Default Dehumidifier: Compressor or Dessicant?

wrote:
Dear Michael
Have you considered the alternative control method avoiding the need
for desiccation? namely stopping the water coming in in the first
place? It may be that with appropriate trickle vents and life changes
you can avoid this purchase. If you cannot then I would go for the
compressor (non-desiccant) version but remember they only work if you
close all the windows and doors and heat the place - just the opposite
of what you want to control condensation!

In practice this means no showers and no drying washing indoors or quite
a lot of ventilation.

A dehumidifer is cheaper, smaller and more efficient than a tumble
drier, for example, if you assume it's too wet to dry washing outside.
