nov2304 from Lloyd Erlick,

Yes, it's amazing what a difference a dehumidifier
makes. Mold and mildew are such persistent ... well,
I'm tempted to call them adversaries. It's wonderful
that a simple home appliance like a dehumidifier can
end the problem literally at the turn of a switch. And
it's a real bargain, too, considering the potential
loss of negatives and lenses, not to mention
electronics.

I agree with Lloyd - My darkroom is in the basement, and without the

Thanks to both of you - you've convinced me to get one.


nov2304 from Lloyd Erlick,

Check the Goodwill or Salvation Army shops in your
area. You might get lucky and find a dehumidifier very
cheap. Many times people discard one because it
'leaks', which usually means the plastic bucket inside
to catch the water has either shifted out of position
or developed a crack. It's quite rare for a
dehumidifier to fail because of some deep inner
mechanical reason.

If possible, stand the unit over a floor drain and
eliminate the inner bucket. Also if possible, get one
that has a bucket with an attachment for a garden hose.
The hose can be placed conveniently and out of the way,
albeit circuitously, so the machine can drain with no
attention.
