As dehumidifier I have two pots of Zilch as I do not have mains power at the ob. I have never had a wet floor with this arrangement.

This has kept my permanently mounted scope dry and mould free for some years. I must say though that as a precaution I keep my eyepieces in as sealed plastic container with silica gel sachets.



Just my experience
Chris
Chris,

Sounds like a well thought out interesting design that works well for you
Cheers
Martin
