Very quick question: I have a non controllable dehumidifer (its either on or off) - does anyone know of a device that could be used together with this to 'auto' on/off the dehumidifer which could be set to RH45 and left to do its thing? Or do I need a new dehumidifer which has this feature built in? Have serached on the web , but cant seem to find anything. Thanks |

I don't know of any specific models but there are hydrostats out there that can be set up on a relay that can control power to your dehumidifier. Check with Honeywell. |

There are several models that will allow you to plug in your humidifier directly without a solenoid: http://www.littlegreenhouse.com/accesso ... ols2.shtml |

Frank, My de-humidifier has settings, but I find that I leave it on the continuous setting most of the year, then when we have a rare dry spell, I just turn it off. Is your unit actually lowering your shop RH lower than 45? |

Thanks David, and everyone No, I am in teh process of setting up a shop, and was hoping to use an existing dehumidifier (dryness not being a major problem in the  ... UK!  ), rather than buying a new one with settings.... I did just get sent this from another source that looks perfect, so have posted the link in case anyone else needs this sort of control.http://www.airandwatercentre.com/store/ ... etails.htm |

Frank, that humidistat looks great, if you need it. I wouldn't buy it yet, you may find, unless your shop is very tight, that you'll do like I do, and leave your unit on maximum all the time, unless it is a very large unit for the shop space. Somewhere there is a place for us.... a place of 50% RH all year long.
