duane v Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 So I purchased the one below with extra filters and another bottle of Bacteriostatic Treatment stuff. Thank god it's going to rain for the next few days. A good investment for those that don't keep their guitars in cases. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087KN4D8S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna get it from the garbage area and buy a new fan and use it in our bedroom, as we have sinus issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled the brand / model. then found the part # for the fan. replaced the fan for $38 versus having to buy a new unit. I keep one in my bedroom too for the same reason. Sinus issues ... still, 7 years was a pretty good run. at best I've gotten 3 years ... Edited February 22, 2023 by Karloff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap.. I’m wondering if I could’ve googled the Motors Part number & and wonder if I could’ve replaced it for a whole lot less than the $1600.00 I paid for the replacement?

You'd be foolish not to have one in your basement(assuming you have a basement) as they get really damp three out of four seasons. And I have a fine working humidifier attached to my furnace. Seems all the dampness centers in the basement and not the rest of the house. Go figure. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 you never know. over the years I've more than a few humidifier systems, till I tried replacing the faulty part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 A whole house humidifier right on the furnace. House is at 47% - 52% all year, everybody is comfortable. Need a dehumidifier for the basement, tricky, but we make it work, same range down there. rct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang No basement, it's a rare Florida home that has one, as most of the state is not that much above sea level. No furnace either, it doesn't get that cold. But it does get humid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, I know it gets humid down there. Whitefang Melbourne is about an hour north of me. I grew up near Ft. Lauderdale. It got too crowded there so I moved to Ft. Pierce. I will not move any farther north. Why? The state park at the Fort Pierce ocean Inlet, is the northernmost point where tropical vegetation grows wild. North of that, every few years they get a light frost. And as far as I'm concerned, snow and ice only belong in two places, (1) the top section of your refrigerator or (2) in your cold drink. Definitely NOT in your yard. And yes, it's humid. Especially since I don't use the air conditioner. I grew up without it, don't like it, don't need it and don't want it. I cool my house the old-fashioned, passive way. I have a bright white roof and I planted shade trees around the perimeter of the house, but not over the roof. The hot air rises over the roof, and the cool air from under the trees come in to take its place. No matter how hot it is outside, it never gets hotter than the low 80s in the house. When I was a kid, everybody cooled their house that way. That's better for the environment, and saves me a few hundred dollars per month too.

Whitefang Nah, I wish. But those are only in Tarzan type movies. Coolies charge a lot of money for their services, and I play music for a living (that means I'm underpaid). But I did play in a club where the ceiling fans had blades that looked like palm fronds many years ago. Notes ♫ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
