Best Location for Dehumidifier
What is the best location for a dehumidifier? I have a two storey home
(basement, main and top floor). My dehumidifier has both a direct drain and the drain to a removable container. The humidity in the house is approximately 61 % in the basement, 55 - 58 on the other floors. I have a wood floor on the main floor too that needs a uniform humidity. My dehumidifier can handle 55-58 litres per day (Danby DDR583R). Thanks for your help. |

Personally I put mine where I can not hear it. And in the highest humidity area. My parents furnace-a/c was in the basement and the dehumidifier was located next to the furnace with a hose going to the floor drain. Air movement in your home will be important to eventually get a balanced level. |

Thanks. I have the unit next to my furnace - a/c system in the
basement too. I have a return air vent located in a top corner about ten feet away from the dehumidifier and I have that opened. However I am not sure how I can improve air movement in the house other than having the furnace fan running. I am watching to see if this will affect the dumidity on the top floors.
