Took the humidity right when the lights came on today... 69% humid....one hour after lights came on it dropped to 63. i then plugged up the area where the air from outside was comin in from (in hopes that dryer air would come in under the door) and it dropped to 61. i am curious to ask people would turning off my vortex for 15 mins out of every 60 mins and then turing on the dehumidifier during its off cyle would that help alot? i am surpiserd covering up the area in which the damp air comes in only dropped i t2%....very interested to hear 3what others have done to drop it a few more degrees. other thing i could do is get the fan on a dimmer and set a timer to have it very lightly going during the time in which the dehumidifer is on...can you set the fdan to dim 15 mins out of every hour or no
