i really like being able to control heat to individual rooms, don't need to turn the temp up downstairs in the main room (where the main thermostat is) to get heat upstairs

After steaming up the baffroom, open a window and shut the door. When its dried oot, open the door and close the window. That's wot eye does so eye dun't put lots ov humid air in me castle after a baff.
My dehumidifier has a fan that blows on a cooled rad to collect watta. Rad is a basic air con unit eye fink.

Normal household activities generate lots of moisture - washing, cooking, drying clothes, bathroom blah blah blah. The way we heat and insulate our homes, stop draughts etc. means that houses can no longer breathe. Good ventilation is essential to reduce condensation..... has anyone got direct experience of domestic dehumidifiers please?
We are experiencing some issues with condensation here at Clarke Towers and I want to assess the options.
Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom.
This isn't the only place I have seen this or read this.It is worth noting that your quote is from a company touting for custom!
It also said 'do not put your laptop into rice' - I agree BUT I suggest that putting some rice grains into the laptop is rather different from putting the laptop into the rice.
Putting a few grains into your salt pot stops the moisture ruining the salt, too - handy when leaving a caravan/MH over winter.
I once watched a demo on TV where the peeps took a mobile phone that had been dropped in water and they tried all sorts of ways of drying it out and rice deffo didn't work.
Just brushing rice onto it wouldn't work quickly enough either.
Rice works in your salt pot and also in jars of stuff like gravy powder as I use it for that too. In the old days people used to use dried peas as well. But that is because it sucks water out of the atmosphere that would otherwise get into the salt etc.
In fact he may be better off dusting it quickly with salt then brushing it off again really quickly.
did you read the article to the end?
And if computer peeps don't know how to do it, then who does?
Will you be telling him my advice to turn it upside down was wrong too then?
His road has a lot of children and animals on it, mainly horses. Without them it is a racetrack, long and straight although narrow in places.speed humps have a place i guess, but if hate having to drive over them to and from my house!! And if it's the long strips, that would put a stop to myducati
Speed bumps just make people rev and brake more, should be banned
Sprinkle rice all over it apparently..... has anyone got direct experience of domestic dehumidifiers please?

I've already given my reasons why I want an air powered one.
Electric to compress or electric to run it?
and a lot of that energy will get needlessly converted to heat.
This'll teach me to ask on ere!
So good news but bad news as well.
As you say they have got the priority right but it must be really frustrating.
Feel for you, mate.
any idea what caused it?
I must have scratched my leg. The medication is an immune suppressor so I had no hopeSo good news but bad news as well.

We must be really old fashioned and stoppid then, as we turn valves off in rooms we aren't using and turn them back on again before we need to use them.
The whole, lot goes off over night.
No apps, no batteries, nothing to go wrong.
And we get exercise.
Also wearing sweaters during the day, which I never normally do.
We get the odd bit of condensation so we mop it up, it's only ever on the windows.
And if necessary we open a window. with the heating off and the door closed. as long as it isn't raining.
Think we should have been born two centuries ago.
Agree totally with the first bit.
But if you use a dehumidifier it uses electric which is kinda defeating the whole "save energy" thing. Might as well have the rad on. To dry clothes when it is raining we put them on a rack in a bathroom and leave them there. When the rad is on it helps but if the rad is off they still dry cos we leave the door open. Never get any condensation, dunno why.
Oh dear. It is a shame.I must have scratched my leg. The medication is an immune suppressor so I had no hope
I do hope you get to the end of the long term treatment and can come off the immuno-suppressors.
Ambrosia full cream OK?Sprinkle rice all over it apparently.
i've smart TRVs in key rooms, so any one can call heat from the boiler, so i can keep the living room on low during the day while i'm working in the office etc, previously if i wanted heat in the office, i had to turn the main room thermostat up
hmmm.. mort guage.. measures how deddid you areorlreddy gorra mortgage
Right.
sun is shining.
company that should have sent the exhaust to the exhaust place forgot to order it.
How many feckers are there in the supply chain?
So it won't get done until tomoz.
Went for flu jab this morn. Place (Dr's surgery) was heaving. Started doing it then stopped calling names out.
I went and asked the nurse what was going on and she more or less said "free for all". So you have to imagine a decorous scrum occurring amongst a load of OAPs.
As I was stood at the door next to the nurse and with my left sleeve rolled up she waved me in.
You get nowt without asking.
What a way to run a ballroom, typical of our place.
W is at her sewing which i had to take her to as technically her car now has no MOT as it failed although it still had till the end of the month to run. "A grey area" I have been told.
But noticed the front wheels going over sleeping plods in the car park led to a tremendous clang/clash/bang so I am about to go out and try and see what it is.
Enjoy the rest of the day folks!!!
