Hi

I have option for small 25 w dehumidifier 350 ml/day or stronger model 70w. 700 ml/day
Tent is 80x80x160 cm one plant in IT and RH goes up to 80% at night so this is must buy for me
So where to put IT for best performance inside or outside tent ?:confused:
Have extractor fan always on so will dehumidifier be efficient inside anywhey?
I pulling new air from Room where the tent is so I guess that I must lower Down RH in that Room or dehumidifier will do the job inside tent instant:confused:
I hope you understand my consern

:bigjoint:

What is the humidity outside of the tent? How often do you want to empty the tank? Bigger units have bigger tanks.

i just bought a small dehuey too. i modified it by installing a plastic elbow and some tubing into the reservoir and it drains automatically into my floor drain. it helps a bunch in just the few days i've used it.

So your dehumidifier is inside that Room ?
How much % you drop with this model?
Your start % without dehumidifier and now when he is on ?
Thank you very much you help a lot. ;)
