The first thing to think about is how you will remove the water from the dehumidifier. In basements, the best thing you can do is use the dehumidifier’s continuous drainage tube to a sump pump or drain. If those options aren’t available, you can empty the tank several times a day. The first time I installed a dehumidifier in the basement, the tank filled in three hours. It’s all about drainage. Also, knowing how to read a label. If you have a 50-pint humidifier it means the appliance can remove 50 pints of moisture from the air in a 24-hour period; Its No Internal tank capacity. Also, pay attention to the maximum area coverage. For example, the Honeywell Smart 50 can remove 50 pints of water from a 4,000-square-foot area—the size of an entire house—in 24 hours.
If like me you need a dehumidifier in your city apartment, consider purchasing a dehumidifier that is easy to move around with wheels and a handle. Some of these machines are heavy. Also, a small dehumidifier in the bathroom is a good idea to keep moisture away, especially if you have mold growing on your grout.
Finally, do not drink water collected in your dehumidifier tank. That water is not fit for drinking. Pour it into the drain. A dehumidifier is not making distilled water; It’s a different process and equipment.
