisture levels in the crawl spaces can lead to the decay and rot of wooden pillars that support the house, floor, joists, and beam pillars.
Also, high humidity causes an increase in termite activity and the growth of fungi. Rust, which causes corrosion and leaks in metallic pipes, is also factored into the moisture level in your crawl space.
With our ventilation fan, radon gas from treated wood is expelled away. This gas and other odors can easily spread into the living room and cause discomfort.
The NeatyFresh Max fan uses a humidity switch to control the fan to commence operation. The fan starts operating when the recorded humidity surpasses the selected value.
Important Notes
- Always connect your dehumidifier using a grounded electrical connection (as required for all electrical appliances). The use of non-grounded wiring will void the warranty.
- Your dehumidifier should only be repaired by a qualified technician.
- Do not use the dehumidifier in standing water. If there is a chance that the dehumidifier has been flooded, unplug the unit, remove the cover, and allow it to dry completely before proceeding.
- Do not insert objects or your fingers into the inlet or discharge.
- Do not use water to clean the exterior of the dehumidifier. To clean the unit, unplug from the power, then use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior.
- Please do not stand on a dehumidifier or place objects on it.
- Do not use an extension cord or plug adapter.
- Unless otherwise noted, all maintenance should be done with the unit powered off.
How It Works
Abestorm dehumidifiers use an integrated humidistat to monitor the conditioned space. When the relative humidity goes above the selected setpoint, the dehumidifier will energize.
Air is then drawn across an evaporator coil, which is cooler than the dew point of air. This means moisture will condense out of the air. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.
Installation Requirements
- The area where the dehumidifier is located should be sealed with a vapor barrier.
- All vents should be sealed if the unit is installed in a crawl space.
- For proper ventilation, neither the inlet nor the discharge should be positioned against a wall.
- The inlet needs a minimum of 6′ clearance and the discharge requires a minimum of 6′ clearance.
- For better use of the dehumidifier, both air inlet and air outlet should be facing the open area of the space.
- Abestorm dehumidifiers are only intended for operation when the unit is upright and level with the feet on the ground.
Key Functions
Power Key
- Use this button to turn the dehumidifier on and off.
- Press once to turn the machine on. You will hear one beep and the f, light will illuminate green (solid or flashing depending on mode).
- Press the power button a second time and you will hear one beep as the machine shuts down. Note that there is a 1-minute fan delay.
Arrow Buttons
- Use the up and down arrow buttons to set the desired humidity setpoint on the display screen. 88
- The set point can be any number between 36%-90%. When the indoor humidity is higher than the setpoint, the unit will operate.
- Remember that the displayed humidity levels are approximate (+/-5%).
Continuous Mode
- To set the unit to run continuously regardless of humidity, simply use the down arrow key to set the humidity below 36%.
- The continuous light will illuminate green and the display will show “CO”.
- To switch back to normal humidistat operation, use the arrow keys to move the setpoint above 36%.
Manual Drain Button
- If you need to store or move your dehumidifier, press the “Drain” button to remove water from the integral numn’s reservoir.
Remote Control Instructions
Abestorm Dehumidifiers can be controlled using an optional remote accessory. The remote connects to your dehumidifier via a 25′ CAT 5 cable, with the integrated sensor giving you multiple options for monitoring surrounding conditions.
- Example #1- Install the dehumidifier in the laundry room and duct it into the living room. Mount the remote in the living room and use the remote sensor.
- Example #2- Install the dehumidifier in your crawl space with the remote mounted in your garage.
NOTE: The symbols indicated below only show when the remote is powered on. 
- On/Off (Power) Button Press the on/off button and the machine will start running (two beeps). Press the button again to turn the machine off.
- Up Button/ Down Button Use the up and down arrows to adjust the humidity level.

FAQs About ABESTORM SNS100 Pint Commercial Dehumidifier Pump
How does a dehumidifier sold in stores operate?
How does a commercial dehumidifier function? The majority of industrial dehumidifiers draw air in using a fan and then let it pass over cooling coils or another cold surface. As the air cools, moisture condenses and drips into a container at the unit’s base. Lastly, a fan circulates and reheats the dry air.
Do dehumidifiers sold in stores last longer?
An industrial-grade dehumidifier typically lasts nine to eleven years. However, an appliance’s lifespan can be extended even further with proper care.
How quickly does a dehumidifier function?
How Much Time Does a Dehumidifier Need to Dry Up a Room? How long it takes a dehumidifier to dry out a room depends on several factors, including its size, humidity level, and degree of water damage. For a dehumidifier to fully dry out a space, it usually takes 24 to 72 hours.
Are dehumidifiers water pumps?
When the drainage line is connected, dehumidifiers without an integrated pump rely on gravity or drainage into a bucket. Dehumidifiers that have pumps enable water to drain without relying on gravity; when needed, the water will flow upward.
When is it okay to turn off a commercial dehumidifier at night?
A: Industrial dehumidifiers are made to run continuously. It’s safe and efficient to leave them on overnight because they maintain constant moisture management while you sleep.
How long does a commercial dehumidifier last?
While dehumidifiers are designed to withstand extreme conditions, industrial and institutional dehumidifiers typically last nine to eleven years. Usually, maintaining an aging machine is more expensive than just getting a new dehumidifier.
When does a dehumidifier stop functioning due to temperature?
The unit will turn off if the outside temperature rises above 95°F or falls below 41°F.
What is the daily pint amount of dehumidifier?
“Aim for a dehumidifier rated to remove 40 or more pints of water per day if you have a large wet area that is saturated with rainwater.” You might probably get away with a unit that is rated to remove 30 pints per day or less for leaks that caused little more than a modest amount of interior dampness,” he advises.
Do dehumidifiers provide any cooling?
A dehumidifier draws moisture out of the air and then returns dried hot air that circulates throughout your space, naturally heating and cooling the air as it does so. This process of warming is most apparent in humid, moist rooms with higher relative humidity, which will feel less comfortable.
Do dehumidifiers sold in stores function?
Can damp problems be resolved with a commercial dehumidifier? By eliminating moisture from the air, commercial dehumidifiers aid in the drying out of damp areas. For example, a dehumidifier would aid in drying out the area if a building was flooded. However, damp-proofing techniques could also be required.
