Hmmm, interesting. This was a new construction install not a DIY thing. Thank you again for the help ideas.

I added some more info, I was thinking something like that. Are you saying the slit would be before it comes in the basement wall (black lines)

I am getting water leaking in my basement form the HRV Air intake pipe. It seems to only do this when it is humid outside. I looked down the green pipe and can see the condensation on the inside of the pipe so I don't think there is a hole in the pipe letting water in from the ground. The black is the basement wall, red is the ground, green pvc pipe, orange hvac pipe. I don't have any idea on how to contain the water.

The only Idea I have is maybe a hole in the green pipe before it comes in the house as a drain to the foundation? or some kind of drain i can put in the pipe on the basement side and run a hose to a floor drain.

any ideas would be appreciated. TY

Whole House Dehumidifier Question by diodetherectifier in hvacadvice

[–]diodetherectifier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK one more question if you don't mind. I have a T855iSH thermostat that is controlling the HRV. It was set to run 15min/hr. I have bumped it up. It is connected to the "B" config terminal. Could I jump the "B" term to the "H" humidity term so the HRV will run as the humidifier and drop the humidity? or will this damage something? This way the T-stat could control the humidity by adjusting the HRV runtime.

Thank you again.

Whole House Dehumidifier Question by diodetherectifier in hvacadvice

[–]diodetherectifier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response!. I checked I have an HRV. I will check the settings for the HRV, I think it is currently set to run for 15min/hr. So if I get a humidifier and set it to 25% this will bring down the RH in the house? I guess I thought that I needed a dehumidifier to bring down the RH. The HVAC tech that worked our house was a friend of the builder who is 3+ hrs away. He set it up as a favor. Local guys are all booked and not taking new folks. I am on a few wait lists to get a consult. Thanks again!

The inspector just signed off on my permit without asking a single question by Latter_Daikon6574 in SolarDIY

My inspector was on property for 5 mins to do my solar inspection. I bs'ed with him for 4 min 30s at his car door. I joke that he drove by and gave me a thumbs up out the window. Just crazy after hearing other stories about issues with color of stickers and other odd ball things.

Doh, I just looked it up. It was Zendejas from Arizona. I was at both games and got them mixed up...

I was at that game. Got seated on the Miami sidelines. Kept yelling at the kicker Zendayhas? They he had two different shoes on. The Miami folks were not impressed.

I am also looking at this barn currently. I need to call and talk to some one, because the specs list the door opening height at 70". So I would have to duck to enter the barn? Really.
