Another thing that works is to put a plastic tent over the tank with an extractor fan on top that vents outside. This means the air above the tent is always under negative pressure with respect to the room and the moisture can't get into the rest of the room! The fan only need to be tiny like 5 watts... more than enough.

Let me tell you a story, all sitting tight.
There was a man who was asked if he could provide showers for 60 dirty chaps every 8 hrs. Me For the tunnel tigers working in the new Stratford Tunnel.
Having install 14, 300lt un-vented hot water cylinders with quick recovery coils, we got over the shower problem.
Then what happens !! big ruffty tuffty tunnel tigers complain about the cold water that drips of ceilings etc ( bless um ).
Then some bright spark, came up with, you guessed it Gazza, humidity stat and extractor fan, works a treat.
So my intention is to hopefully do the same albeit smaller.

Hi All
Bit more done today

Roof goes on tomorrow, then we can get flying with the fitting out.
My intention is to have a small 2 tier shower full of B H M, over the fibreglass tank.
Was also thinking of a layer of titanium balls, on the top layer of the tower, but would need to fit a UV light over top so the balls, bask in UV light.
Is it as simple as getting say a small strip light but use a UV bulb
Maybe that dame fine chap, Gazza can help
