   Hi,   
      
       Does anyone know if there is a dehumidifier,  instead of using   
   a humidistat setting,  allows you to set the time on and the time off?   
      
       Example: Set the dehumidifier to run for a half hour, then be off   
   for an hour.   This cycle repeats over and over.   
      
       Almost all new dehumidifiers have electronic controls.   
      
       My mechanical control dehumidifier recently "died".  I used an external   
   controller I made that employs a binary counter.  The dehumidifier, which was   
   set to "Max", was plugged into this external device.  When the power was off,   
   in effect it is the same as "unplugging" the dehumidifier.   I used this   
   system for years and it worked GREAT.  Note: I use a humidity gauge.   
      
       PROBLEM:   
      
       With electronic control dehumidifiers,  "unplugging" (in effect)  the   
   dehumidifier for a half hour or more,  most likely will cause it to loose the   
   settings.   
                          Thanks in advance,  Brad
