Our 10+ year-old Whirlpool portable dehumidifier in action. Condensate is collected in a bucket in the slop sink.

The “guts” of the Whirlpool dehumidifier. The coils are perfectly functional (if a bit dirty).

The Onset Hobo datalogger (model #MX1101) in our basement is centrally located. 

The Kill A Watt meter shows the power draw (operating wattage) for the Whirlpool dehumidifier.

The new Santa Fe Advance 100 dehumidifier installed in the same location in our basement above the slop sink. Note the Santa Fe Connect monitor with attached wire (installed just to the left of the Santa Fe logo on the unit). I later moved the monitor further away from the unit to get a more representative temperature reading. Note also the trap loop in the clear plastic condensate line, as recommended in the manufacturer's installation instructions.

This is an example of the iPhone readout for the Santa Fe Connect. You can operate your Advance 100 dehumidifier from this app. The weather in the upper right is updated every 30 minutes. To refresh the rest of the screen, you just swipe downwards on the iPhone.
