Help!! Tank causing issues for Air Conditioner??

Hi Everybody,

So according to the air conditioner repair people my 120 gal tank in my living room is creating too much humidity for out side unit air conditioner to properly cool the house. I don't know that I buy this. The temp in the house keeps slowing climbing as the day goes on. Has anybody had this issue?

 

It sure doesn't seem like it should be. I plan on trying a dehumidifier. I'm concerned the exhaust from it may be too counter productive.

 

They say that the air being blown into the house from the AC is 55 degrees. How can I be receiving 55 degree air and the house temp continue to climb to just shy of 80 degrees?

 

Truth be told just yesterday I overflowed my RODI storage bin by quiet a bit and soaked a chunk of the carpet in the basement. Where is the air typically drawn from that goes to the AC? Could the added moisture from this be a big cause in the issue?

 

thanks for the feed back @Roman . I know there are a lot of people out there with tanks at least as big as mine. Have any of you had any issues like this? From what I'm getting from @Roman my AC may have been just big enough for the house but given the additional humidity from the RODI spill and the 120 tank upstairs I have exceeded it's limit perhaps....?

 

ok. I will do that. Thanks @Buku !

 

I do have glass tops. I have been keeping them partially open though to help keep the temp in the tank down where I want it since the house is getting warmer. Kind of a catch 22 going on here. I really think now that the issue started when I had some overflow on my RODI water. That put me behind the ball on humidity since it soaked some carpet in the basement. I'm hoping once I get that completely gone I will be back within a working range... We will see I guess. Thanks for all the feedback.

 

Ok I will do that. Thanks @xroads !

 

This will be the 3rd summer in this house. I've not had any problems at all in the past summers. Do you guys think the RODI spill could be the biggest issue here? It's been like 3 days since the spill and the carpet is still pretty damp. I have 2 fans and 2 dehumidifiers running in the area of the spill. The size of the wet carpet area is probably 5'x5'. I picked up a couple humidity measuring devices yesterday and set those up. One in the basement right by the area of the spill and the other right on the tank stand ledge upstairs. Both are reading 50 - 51% humidity. This falls within the comfort range which is <60%. So this measurement gives me pause. What do you guys think?
