I think I got too much swamp cooler for my home (in Denver, CO). It's
a nice, new pro unit and very efficient. Problem is that even on low
power, to get the house down in the 72-73F range, the humidity it's
putting into my home is an issue especially for all the guitars in my
basement. It's corroding the strings and hardware on the electrics
plus its wreaking havoc on the wood (which is the worse of the two
issues. I'm coming up on winter so I'll be switching to hot water
heat which doesn't introduce that kind of humidity, but for the next
season of cooling, has anyone run a dehumidifier to combat the excess
humidity a swamp cooler was introducing? If so, how did it work?

Thank you,

Matt
