Yes this is my plan.

Use a dehumidifier, then plumb the water from this unit back to your top off water. Less water makeup!!!! But lotso electricity for sure...lol

This is exactly what I was looking at as well. I'm trying to find it locally. I see it on amazon for around $60. Normal hard wired dehumidistats r like $20. Also need to find a good fan that will fit in my 4" duct lol.
