Can this unit be mounted in the basement?

My husband installed ours, and he said he doesn't see why the unit couldn't be mounted in the basement. Ours is not installed under the sink (which I think is the norm), but about approx. 20 feet from kitchen sink. The only thing is that it would require longer lines. We love ours!

I just mounted my RO-45 in the basement, replacing the previous reverse osmosis unit (RIP) mounted there, directly under the kitchen sink above. Needed about 35 feet of extra line to reach the floor drain in the basement. Went with 3/8" drain line instead of 1/4" to ensure that such a lengthy line would not result in too much back-pressure.

The system can be mounted in the basement as many of our other customers has done it in the past. It might require longer tubing on some of its connections depending on where it is installed.

Yes it can. Most likely you will need additional 1/4" tubing for the run to the sink as well as the run to the drain line. I purchased a saddle valve to provide the water supply from a cold water pipe in the basement. I would recommend hanging the main filtration unit on the wall.

Yes that's where I put mine it works fine only thing you'll need is some extra tubing to hook it up!

Yes. Mine is in the basement against the wall but not attached. So far, so good.

I checked with my son who installed our unit and he said he remembers thinking it could be installed from below if necessary. However, we were able to access it through the attic. So while I cannot say definitely, there is a good possibility that you would be able to install it from below.

Yes, if you have a long enough cable you can put it about anywhere. I have mine in the basement and it works great. Just put it in a south facing window and plug and play. Works way better than a cell phone booster

In theory you could mount it anywhere with the right hardware. It only comes with two screws, and there's two holes in the flat round base. I would think a handy person could mount it under a cabinet after a trip to Home Depot for the right hardware.

I'm pretty sure you would not be able to mount it. Its a countertop unit only.

Yes, since the base unit is located at a phone and power outlet, I threaded the sensor line down into the basement through the phone line path, and attached it near the floor in the basement

I have mine hanging in the basement, so definitely fine for inside. We have it connected to a ceiling beam in the basement. I suggest a good 4ft radius around it. If I had the room in a bedroom, it think I would have no problems with having it there. It would probably get a lot more use!

I actually asked the same question to a home inspector. He said it is not recommended to put it in the basement but can be done. Reasons being that if it or any of the connections should leak you would be blowing all the radon into the house creating an even higher level.

One thing to note is that you can install equipment interface next to or near the thermostat - it does not need to go to the basement (distance between equipment and unit is limited to 39 meters IIRC however).

I have mine in the basement and lts about 3 inch from the wall and vents are on top of unit.

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.

I don't see why not. Though mine is in the basement. The battery box is kind of un-sightly unless your putting it in a closet .....

This unit is designed to be installed wall mounted. It can be mounted on the ceiling but it will not be effective. It will defeat the purpose. I do not recommend it to be installed in the ceiling

Yes - but only if you put it on a shelf. There are no mounting holes, etc., on the unit itself.

This is not designed to be mounted on the outside of a basement wall. This application would void warranty.
