WRT Basements and Water Heaters and De-Humidifiers, the problem I have with the De-Humidifier is more that it heats up the basement. (I tend not to rurn it and just deal with the humidity which isn't too bad. L likes to turn it on.) So, having it power a Water Heater would be a win. But, then wouldn't it need a drain? (OK, I can see you could drain it into the hot water tank directly and since no one should be drinking hot water, but I can see back-flow problems and ...) My basement is below grade and has no drain / sump-pump.
