Just an update, HRV is fully operational now:

Humidy before install:
- basement = 34-35%
- main floor = 36-37%
- upstairs (where fish tank is) = 47%

After install and HRV running for about 1 hour:
- basement = 28-29%
- main floor = 28-29%
- upstairs = NOW ONLY 33 - 34%

I will let run for a couple days, remeasure and adjust controls where necessary. But Wow, much more comfortable in the house.

HRV's are the way to go!!!

Also, took my first shower using the new tankless hot water system, and again was impressed. My buddy also installed the recirculation system, and hot water is now available to all upstairs faucets within 1-2 seconds. Before it was much longer as the hot water made its way through the pipes. Also water is much more consistant with hotness and is much hotter.

I like, I like it alot!!!

Now have planned for next month adding something called the "Big Brute" system to the overall water of the house. Basically a filtration system for the complete household.

HEHE, then also discussed putting complete fishtank RO system in garage with heater enclosure system (for freezing), running lines for drainage direct from tank and then pumping water for top-off and water changes from garage. I am still thinking on this, but things that make you go HMMMMMM.
