WAVE Ventilation TECHNOLOGY
The unique, patented WAVE Ventilation moisture control and ventilation unit will:
- EXPEL moisture, gases, toxins, and pollutants
- REPLENISH the polluted, damp air with healthy, dry warmer air
- VENTILATE the entire house, drying out the structure
Unlike a conventional dehumidifier which does not exchange the air, ventilate the basement and is costly to operate, WAVE Ventilation will provide a healthier, drier and more comfortable home at a fraction of the cost.
The quiet, yet powerful WAVE Ventilation unit draws in moist, contaminated indoor pollutants, and expels them safely from the home. This unhealthy air is then replaced with a flow of drier, fresher air drawn downward from the upper levels. Replenishment air comes from the outdoors and enters the home naturally via windows, doors, and other openings. In essence, WAVE Ventilation not only provides the home with much needed healthier outdoor air, it creates crucial ventilation within the home which inhibits the growth of molds and reduces moisture related problems.
STEP 1
A reason for excess basement moisture is that cool moist air is heavy and gravitates to the lowest point, namely, to the basement of the house. The basement floor is also cold and will condense when in contact with moisture seeping in from outside or coming down. In poorly ventilated areas, the damp air stagnates and creates an environment conducive to mold and mildew growth, structural damage and discomfort.
When a WAVE Ventilation basement dehumidifier and ventilation unit is installed and operating, this stagnant, damp, contaminated air is drawn to the bottom vents of the unit by a powerful, yet quiet, ventilation fan. This is the distinct uniqueness and effectiveness of WAVE Ventilation, in that it is directing effort to the source of the problem and where it persists. When the surface moisture is drawn off, the moisture within the walls tends to come to the exterior surface and is also expelled, resulting in a process that is drying out the structure.
STEP 2
Once the moist air is drawn into the powerful, quiet, patented WAVE Ventilation unit, it is then expelled out of the house through a 6-inch dedicated duct. This flushed-out, contaminated air is then replaced with a flow of relatively drier, warmer and fresher air drawn downward from the upper levels. The warmer air will lower the relative humidity and reduce the condensation on the basement surface, eliminating that musty basement smell.
The interior upstairs air is then replaced with cleaner, fresher outdoor air entering the home naturally via windows, doors, and cracks.
STEP 3
The WAVE Ventilation unit is automatically controlled by an adjustable humidistat that regulates the flow of air. When the desired level of humidity is achieved, the fan will reduce speed and resume a higher speed if humidity level increases. The direct effect of the air being expelled and the flow of air downward create air exchange that occurs up to 10 times a day. As the moisture is drawn off the surface, the moisture absorbed in the walls and floor comes to the surface and is then expelled, reducing structural damage. In addition to reducing humidity, this reduces mold growth by not allowing the moist air to stagnate. The ventilation process removes gases and pollutants that have built up in the basement.
The unit never shuts off, thus maintaining a constant airflow which prevents dangerous stagnation.
Unlike a dehumidifier, WAVE Ventilation technology is designed to expel moist air in its entirety, but it doesn't separate the water molecules from the air. This is accomplished by the movement and removal of excess moist air from the least ventilated and coldest area of your home, the basement or crawl space.
