Glad to hear you like it. My old one is like 20 years old and OMG it chews power. I'd almost rather just run the risk of a little moisture than run that POS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I empty mine manually every day to water the row of Arborvitae’s but it’s a PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could run it to the outbound plumbing and to the septic tank but I'd rather be a little more sustainable and less wasteful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion. 50 pints refers to the amount of water it theoretically can remove from the air in a day, not the amount it holds. i know this because i just bought a brand hew dehumidifier 2 days ago and did a little research. the one I bought was list as 50 pints, but the bucket holds 15.

No, I meant the cube - That style of dehumidifer holds more water. I recently was runnign a 70 pint dehumidifer (bucket style) that I had to empty 2+ times a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I empty mine manually every day to water the row of Arborvitae’s but it’s a PITA. I empty it into a tidy cat bucket. And yeah it’s a bit of a pain and you need to be careful setting the unit back onto the tub because of how heavy it is. It’d be difficult to use that way for an older person or someone without much strength. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 When we had to replace the water heater a few years ago, we went with a hybrid. It uses a heat pump along with a standard element to heat the water. The bonus is that the heat pump also acts as a dehumidifier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah those earlier 107F records were in June/July and more inline with when the average temp curve peaked… end of the first week of September though is wayyy off the chart relative to normal. Edit: Although that June 15th 107F dot is also pretty far off the average mark. It’s probably similar departure. Just noticed that of the 5 times they’ve hit 107F on record, 4 of them have been last year or this year. That’s statistically hard to believe but it’s where we are at in this climate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
