Hi

Anybody have any reccomendations? Ours can get very wet inside during and after a session.

Thank you.

I got a Meaco DD8L 8 Litre Desiccant Dehumidifier as they can work in colder temperatures and our gym is in the garage so wanted the option to use it there, haven't actually used it in there yet though as haven't sealed around the garage door etc and condensation hasn't been that bad this year.

But it's been great for in the house in general, had issues with signs of mould around windows etc from drying clothes indoors in the past but no signs since using it really.

You have a split air con unit there, just run it or use dehumidify mode?

TBH the outside air is pretty dry if you want to just ventilate and reheat. My house is currently 35-40% RH all winter.

I don’t think I have that mode. It does have “dry” but from reading the manual it’s not a dehumidifier mode unless I’m reading it wrong.

"Dry mode, also known as dehumidification mode, is an air conditioner setting that reduces humidity levels in a room. It's useful in humid areas where the air feels damp and sticky, even if the temperature is not high. "

Ha, yes what I read was very wrong. Admitedidly this was duroing a zwift session and phone googling between intervals was probably not the best place to research.

Just gone out and turned it onto dry mode. It's still dripping wet inside from this mornings session!
