I run year round in Az with no Ac. It wouldn’t be possible without a wicking humidifier, aka swamp cooler. Find a grow supplier who makes a swamp cooler that fits indoors. You won’t.
Aircare MA0800. Hackable.
3 speed motor, 2 power wires and a float switch. Blue is slowest, black is full speed, red is medium pace.
Aircare MA1201. I’ve seen these with 2 speed and 3 speed motors. Both hackable.
You should have all 4 wires for all 4 speeds. Blue is slow black is fast, I forget 2/3.
^ Get rid of this robot poop!

I grabbed these overkill switches. They mount nice. A 5amp would be fine. I’m impatient at tracking down physical resources in a digital world. Amazon loves people like me. The mail lady hates it.
2-3 amp fuse at the switch. Power in through the orange float wire. If these wicks dry out they stink. I should be running bacteriostatic treatment but haven’t picked one out. Filters last a full run +. Just don’t look at them lol.
The large switch would not fit the MA1201 panel, so find a smaller switch or get crafty.
No more gauntlet runs to push buttons every morning
I like the dispersion that removing the display from the MA0800 allows, so this switch will be relocated and the display panel removed.
Both units can be put back to “stock” for warranty claims. I’ve had to oil one fan that got hosed off but other than that they work great. Some units have security torx screws and rubber plugs. Some don’t. Some also don’t have stainless hardware on the float.
Next step, program these things to replace mechanical timers…
Then we’re adding RO lines w/ floats
Then I can leave town for a week. Current limit is 3 days. The MA0800 holds around 3g and MA1201 holds ~4.5g
