Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted June 23, 2013 Volunteer Posted June 23, 2013 We are in the process of dealing with damp issues at our house. While we put a permanent solution in place I've been thinking of buying a dehumidifier as a short term solution. Just wondering if anyone has used one and whether there are any recommendations? It would mainly be for a reasonably large room many thanks
Super Mustud Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 There is a simple solution. Every time I order Nespresso pods I get a silica dehumidifier satchet included. Order lots of Nespresso pods. Problem solved.
Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted June 23, 2013 Author Volunteer Posted June 23, 2013 Latte - is there anything it can't do?
Super Mustud Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Latte - is there anything it can't do? Nespresso - quality for the discerning.
robin-hobart Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 What sort of damp problems? (I see you're in Vic so not talking tropics here) Roofing problems? Rising damp in walls? Closed-up house condensation-on-windows type dampness? If its damp getting in from outside - roofing / plumbing / groundwater / etc - I've not heard of a de-humidifier being used in such circumstances. Can't see one would help an iota. But always willing to learn.
Super Mustud Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Goretex wallpaper would be a good initiative. It is time that wallpaper came back in fashion. It could be a Whatty led fashion wave.
alcarp Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I've used a delonhgi for about 4 years until the compressor failed. It's quite effective but we live in a humid climate.
progladyte Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Fujitsu or Panasonic air-conditioners are pretty good at dehumidifying the air while giving you the bonus of cooling your house in summer and heating you up in the winter (if you order the reverse cycle varieties. We installed one in the lounge room and one in the bedroom about 8 years ago and have never looked back. These may costs more than you intended on spending but what's a few dollars when you don't have it? Just ask Ben Benanke
Guest Peter the Greek Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 We've got a delonhgi....about 8 years old (we had a problem in our first home), worked ok, but they're not real cheap. I'd look at a better ventilation systems like these as otherwise you're just going to double up the spend
Super Mustud Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I have been thinking about this, Whatty. Have you realised that if you wait for a little while then Global Warming will solve the problem for you? Provided you have good cross airflow, of course.
