I'm having a problem with my wineador, firstly is the the water build up from the condensation at the bottom of the chiller. I was trying to emulate as much as i could Bart's wineador project without going too technical and i'm not a technical person. So during the build stage, i installed a water drainage of sorts to collect all the condensation, which was quite effective. And then installed some PC fans for air circulation. Ran it for 15 minutes every for 4 hours. I don't want to drill any holes so i just ran through the door, it was tight enough seal it was keeping a good RH. The problem is the container (in the first picture) that i was planing for the water reservoir was filled up every 2 days. And i didn't see point of emptying reservoir every 2 days, its just wasn't practical for long term storage. So what i've done now is put a big container at the bottom and at the top, fill it up with kitty litter but i still have to switch it around every 7 days. This is still not ideal because if i was away for a long time then the whole thing would be flooded and secondly i cant put my fans for air circulation because the container takes the whole space. FYI, Malaysian weather is mid 30s to low 40s Celsius all year round and about 60-70 plus RH. I'm running a thermoelectric unit and with the current set up my wineador is quite running 20-21 Celsius and 61-63 RH. I have racked my brains i cant seem to find an ideal solution, can somebody advise me what i'm doing wrong or is this normal with thermoelectric? Cheers Zain/Zinzan
