Dampp-chaser experience

[Alan Barnard]

Hallaluia, another believer!

I have had many such experiences. If the systems are properly maintained (a BIG if) they can make all the difference in the world.

And, yes, a period of adjustment and stabilization is normal -- usually about 6 weeks, it seems to me.

Amen.
