    I use a Y vent on a exhaust outlet for the clothes dryer and I put a 4 inch inline fan with flexible vent down to the floor to rid of humidity in the basement ...not very powerful but it gets the job done low tech

    They're quite a bit bigger than I expected. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxb-KpJPmXtqM2xdYLP72ICq6QCcD0V8e7 If you ever had an air king round tilting fan, these are basically the same thing but in a window shroud. There's quite a few reviews about them being out of balance. I can say that mine pretty close to balanced. I purchased two of them for cooling my shop during my crypto operation. One intake, one exhaust. Combined they're moving over 7K CFM which is plenty for my 20x30 shop. If it helps you comprehend just how much air they move, both of them on intake and it's incredibly hard to close the door on my shop. The prescribed dimensions are accurate, they barely fit in my small windows.

    Seems to me that taking in air and exhausting air within 6 inches of each other is counter productive. What stops the expelled air from being sucked back in through the intake vent? It reminds me of homes with sump pumps - yes the pumps pump the water outside and they pump it right outside the foundation where it just comes back in through the foundation to be pumped again. This fan appears to do the same thing - blow out air and suck it right back in.

      true if you run it right beside each other.. how about attaching ducts to it to put intake and exhaust at opposite ends of the room?

      Usually a basement drainage pump is pumping water in to the sewer system, not the ground.

      A tiny bit will come back in... But if the vents go into open air, it will dissipate very quickly.

    If drawing moisture out of one vent then wouldn't it be drawing moisture in multiple other vents ?

    Do these fans protect against detected radon issues?

      I have personal experience with such fan products I have tested unfortunately 4.0 radon in my 1500 square foot basement. With my exhaust fan on I pull fresh air from upstairs down into basement and all the stale air with radon is exited out but I collected from the floor level because that's where radon and dampness go to the floor level it dropped it down to 1.2. of course this is not a permanent solution but it sure helps to move fresh air into the basement. I like to exhaust the air out and pull in climate controlled air from upstairs. It's a fraction of the cost in running a dehumidifier 24/7

      @@confirmhandleSo if i understand this correctly you have one of these fans in your basement but you also keep your hvac on and your returns are upstairs and you just force air into the basement and it goes out via the fan? But doesn't the basement fan being on actually suck more radon in from the ground creating that pressure change?

    if your basement is musty then it has water problems. I'm mitigating with a Santa Fe dehumidifier plus pump, keeps it at 34% humidity. but that's not the root cause. I now understand that my entire property was graded wrong (they just skipped that part) and to solve the problem *right*, I need to regrade and add drainage.
    l urge you to understand what the real problem is before you start throwing Band-Aids at it like this.
    if you want to learn more about water control see Daniel j O'Connor of hydro armor's videos.

      U must support that numb nuts Biden. It’s the on the way to get rid of/ lower the smell, radon, moisture and humidity with a crawl space or mobile home.
