Anyone know where these De-Humidistats exist? They were not at the Home Hardware or Rona I was at, I assume it will be a more specialty type store.

Afraid not. Maybe try a greenhouse supply or a heating (furnace) place and see if they can order you one.

I did find this one at grainger.com but wow .. not cheap

That is a bit pricey, a humidistat with a relay is about half the price, but a lot more work. Maybe I can find a cheaper one at a furnace place like you said.

I have a Dehumidifyer running all the time with the 2500 gallon storage tanks from my well in my basement i get tons of water from it.

I have it plumbed into my drain now but i was woundering would the water produced from this be fairly pure as it is simmaler to distiller princaple?

maby i could reuse the water

Your condensing the moisture in the air along with everything else, plus consider what are the coils made from.

From my experience, got my dehumidifier from my mother who wasn't using it for about a year. She's a pack a day smoker and when I first plugged it in I just about puked from the smell of old cigerette smoke.

I water my plants with it but that's about all I'd do with it.

thought I'd try to revive this thread rather than starting a new one, so it's kind of like a one stop shop for info on humidity issues and options to solve.

Has anyone using a dehumidifier or a bathroom ventilation fan experienced corrosion from the salt creep?

Any solutions to this problem?

Both my bathroom fan (went within weeks of install) and my dehumidifier (about a year before the humidity sensor coroded) have died due to salt creep/corrosion.
