Last year the refrigerator was unplugged, the AC was set at 80 degrees with no (de)humidistat and our spa pump ran 3 1/2 hrs a day. I feel that the (de)humidistat was a really good $75 investment. As you can tell, I'm not sure whether it's call a humidistat or a dehumidistat. I'm pretty sure that the box said humidistat. I'll have to check when I get back home.

I googled de-humidistat because I wasn't sure either. It's a de-humidistat. Here's what I found:
