Window Ac not digital and Toshiba 70 pint with auto restart so I can run both on controllers.It gets upto 85c in my grow room in the summer or hotter and humidity around 40-50. I want to be able to control both, looking for good/inexpensive options. looking to stay under $500 for BOTH units... I need atleast 8000BTU and 40pints on the dehumid.
A kandi pro water cooler on intake and fill with icey water depends on size 300 mm is around 350 bucksIt gets upto 85c in my grow room in the summer or hotter and humidity around 40-50. I want to be able to control both, looking for good/inexpensive options. looking to stay under $500 for BOTH units... I need atleast 8000BTU and 40pints on the dehumid.
my issue is if i run analog i have to take screen out and all my vents will have no protection from bugs. why i need a portable unit.I use a 5000 BTU analog control window unit for a 10'x10' room. It's my second one in 10 years and the price range has usually been around $99-$120 for these basic no frill units.
Double boarded up my window, inside and outside. Also painted the outer board black with a dark screen over everything so it looks like a tinted window unless you're up close next to it. Cut a hole in the boards and mounted the AC in there.
I prefer analog control on the AC so I can set it to high or low with power always on. But temp & power is controlled by a Spartan Series day/night thermostat controller. Set the desired temp on the controller and it will turn on the AC as needed. The controller is also analog but quite accurate and can cost anywhere from $60-$100 depending on the shop.
My cooling being all analog is not fancy or techy at all but it's a very reliable workhorse type set up. But it is getting harder and harder to find analog AC's these days as most have some sort of digital control. There's one on Amazon for $166 but I'd look to walmart, HD, Lowes, for something cheaper if they have it

Why use an analog unit instead of digital? What is the benefit?
If you have it on a timer or controller that kills power then supplies power it will come back on if it's analog, digital might require a human to push a button on the unit.
Portable units will sick the air out of your space causing the outside to stiiiiink. Wall/window units are mostly sealed. There is only a vent for fresh air (that can be closed or blocked off) as long as you seal around it you don't really have to worry about bugsmy issue is if i run analog i have to take screen out and all my vents will have no protection from bugs. why i need a portable unit.
You have a basement? I'm so jelly. we live in a 3 room apartment. LOLWindow Ac not digital and Toshiba 70 pint with auto restart so I can run both on controllers.
If no window then I put a drip pan under the ac with a drain hose and put mine in the door so no holes in the wall. If it runs alot it will heat the room that the hot side is on quite a bit. Adding a dehumidifier will make the AC run more but both pull water. Not a big deal as my basement is always cool from the house ac.
They make inline filters now that you can exhaust portable a/c's through. I use a portable unit exhausted into a 6' inline filter theh pushed out the wall no smell at allPortable units will sick the air out of your space causing the outside to stiiiiink.

What fiter are you using? Can you share a link to the product?
https://www.amazon.com/Phresh-Inlin...ocphy=9014252&hvtargid=pla-312593714061&psc=1I believe this is the one that I use. It's actually come down in price since I've had it. It used to he 250. You just have to make sure you put your portable unit on the side that says fan, then exhaust out the side it says duct on. I had it reversed in the beginning and my ac was overworked like crazy lol
