will this unit reduce moisture in the air in my garage?

All it will do is move the air around in your garage. It is not designed to remove moisture. You will need a dehumidifier to remove moisture.

No, it is a simple saw-dust dust filter, not a dehumidifier. To remove moisture, you will need a true dehumidifier and piping to drain the condensed water (that is removed from the air) to the outside. For this to work efficiently, the garage needs to be fairly air-tight. Air exchange from large gaps around the doors will overload the dehumidifier.

I doubt it. Its function is to remove dust particles. I suppose if your garage is very wet, some moisture will be attached to the dust and removed that way. I found a de-humidifier the best solution, but, it was possible to plumb it in, so I had no problem of disposal.

Hi Diane. The moisture will be removed more completely with a desiccant filter. Feel free to email us at support@tekton.com or call us at 888.648.3371, if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!

You could do so by mounting the unit to a larger panel that is cut to fit your window opening. The dehumidistat may not be the control you want, though. You may want to either set it to the lowest humidity setting, or bypass it, as you probably want to control the fan by your garage air temperature. Check to see if company offers similar unit with thermostat instead.

Should do a good job. I added a fan above it so it would circulate quickly in my garage which is 450 sq foot. Never need it on high. I would insure there is some fresh air for the room for safety.

No, you will just send the moisture back into the basement air. Get a real dehumidifier.

Never!!! These Peltier type devices become much less efficient when humidity is below 80%. My RV interior is less than 14' x 7' and the Eva-Dry 1100 couldn't lower the 75% humidity more than a few points. They are really designed for a small closet, in spite of their claims. Houses are not air-tight and this small device can't keep up with the air exchange from the outside.

yes but very minimal. It does increase the moisture in the air. We love ours. Good luck.

There is not a specific humidity level the unit is set to. It runs continuously to remove any moisture within the designated area.

It will dehumidify my 500 sq ft basement (open floor plan). I have to empty it EVERY day!! I like it, it is pretty quiet, just wish I got a 45 or 60 pint unit!!

No. But you will need a pail to collect the water. When the air "conditioner" is on it will take water out of the air to lower the humidity. My experience was that I needed to empty the pail several times the first week or so, but then once the humidity in the room went down, I only had to empty it every few days. I do like my unit.

Unfortunately, definitely not. The system works outdooors but will malfunction sooner or later if exposed to moisture. Larry.

It helps eliminate moisture in an enclosed area. Not sure about stopping mold; don't think so.

No, you will need an air compressor, with pressure regulator, filter and moisture trap.

It might help with the condensation. It pulls much more moisture from the air than the passive units with charcoal, etc., but you would probably need to keep the door to the bathroom closed to have it really make a difference. Mine draws only about a quarter of a cup/day from a mid-sized bedroom with the door open, so it should do much better in a smaller room with the door closed. It is still a big help in keeping the summer-time humidity down in the bedroom.

I'm not sure, but my guess is yes. I use it for the chicken coop and it helps eliminate the odor as well as absorbing moisture.

A purifier would not add any moisture to the air. If your air is dry, you would still need a humidifier.

I haven't experienced any significant moisture in our year of use so far,George ...I run it in a basement apartment that also has a dehumidifier but we haven't had to use it for moisture yet. Our apartment ''we rent out'' has two bedrooms and a kicthen so if any moisture levels out heater works great also easy to clean and install well worth the money/effort
