are mr slims reliable enough that you can get them off craigslist or best to get them new?100% correct.
if im up in the nw and setting up a basement would i want to properly insulate the room? or would it be a good idea to throw up walls and ceilings with no insulation so the heat can dissipate faster ( im going to go open hood) ? I would still seal off the room so i can use co2 just trying to decide i was just reading a threadIf open hood then 2 lights per ton so a 5 ton will do 12 lights 99% of the time assuming room is properly insulated. Need 7.5 to 8 tons for 16 lights. You can look for a unit with an economizer for outside air. Wouldn't recommend it if you want a sealed room. Mini splits only come in 3 ton max for a single zone unit. The multizone 4 ton units are way too pricey.

where it seemed like alot of insulation but then i was curious in a situation like the nw where it is really only hot (90s) for two months it seems like you would be trapping more heat in the room ?
Hi CJohn. I have a few questions and I really hope you can help me.
I'm reorganizing and I've got my eyes on one of these for an 18KW room:
This room is pretty packed with plants and I have issues during the dark hours with humidity. Right now, I'm venting during the dark hours but I'm not so happy with that because in a few months, it's getting too cold outside.
I looked into adding dehumidifiers but buying 205 pint Quests is quite an investment. :/
Now I heard that it's possible to let an a/c air-handler also operate as a dehumidifier if I add a heating element. Is this true? Or do I need a different type of air handler for that?
It doesn't sounds very energy efficient but apart from that, would it work if the ac is cooling (and therefore dehumidifying) and re-heating it afterwards? I need the heater anyways.
And if that does work, what would then (more or less) the capacity be in pints for this 10 ton unit?
I also saw something that in order to let an air-handler dehumidify, it needs to have a variable fan speed. Is this true? Or just more efficient?
I'm asking because if adding a 30KW heating element can avoid me from buying dehumidifiers, that will save me a ton of money.
Well you guys were right! Just tested the circuit I wired to the air handler and it was at a staggering 277v. Totally my fault! I can't thank you guys enough I wouldn't have been able to solve this mystery with out you both.
Transformer is coming in Monday. Going to move that breaker off the high leg in the meantime

Sweet man, do up a journal for us :)replaced the transformer and rewired the circuit Monday.
