It's not exact, but its close enough to help dry out my crawl space. Its heavy duty too. I highly recommend it.

My works fine. Accuracy isn't an issue. Good quality. I use mine in a attic crawl space to keep down the moisture levels.

I have it on a circuit breaker for my sump pump which was checked by the company that checks my basement. It's fine and has worked. Thank goodness. Just don't allow it to get wet, mine got wet and it ruined it but wasn't the fault of mine, it was the plumber's mistake.

Yup, actually the most reliable switches in my hub network. I have 2, one for the water heater(240V) and one for my boat lift (120V/30A).

I put it in my closet and it does work perfectly, even i set the switch on (day) or (night) it still works fine, it will turn off after 20 seconds if there is no movement , i really have not tested it at day time, but honestly i would reccomend it.

I don't believe so. As far as I know, this Wet Switch is designed to be used for the HVAC (Furnace). If you do a search on the internet on "Wet Switch Installation", you'll see that it has wires that you connect to the HVAC unit. It is designed to turn off the furnace once it detects water/moisture. My HVAC technician installed it. I am not an electrician or HVAC specialist. This is all I know. Sorry that I'm not much of a help.

evidendenly your humidity is lower or the same as number being seen so just press button under number you'll see it go down to lower number and you'll see the go light go on and hear it start up, i set mine on 40, bu it does shut off when it reaches 40 and if you unplug unit you have to do button all over again

That is accurate. I had our unit plugged into the bottom outlet in our basement. I was able to use the top outlet without any trouble.

No, this is for 220, sure saves money on your electricity. Set timer to heat water only when you need it.

I would not get this for the living part. The fan is always on and never turns off. So once you achieve your humidity level, the compressor shuts off but the fan is still on. I don't believe there is a way to turn the fan off. This is good for the basement to keep air moving. Some dehumidifiers shut off completely once the humidity level is reached. all will be somewhat loud like a window air conditioning unit. Most of the time, you will not need a dehumidifier in a living part of the house as long as you have an air conditioner.

sometimes if you unplug it and then plug it back in it reverts back to a default humidity setting. check to see if the setting is below 65%. i intentionally put mine on 45% and just let it run. when it reaches 45% it still runs but the dehumidifier part is on standby until the level goes above 45%.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but I can tell you it has worked well for me. I am not a professional that uses it multiple times daily, but I am rehabbing a home built in 1922 and it has kept me from getting shocked (several times) on circuits that were supposedly off. Zero problems with the on/off switch

The size of the dehumidifier depends on the humidity level and the size of the area your trying to control. I am using this 50 pint model in approximately 1500 sq. ft. basement and it keeps the humidity level at 45%. I hope this helps you decide. i have never had a problem and it is easy to operate.

my remote came with #'s 1-4.. so In order to figure out my code without looking at the receiver was put all the switches closest to the word "on" and pretended I had all "0" like Otto listed in answer 1.. and moved the switch downwards where he put a "1" ... so his 0100 was my 1234 and the"2" was moved downward - my fan worked instantly!

Hi. My take on this switch, which I have been using in my system literally for decades, is that it is not picky about voltage. It works just fine for me as a pressure switch for my 24volt dc pump.

I recently installed one of these, it basically works as a switch, so you can wire it as you wish. It has an in-built humidity sensor, and an external sensor to mount outside. You can switch a humidifier and dehumidifer and a fan. I configured it to start the a/c fan and 1st stage compressor when the humidity raises above 55 or 60% depending on what you set it to, as I live in SW FL. Works better than I ever expected it too, lowers my a/c electric usage drastically, and prohibits the mold/mildew smell you find in this part of the country!

We have the thermostat regulated ( by trial and error ) to maintain 40* in an unfinished basement . Works very well . Need 220v and a 20 amp double pole breaker.

The humidity reading on my old unit that eventually failed got funky and was reading about 30 percent lower than what it should have been. But the replacement unit I bought over a year ago has been right on the money so far. What's weird, however, is that the humidity reading INDOORS on my MAIN unit has gone bonkers now and is reading about 20 percent less than it should be. So go figure. But I have a digit-readout humidifier that I use in the winter, so that's not as important to me as the temperature.
