Field Controls Eliminator User manual

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.”

Eliminator®

Helps eliminate moisture, mold, and

radon gas from crawl spaces

Foundation Vent Fan

• Reduces moisture content and mold

potential in crawl spaces, ﬂoor joists,

ﬂooring, and other support wood

• Circulates air in crawl space

• Removes radon gas

• Automatic operation

• Temperature or humidity activated

• Reduces potential for airborne mold

inﬁltration into home

• Reduces termite potential

The Eliminator Foundation Vent Fan is a motorized

fan designed to circulate fresh air in a home or

building crawl space to eliminate cancer-causing

radon gas and reduce moisture that can lead

to mold formation and termite infestation. The

Eliminator attaches to virtually any standard

foundation vent. It is wired for automatic operation

when the temperature exceeds 50oF. An optional

de-humidistat activates the fan when humidity

exceeds the owner-determined setting (20%–80%)

in conjunction with the built-in temperature control.

The temperature control is shielded from the sun

to prevent false readings that could lead to costly

operation during cold weather.

Note: The de-humidistat is designed

to be installed remotely, so it can

be placed in the crawl space where

moisture is most likely to accumulate.

Facts about radon, mold, and moisture.

Mold

1. The Eliminator is attached to any standard foundation

vent, and then wired to a 120v source.

2. Optional de-humidistat is placed in center of crawl

space area.

3. When temperature in crawl space exceeds 50oF

and/or when humidity exceeds de-humidistat setting,

the Eliminator is engaged.

4. Moist air and radon gases are pulled from crawl

space and replaced with fresh, outside air.

5. When thermostat or de-humidistat are satisﬁed, the

Eliminator is deactivated.

Typical installation

Radon

Radon is a radioactive gas that is considered to be a

health hazard affecting indoor air quality worldwide.

Radon gas is the second most common cause of lung

cancer in the United States. One in fifteen homes in

the U.S. has a high level of radon.

Mold

According to a study by the Mayo Clinic, nearly all

chronic sinus infections are a result of mold. Since up

to 40% of the air we breathe in the home can come

from the crawl space, mold in the crawl space means

mold in the home. The EPA recommends to keep

humidity levels in the crawl space to 40%–50% to

reduce the likelihood of mold formation.

Moisture

Excess moisture in a crawl space can have serious

consequences. Not only can it lead to mold formation,

it also increases termite potential and can increase the

potential for rot in ﬂoor joists, cross members, and sub-

ﬂooring. Moisture level in wood should be less than

20%. In high humidity areas, that number can easily

exceed 30%. To maintain safe moisture levels, experts

recommend a plastic moisture barrier on the ground in

combination with a vent fan such as the Eliminator.
