Re: Cold nights, rainout, and all that jazz

I run mine at the max temp 86 with the climate hose and my bedroom temp is between 60-65 ( I like it COOL ) hose is absolutely dry with no hose cover. At those settings my humidifier tank is approximately 2/3 empty after 6.5-7.5 hours, bedroom humidity level is 40 percent.
