Read like techno waffle to me. The only way to ensure a satisfactorily
low humidity, is to either have lots of drafty through ventilation, or
extract moist air at source. That last means extracting air at the
cooker, in bathrooms and not drying clothes in the house. All blowing
air into a house does, is cause it to leak out through completely
random, uncontrolled exits.

As long as its wet air out and dry air in, the job is done

It is, but it's an approach that's very wasteful of energy ie run cost. And the op unsurprisingly reports slow results compared to a dehumidifier.

But a dehumidifier is always temporary.

no more or less than PIV

It works only when on

heh

and only in one room .

not so

Since condensation and mould tend to move through the house in time ( at least thats my experience) its better to find a permanent solution.

nonsequitur, and neither PIV nor dehumidifier lasts forever.

This one works. It doesnt cost much ( especially so compared to the cost of running a dehumidifier all the time)

what was the calculated cost of you throwing out all that heated air all winter?

and its a lot less noisey than a dehumidifier.

some of which are silent

I do not have the heating unit ( which is attached to the model I got) on and it works without. You could save £200 if you got an unheated one..

how is it possible to save £200 on a small fan? They don't cost that much.
