Which one?

If I were to use a timer, does it need to be a heavy duty one, or will a standard timer (type people use with lamps) be safe? What specs should I look for?

Thanks again!
The Dayton control is OK and offers control based on %RH. The timer will overrun the dehu during low %RH and may not operate enough during high %RH.
Keep us posted.
