They will dry at that rh at a high temp, but you open yourself up to all sorts of gnarly stuff (fungus/mold)if ur not lucky. Also by increasing temp to compensate for rh, you are not providing an ideal slow drying environment.
12litres is plenty. Keep checking to make sure its cranking until a hydrometer indicates the rh is down to below 62%
Thanks, yea going to get one today any ideas on what capacity to get for a 4x4x7 tent?
Only just seen this, thankyou
I make sure the jar is at 70% before freezing. Takes a month or so , depends on the ambient humidity. Sometimes I get flooded and it can take a year to completely dry things out under the house.
Just bought one will have it set up in around an hour, thanks for the help
Thanks, when you said get one that utilizes compressors do you mean a non electric one because I have just bought this.
How many watts does it pull? A thermo-electric dehumidifier doesn't use much electricity, a compressor model about that size will probably use 200-300 watts, which is why they work so well.
It says on the box 300 watt but some were else it says 240volts aswell
I'm not good with figuring that shit out. I got a 70 pint whole home dehuey. My place is about 1300 sq.ft. and it works great!
Mine's 700 watts. I dunno if that helps you to figure it out, but I think the one I have is way too much.
I set mine up last night and it got it down 10% in a couple of hours but cut off early hours because the tank was full it only holds 2.4 ltrs
Yea it was blowing quite a bit of hot air out
Just keep chipping away at it. 70 is better than 80…
