Humidity

Install a HRV in your house, will bring in dry fresh air from outside in winter and take out damp stale air all while recovering the heat from the outgoing air.
Will give you fresh air to breath and also help increase the pH of your tank.
Cost much less to run than a dehumidifier too!

 

Or replace your exhaust fan with THIS

 

What is this ^^^^^ Jamie?

 

Basically a small HRV click on the link in the post.

 

HRV is ok but imo a ductable dehumidifier is better. All a hrv does is exchange outside air with inside air. A ductable dehumidifier does the same thing but also dehumidifies. I was having the same problem so i put in a Aprilaire 1750a ductable dehumidifier. It was around $1200 through discount dehumidifiers.com. Aprilaire just came out with new models so im sure prices went up. I think it's worth it though, I had mold problems before but all is good now. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

 

Thanks Jamie!

The HRV is good but doesn't cover the problem with humidity as fmsill stated. We put a HRV in a couple years ago and it's nice. What we have noticed since I upgraded to the 180 is "a lot" more humidity in the house! Bringing air from outside to the inside is nice until it's raining/humid outside :9( So, I'm searching for a way to dehumidify the house right now ;=/

 

I need something as well...Running a dehumidifier but it runs all the time.
