I had put one of these dehumidifiers in my first house and it was a mess
and a mess to clean. There was no water over flow and after a month or
so, I'd have to remove the pad to clean out the calcium deposit with
vinegar.
Now my Aprilaire 560 has no moving parts but drips water over a honey
comb, ceramic coated aluminum pad to evaporate in the furnace air. Pad
is rinsed by excess water and would probably last a few years but I
change it every year. Water drains into my French drain which can
handle it and in the Summer condensate from AC goes into same drain.
Never a problem.
Thread just got me to check it and it is working fine. It's as old as
the house, ~40 years.
Sounds like a totally successful dehumidifier.
Except, that it isn't. Oops.
===============================
When I did HVAC installs, my boss used to really
love the flow through humidifiers. Wasted a little
water, but much lower maintenance.
