Recommended Dehumidifier

A few months ago I got 2 for our garages in Florida off amazon. Whats cool about them is they have pumps built in that pump the water up and out.

Just make sure you have a drain close by and connect the drain hose to it with a wire tie or something similar. They produce more water than you think. Is the room air from a furnace with a humidifier?

Not too useful because I can't remember brand, but I had an industrial strength unit that you could hang from rafter, joist. or ceiling. Had a built-in pump, or you could use gravity. Application was crawl space - very humid - of 1500 plus square feet, and easily kept to 45% RH.
I have not had much luck with cabinet units from discount or big box stores. Only last 1 - 2 years. Well worth it to find a commercial grade unit.

This soaks up all the water until the media is gone, then releases it back into the atmosphere. I have a small electric one I keep in the boat cabin. It also has a fan to keep air moving and creates a little heat. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1959197690...511f79a4ff7d3e62a0b28&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0

I have placed dehumidifiers in my garages for years ( live in NE). Run 9 months a year ( dry in my cold climate in winter). Amazing amount of water comes from them. Distilled and use to water the plants) one has drain hose attachment which exits outside), 2 were recalled in because of risk of fire ( made guess where?!).
Not sure hanging it from rafters works as well since humid air tends to sink unless heated. My garages tend to remain cool with dehumidifier unless I leave the doors open.

I did the same as Rocket Man when I built my new garage. Before that I had a “Golden Rod” gun safe dehumidifier rod in each car. Did an excellent job but only did the cab.
