Wet T shirts

Aug 15, 2011 6 Replies

Well we've had 4 g/kids for three weeks now and 1 adult visitor. The children don't half generate some washing and wet clothes from the pool, as well as just playing out in the rain and drizzle we've had for a few days.



Yesterday saw 2 large washes which weren't going to dry in the drizzle and raised humidity so it was time to get the dehumidifier out.



Worked a treat overnight in the utility room.

What dehumidifier do you use? We have been considering getting one as an alternative to the tumble drier.

This is a cheapish (B&Q I think) 'Amcor' made in Isreal, last night it took out about 2 litres of water. Apparently works better in conjunction with a fan in the room, but I haven't tried that.

Any idea what kind of power this is using?

typical power levels about 200w. Mine runs about 1/4 of the time when drying, so 50w average. Adding a fan massively speeds things up, and reduces energy use.

Better than I was expecting, and certainly something for me to consider.

Tanks!

Is the general opinion that cheap will do? Having looked around, cheap seems to be about £100 from a real shop, or £70 on eBay etc.

Anyone got any suggestions for a good source please?

Thanks.
