Musty Basement and Dehumidifier

这里是中文译本。

Does your basement has musty smell?

-- No? Congratulations, you can enjoy your basement more frequently. -- Yes? Congratulations, you came to the right place. This article may help you.

Must smell is usually caused by the higher humidity, the higher the temperature, the more moisture in the air. That is the summer season, which has mold problems. We have tried the "opening window to ventilate" and "putting the soda to absorb", failed. Finally, bought a dehumidifier, to the end to the issue.

We did a lot of comparative researches, and finally chose this one: Kenmore MD 70 pint dehumidifier

After about one-week of running the dehumidifier, the musty odor was significantly reduced, and no musty odor at all, after two weeks.

Usually it sucks a tank of water within one or two days. When emptying the tank, make sure hold the bottom of the tank. It is said that the handle on the tank is easy to break.

Very quiet. We can not hear any noise upstairs, while it is running in the basement.
