    MR. SLIM blowing humid air, any help?

    I have a MR. slim MS-A12WA, it blows air 24/7, either cold air but when not cold air it blows regular air, and lately it's been very humid, the room, which does have exterior french doors, has been getting 60% humid.

    When i turn off the mr. slim, it gets less humid but also warmer. Any way for it to blow less humid? Thanks.

    A/C's do not add moisture.

    The fans on minis run 24/7

    What is the Heat load where this 1-ton unit is located?

    not sure about the 2nd part, its in a cabana pool house off the main house, there are double french doors to get in but i am guessing part of the reason is outside proximity, but damn, it just gets so humid in here lol. i bought a humidity sensor, main house is 35%, guest house is 55-65%

    I actually do have a dehumidifier, some zenith unit but its so damn loud. i can get it down to 40% humidity, but it ends up going back to 60%, there is also a vent from the main house ac, when that is blowing the humidity drops about 8%

    Heated pool adds a lot of load.

    55 to 60% RH for a pool house is not out of line. What temp are you maintaining in the pool house, and what temp are you maintaining the pool/water at.

    We dont use the heater for the pool but the room is near the pool.

    I held the humidity sensor right to the vent on the mr slim when it was just blowing regular air lightly, and it was over 60% humidity, thats part of the reason i think.

    also, noticed the filter was very dirty, looks like greyish white lint/dust... could that be contributing to the humidity?

    Do not measure the discharge air. Just an average of the room is fine.
