Jurgen,

I've been told that dehumidifiers use too much current when they start. It's
a compressor after all. I would suggest using 2 dehumidifier rods 1-50watts
+ 1-35watts for the bass AND a bottom cover. I think this would help in a
situation like the one you've described.

  Subject: room climate control



  I have a client with a 7' Kawai grand in a basement studio.  The Relative
Humidity  is always on the high side (60%).  I urged him to monitor the
humidity with an electronic hygrometer and to get a dehumidifier.

  He did this, however the controller on the dehumidifier in very
inaccurate.  With the controller set at 40%, it cut out when the humidity is
still above 60%.  The manufacturer told him they are all not precise.  He
has searched for higher end units, but even the manufacturers of these do
not guarantee the precision of their controllers.

  I would prefer to control the environment in the studio because it
"should" be a straight forward thing to do.  I feel a Piano Life Saver
System will simply always be fighting the higher humidity in the room.

  I have thought of using a Piano Life Saver humidistat to control a simple
room de-humidifier.  Would this work?  Would he need a relay  between the
humidistat and the de-humidifier?

  Any thoughts, and especially experiences, welcome.
