What are the pros and cons of a whole-house dehumidifier vs.

And of the whole-house models, has anyone had any experience with the
Wave system (which is more a ventilating than dehumidifying device)?

I don't understand the question, apparently.

My central air unit is a whole house dehumidifier.
That's the way it is supposed to work.
However, as a refinement, I wired an April-Aire
humidistat in backwards, so that it "makes" on humidity
rise rather than fall, and inserted it into the red wire of the
thermostat.

Now, instead of trying to achieve a certain temperature,
it gets to a level of comfort and shuts off. After all, a humid
73 degrees can be uncomfortable, and a drier 83 degrees
can be comfortable.

Since doing it this way, my wife doesn't wake up with a dry
nose in the morning. And our utility bill dropped. Far better
than trying to compete against that fusion reactor in the sky
during the day.
