Humidity Control?

[Paverdude]

I have a Dehumidifyer running all the time with the 2500 gallon storage tanks from my well in my basement i get tons of water from it.

I have it plumbed into my drain now but i was woundering would the water produced from this be fairly pure as it is simmaler to distiller princaple?

maby i could reuse the water

My house is old, and crappy windows, so there are lots of air leaks in.

Yea, actually any form of ventilation will work. Just need some make up air coming in. Need to be careful of any heating device, like gas furnace or wood burning devices that require fresh air. One does not want negative pressure in the house.

As long as you vent out stale humid air and bring in some dry fresh air, the idea is the same. However in my climate, without the HRV, the heating bill would sky rocket from heating the cold outside winter air.

I bought a bathroom fan and a control to turn the fan on when it reached a certain tempature in the fish room. My plan was a hole out for the fan and a hole in for fresh air. As far as heat I thought the cold air being drawn in the room from the in in hole would keep the temp. down in the fish room.

Then I read more and did the HRV route.
