Thanks....I was almost getting ready to run the AC with the heater in
desperation...on way to Lowe's now to see what they have in stock...


If you are in a marina with no metered power....why not? That will cause
the AC to run and dehumidify the house. Commercial air conditioning
systems have heating elements in them to do just what you were
thinking....making the AC run to pump out the water.

I used to work in a shipboard calibration lab where the temperature was 72F
+/- .2 degrees. The humidity control to hold humidity to 50%, eliminating
the problems associated with static electricity, was steam heating
radiators built into the 25 ton air conditioning system. When the humidity
sensors said it was too moist, the steam came on, heating up the air
conditioner's output and making it run longer to keep up. This dried out
the air and shut the steam back off.

Of course, you'll want to make sure you have sufficient amperes to run them
both. Leave the heater on 1000 watts and turn the thermostat to way above
the normal setting. Run the AC and it'll pump out the heat and water.
Problem solved. The humidifier is the slicker way to do it. The hot
condensor heat the AC pumps overboard is simply reheating the cold air
coming out of the evaporator on a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers heat the air
because you're adding the power of running its machinery and fan into the
net-neutral heat of evaporator and condensor.

I'm watching a mother laying dead on a stretcher next to her two dead
children as her husband screams in horror over the three corpses as the
United States/Iwraeli genocide continues. The USA blocked the UN from
condemning Israeli genocide this morning.

Damn them all....Damn US.

Damn the British Government for 1948.
