Do you have any tanks now?

I've done HVAC for 20 yrs and installed many systems called Desert Air units which dehumidify, cool and heat particular spaces with high humidity problems. We used these units for homes built with indoor swimming pools. These pools were over 14,000 gallons and all contained in the house with all the other rooms, never had mold issues in the homes. only draw back is they are very expensive. Just thought I'd post info about these units incase someone is looking to do another large tank.
Marinelife i don't have any tanks now, i did try a few smaller ones but they just weren't the same as the big one.Sir Crabby, i know what your talking about, but the pools are probably in rooms that are sealed from the rest of the house(at least the ones i have seen here in Michigan are) which is why the units you install work.I had the tank so it was impossible to seal it from the rest of the house( i never took humidity as being an issue when i built it).By the time i noticed the mold issue it was too late and any additional humidity would of only made it worse.The mold was coming from behind some of the drywall and the walls were getting mushy.It wasn't long after i took the tank down that the mold cleared up and the mushy walls were hard again.
