Anyone tried a peltier dehumidifier in a grow tent?

I run a 70 pint a day dehumidifier in my bloom room heat is not an issue the DH heats up when it has to do alot but once the humidity is down it doesn't put out alot of heat , I will say that I'm planning on shutting down inside June 15th until Aug to avoid the humidity in the cellar
 
if you water coco every 3 days it works well but you have to keep an eye for lockout problems , the nutes build up salts after a couple of weeks , when I did it that way I watered with nutes then after a couple of weeks I would water with plane water just use twice as much water to wash out the build up
 
I have tried about a dozen different humidifiers.
My preference is top fill, ultrasonic.
These put out dense, low-velocity fog that needs to be blown around the tent by a fan placed below or behind the fog.
I have two of these in a 3 x 3 x 8 tent sitting on speaker stands a few feet above the floor, along with one heater.
I leave mine on 24/7, but the humidity will go up a lot if the temp drops during lights out.

Bottom fill humidifiers are a pain, and I won't use one.
Forced air, non-ultrasonic humidifiers might work in your space, but they put out far less humidity than ultrasonics.
It's important to use only distilled or RO water in the ultrasonic types. Otherwise, your plants will be snowed on by potentially harmful "white dust."
The same argument might apply to forced air types to save on replacement filter/wick costs.
Here's my most recent purchase:
 
Looking for a dehumidifier for a while which make less noise and easy to operate also have some auto restart features. I read a post https://dehumidifierslist.com/ where i found two 70pints dehumidifier of homelabs and lg puricare. Can anyone suggest me the best one out of these?
 
The air you put in is the air you put in. Putting a dehumidifier in the tent won’t solve that, just make it hotter in there. You need to look at where you’re getting the air from. It’s not much help to you now but I find that having the day cycle when it’s night outside helps keep temperatures and humidity in line.
 
I bought a 70 pint dehumidifier put it outside my room and the damn thing wouldn't remove any moister ,I complained and got a new one same thing happened ,well it turns out they dont work so well if you turn the power off they are plugged into . Yup I did the best part was how long it took me to figure it out lol
 
hey oldjarhead100 Paracelsus here lurking around again, Oh this crazy world. How's that dehumidifier working now that you plugged it in. LOL.
What Kind did you get and is it very loud?
