Cheap DIY Dehumidifier

Sorry about the double post... have one in aero/hydro forums, but thought this would be the more appropriate place for this.

I was just thinking let me know if I am wrong here because I may be thinking opposite of what holds true.

I was thinking a humidistat/dehumidistat such as

Buy Fantech FH 20 Dehumidistat | Fantech FH20

connected to a holmes fan which fits perfectly in a 5 gallon bucket

the 5 gallon bucket has some sort of filter holding water absorbing crystals such as Soil Moist to absorb the water then it exhausts on the other side with another fan that runs all the time....


My thinking is that the intake fan (Holmes) along with the absorbing crystals should absorb the moisture in the air while the fan on the other side exhausts it outside of the grow area. Let me know what you guys think.

Any ideas anyone?

doesnt sound easily workable, a block of moistened soil crystals presents itself as a solid mass. I can't see much air passing through that.

how about with an inner and outer tube... between inner and outer tube is where crystals would be... similar to some of the DIY carbon filters
