Re: [Killietalk] air exchanger heat exchanger

To Rich and all else: I. too , experienced excessive humidity and the 
associated odors in my basement fishroom. A friend made his own fan to solve 
his fishroom problems, and just as I was about to follow suit, another 
fishkeeper alerted me to the following. Both he and I bought the Aqualight 
Cooling Fan Kit from Drs. Foster and Smith, ( DrsFosterSmith.com ). It is 
the 4 3/4 " 67 CFM, item #ABQ-22939, for $23.99, in their catalog. Although 
designed to cool off Fish Tank Light strips, when placed in the wall, it 
removes odors and humidity to the outside. The mini-transformer steps down 
the electric power to 12volts. The electric usage is not even noticeable! It 
is quiet and can be switched off or on to run continually. I bought a 
plastic cover flap from Home Depot to cover the outside hole I drilled in 
the house framing, just above my basement concrete foundation. The fan kit 
contains a screen and grill to help prevent "critters" from entering from 
outside. It was an easy and inexpensive fix to my problem.  Hope this helps 
others.
