Law
“Should” refers to what?

What do extractors do?
Extract water
What are used to increase the rate of evaporation and reduce drying time?
Air movers (fan)
What does LGR stand for?
Low Grain Refrigerants
What temperature range to LGR dehumidifiers work best?
70-90 degrees Fahrenheit
What removes water using silica, produces the driest air, and work good in cooler temperatures?
Desiccant Dehumidifier
These show surface temperature, and since surfaces cool when water is evaporating from them, cool spots can indicate where to look for moisture
