Has one ever been considered for our clubhouse?
I'm seeing 200-300W ones on Amazon for ~ $225. One problem is that we'll need to have a way of continuously discharging the water from the unit.

good idea, I think you could run the tube out thru the wall?

Yep.

Is there a ditch or drainage pipe close to the clubhouse? I never noticed. If the clubhouse is well insulated then the unit will run less and reduce the amount of drainage.

Since its clean water so to speak, I think the city/county code pretty much says to discharge it away from the building (sloped away preferably)... aside from that they see it as rainwater...

Im not sure if the clubhouse has a ceiling, or side wall vent/fan... But that on humidity and or temp activated switch will save a few bucks having it on only when its needed...

If you need a number of a real good HVAC guy who deals with this stuff all the time drop me an email.. (he is also a pilot!!!!Free work yay!!!!)

We can drill a hole through the wall for a drain, no problem.
Have to find out the monthly cost but first if it would even be effective.
Lets contact your HVAC guy!

Hey Rob, good to know! The units I found online do have switches that control the level of humidity the unit should keep. I hope we can insulate/ventilate the building so that the unit operates a minimal amount of time.

Steve, I know for sure gliders in the clubhouse get moldy. So nothing to lose in getting the hvac guy to evaluate the building.

Cool stuff....

If we really want to step it up we can do solar power, insulate with rigid foam, seal the cement floor (if thats an issue) Fan/dehumidifier.... We have lots of options to fix whatever the problem is...

I will be out there before sunday to do an evaluation if andrew cant make it, (he is leaving on vacation saturday for 3 weeks..)

Cheers, Rob
