this is the first time having to use a dehumidifier. and im not having much luck with it. not too sure what im doing wrong if anything.
let me layout my situation.
5x5 secret jardin inside its own room.
pushing air into that room with a 600 cfm duct fan
removing the air through a scrubber, cooling a 1k hps and out to a room upstairs with an 8" 765 cfm fan. passive intake air into the tent.
and a window air conditioner built into the room wall, there when i need it. and temps are always perfect.
and inside the tent a 20L dehumidifier i run only during the dark period. zero ventilation. only the passive intakes in the tent open, and air circulating.
the first dehumidifier i bought didnt work at all. it actually added 20% humidity to the environment, and didnt pull a drop of water out of the air (obviously defective)
exchanged it, and this one is working as far as pulling water out of the air, but is still adding some humidity...
i dont believe it to be undersized, as explained in the manual as far as its capacities, etc go.
anybody have any experience with a dehumidifier doing opposite its job? any suggestions as to what i may be doing wrong?
