Alan in Brazil

[alanhalley]

Hi, All,

I'm living on the beach in Brazil and am wondering how to keep the salt from my electronics. My apartment is 20 meters from the sea wall. I have no real need for heating or cooling in this climate. But average life expectancy on computers is less than a year. So I'm wondering if I can put a portable dehumidifier in my office to remove the humidity (and hopefully the salt along with it), or whether there might be a filter system that would do the job.

A low tech, inexpensive solution would be great. Everything metallic corrodes very quickly, especially air conditioners and fans.

Should I post my question in a particular forum?

Thanks.

-Alan

The Indoor Air Quality forum would be the perfect place for your question, a lot of smart guys visit that one.

What beach are you on? I was in Ilhabela a little over a year ago.

I live in Ilheus, Bahia, next to Praia dos Millionarios.
