The square foot ratings are bogus in my view. The machine does not know or care how big the space is. It removes water from the air. Consider: in a desert this might be adequate for 100,000 square feet, in a swamp maybe 100 square feet. In the latter case the machine will run all the time if you keep the drain going. But it would burn out sooner. In the desert it might never come on. And so on. What matters to buyers and the only sensible comparison point, is the amount of water it takes out per day. The larger that number the larger a space it could bring to the desired RH. If your house is a desert, one would do; but if your house is a swamp (so to speak) then no device will be enough on its own. Also, the air will be drier in the room near the machine. To do a whole house you'd need to move the air around. If that's your need, you're better off with multiple machines.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will need more than one of these for a house of that size. I have one in an open floor plan on the bottom floor of a 2700 square ft home and one on the upper floor. It works for what I need it to. It’s beside a 300 gallon reef tank. Hope this helps.
