Wood’s DSC50FM

Effective dehumidifier for crawl spaces

Crawl spaces are a common source of moisture problems that can affect the entire structure and function of a house, leading to significant renovation costs. Wood’s DSC50FM is specially designed to protect crawl spaces from moisture, odours and mould and has been named ‘Best in Test’ several times. The DSC50FM is a durable, long-term solution for stable moisture control in vulnerable areas. With the DSC50FM, you can be confident that your crawl space will remain dry and safe all year round.

Easy installation, safe operation and low costs

Wood’s DSC50FM is a condensation dehumidifier that combines durability and advanced technology. It is equipped with Wood’s patented i-EcoDefrost, an intelligent defrosting system that maximises energy efficiency and ensures even and reliable dehumidification, even at temperatures as low as +2°C. This is something that many other condensation dehumidifiers cannot handle. Unlike sorption/dessicant dehumidifiers (which are common in crawl spaces), it is significantly more energy efficient, has much lower operating and purchase costs, and requires less maintenance. Another important advantage is that no expensive installation or complicated piping is required other than directing the condensation water to an existing drain or simply digging a stone pit.

High capacity and air flow for efficient circulation

The DSC50FM has a capacity of up to 13.5 litres per day and a powerful air flow of up to 350 m³/h, ensuring optimal air circulation and rapid moisture removal. Make sure the space is as airtight as possible and the DSC50FM will take care of the moisture.

Effective all year round, even at low temperatures

The dehumidifier is constructed of stainless steel to withstand demanding conditions and operates effectively in temperatures between +2°C and +35°C. This makes it a reliable solution for moisture control in all seasons and allows it to operate safely around the clock without losing its effectiveness.

Smart mould and dust filter

The DSC50FM is equipped with Woods SMF filters that effectively capture dust and mould particles in the air, protecting the dehumidifier and extending its service life. It keeps your crawl space free from moisture, mould and odours all year round, making it a safe and long-term solution.

Safe design – built to last

Manufactured in Sweden with a robust design, sturdy legs and convenient handles, the DSC50FM is both durable and easy to position. You can easily connect the hose using a standard garden hose connector. Note: Hose length is adjusted as needed and purchased separately.

Long warranty and easy, sustainable use

To ensure the best performance, we recommend changing the filter once a year. By doing so and registering your dehumidifier at warranty.woods.com, you can get up to a 6-year extended warranty. You will also receive handy filter reminders, which will help the DSC50FM continue to deliver optimal results for a long time.

Installation instructions for the DSC50FM crawl space dehumidifier

Follow these steps to install your crawl space dehumidifier and optimise protection against moisture.
Seal vents and openings to keep moisture out. For the dehumidifier to work effectively, the space should be as airtight as possible. Ground cloth and sealing of ventilation openings and other moisture inlets prevent moisture from entering, which means that the dehumidifier only needs to deal with the moisture that is already in the crawl space. Since the crawl space is not a space we spend time in, it can be sealed thoroughly without any problems.

Place the dehumidifier centrally. For optimal air circulation, we recommend placing the dehumidifier as centrally as possible. This provides the best distribution of dry air and helps the unit to effectively handle moisture throughout the crawl space.

Drain the water into a sewer or dig a stone pit for drainage. If there is no sewer or well, you can dig a simple stone pit. Dig a hole a few decimetres deep, fill it with macadam, and lower the hose before covering it. This acts as a natural drainage system and takes care of the amount of water produced by the dehumidifier without the risk of water seeping back up.
Monitor the moisture level with a hygrometer. To easily keep track of the moisture level in the crawl space, we recommend placing a hygrometer at the entrance to the crawl space. This will allow you to ensure that the dehumidification is working and that the humidity level remains stable over time.

By following these steps, you will create a sustainable and effective installation that protects your crawl space from moisture damage and mould and keeps your home safe.
