Eliminator® Foundation Vent Fan
Eliminate Moisture In Crawl Spaces
Reduce Fungus, Dry Rot and Termite Potential

Eliminator®
|

De-Humidistat (optional) |
The Eliminator® Foundation Vent Fan is a motorized fan designed for circulating outside air through the crawl space of a structure to reduce moisture problems. Moisture causes dry rot and fungus growth and increases the potential for termite infestation. With the Eliminator, air changes are increased dramatically for better moisture removal and control.
The Eliminator is designed to be mounted to a new or existing crawl space vent. It operates off a temperature switch which activates the motor at or above 50°F. An optional, adjustable de-humidistat can be used to operate the unit at varying levels of relative humidity. This optional control can be wired in place of, or in series with, the standard temperature switch and can operate up to two Eliminator units.
When to Use
To reduce moisture problems in a crawl space, including:
dry rot, fungus growth, or moisture that can encourage termite infestation.

Independent Test Results
“The Eliminator effectively reduces radon
gas and moisture levels in the typical
crawl space.”
Eliminator Foundation Vent Fans were installed in homes
with high wood moisture content in the 28% to 30%
range. Over a thirty day period, the moisture content was
measured at weekly intervals. Homes with the Eliminator
installed saw a reduction of moisture levels to as low as
16% and 17%. A wood moisture level of 20% or less is
considered ideal. Homes without the Eliminator showed no
reduction in moisture content.
"The Eliminator performed well, even under severe moisture
problem conditions… the amount of air moved is sufficient to
correct the problems present."
