Dehus are rated at 80^F, 60%RH. Yours is 70 pint per day or +3 pints per hour. 10 hours should be 30 pints or +3 gals. 2 gals is a little lite. The heat comes from the electricity used and the moisture removed. Removing 3 gals per day should keep your home <50%RH. 24/7 operation should maintain <50%RH throughout your home. Will it maintain <50%RH 24/7/

I like the heavy duty Santa Fe Dehu but they cost more but are more efficient. Less heat, less electricty used, and more moisture removed.
Keep us posted.

Bear Rules: Keep our home <50% RH summer, controls mites/mold and very comfortable.
Provide 60-100 cfm of fresh air when occupied to purge indoor pollutants and keep window dry during cold weather. T-stat setup/setback +8 hrs. saves energy
Use +Merv 10 air filter. -Don't forget the "Golden Rule"
