Damp Chaser in old upright

[Don]

Hi Keith,

It was installed in the first year. I quoted a price and they went with the
*low ball* figure from another person. As to when it was plugged in
backwards I can only guess I know of no reason to unplugged the
dehumidifier side. The only reason I can think of for unplugging the
humdity side would be for cleaning the bucket. It looked like the pads had
never been changed. There was a great deal of salt build up.
