my dehumidifier works OK. not the greatest. we're having a HRV installed sometime in the near future to deal with the mugginess of the house. the humidity heightens the smell of the pets, it's unbearable some days.

Would an HRV be very portable between houses do you think?

For my 375 I started out with a bathroom fan in the fish room, and found that it was noisier than I liked given its capacity, and salt creep became a problem.

Eventually went with a Vortex inline squirrel cage fan like the attached.

Much quieter (also due to being placed remotely in the finished basement ceiling) and more powerful. Vented out the wall, with a fresh air supply provided to avoid any negative pressure situations.

I got mine from the local hydroponics store ... they even accepted a charge card

Caution note.

Before anybody goes punching holes in their houses I thought I would let you know that there is a "minimum distance" to things like air inlets vrs. outlets. You would need to refer to local building control regulations for the exact distances. For example; you don't want a furnace fresh air intake too close to an exhaust outlet. It's like smoking cigerattes

"Outlets" include clothes drier, furnace, fireplace, washroom and stove exhuast vents.
