![]() I was happy with mine, it removed a few gallons of water from the air every few days and noticeably reduced the amount of ice on my windows, which is what I wanted it to do. I can't recall the power of mine however.

![]() Yeah, they do reduce weeping windows significantly. They are loud though.... If I had the money, I would have gotten some sort of a central unit..

![]() I would have to agree with using them too. I can notice a signifficant difference in the air by just breathing, it feels heavy. But after a few days of running mine, the air feels dryer and lighter.

Best for the summer is the use of central air and/or de-humidifiers, plus perhaps venting some of the tank air, direct outside. All of this would be esp. important for someone with the volume of water you have.

It takes exaust from several ports in the house and passes it through a core in the exchanger on the way outside. Fresh incoming air also passes through the core. This exchange warms the incoming air somewhat, removing the heat from the warm outgoing air. This saves heat, instead of just a straight exaust, like a bathroom fan. I will try find a website for you if you wish. I believe my Lifebreath is manufactured in Saskatoon.

![]() thanks,
I actually love the humidity in the winter, don't notice it in the summer. My sunroom is like a jungle, the plants growing huge...because of it. I was thinking if I got a de-humidifier then I could put it on a timer and only remove some of the moisture, not all. It's also nice in the rest of the house where it's not nearly as dry as most homes. Lynn
