This is a little out of my area of expertise. I want to use solar power to run one or more dehumidifers - to collect water. I have a lot of sun and not enough water. Daily humidity is low but nights very high. I will need to collect energy during the day and run the dehumidifiers at night. So storage is critical. I know atmospheric water generators exist and work but also doubt some claims. I would welcome advice and suggestions from anyone with more experience, expertise or imagination.
Thanks in advance
I received my DreamStation2 under the recall replacement for my original DreamStation a little over two months go. I have a few questions and comments below. There was a fair bit of information available online about the old DreamStation and 12-volt power usage; this one is too new to have that info. I'd appreciate any info/real world experience others may provide on this subject.
- I notice that the new unit uses A LOT more water than the old one for the humidify feature. It needs to be refilled about every other day! The old one could go a week (or more!) between refills. Is this normal? Any settings to adjust this?
- I frequently travel in my camper off-grid and use a 12-volt adapter with my old DreamStation. Is the 12-volt adapter compatible with the new unit? (I know I need to just take it out to my camper and try it, but I'm wondering if others are doing this.) More about this: I have a camper van and often disperse camp without hookups for days at a time. My onboard 12-volt system consists of 2 Trojan T-105 6 volt batteries wired in series for 12-volts and a 140 watt portable solar panel. I can charge the batteries using solar (dependent on sun, of course) via the alternator when the engine is running, or when plugged into shore power.
- Related to question 2 above; on my old unit I was able to detach the humidification chamber when traveling off grid, thereby saving significantly on my power usage. Is there some sort of comparable process to turn off humidity to save power on the DreamStation2?
- Again related to 12-volt usage, can you anyone reference the specifications for power usage/consumption so that I am able to calculate the amount of power I will expect to draw from my finite 12-volt system each night when I am traveling/camping/off grid?
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
“BOOM”?!
