Stellenbosch notes on dehumidifiers
A quiet compressor unit with a humidistat suits a student bedroom, a rental flat or an old Cape house in town, and a drain hose avoids emptying the tank every day. Wine cellars and barrel rooms look at industrial or desiccant units, with ducted systems for larger halls. Offices and labs at the technology park may want units that keep a stable reading all day.
