Frigiddaire 50 pint dehumidifier question
 

I have this unit. It works fine, but the settings on it are 50, 60, 70% and
continuous. I read a review on this unit a while back where a person plugged
the unit into an external dehumidistat and put the dehumidifier on
continuous setting. He said the external dehumidistat settings ranged from
20% to 80%. He said the external unit did a good job of controlling the
dehumidifier. I would like to be able to get my Frigidaire down to 20 to 40%
when needed. I have my woodshop in my basement and on real humid and rainy
days I want to set it to a lower level. I don't want my saw table top or
other tools to be in danger of rusting. My question is, do any of you know
where I can buy an external unit?
Thanks for your help.

50% is low enough, on continous would it even have the capacity to
lower it more, if it does why not just use it on continous

If it does not rust at 50% on a normal day, it won't rust at 50% on a rainy
day. At a given temperature, 50% is still 50%. The unit may work more
often to maintain though.

Use Top Cote on the cast iron anyway.

Humidity doesn't hurt you. You're just wasting energy and producing more
C02.

That's good if I'm producing more CO2, the plants in my house can use it,
that way they'll produce more O2 for my family to breath. I don't believe
any of the crap the Al Gore-ite's are spewing out.
