I guess in winter you wouldn't get too much moisture in the air anyway. I get a good dribble from mine here in the UK, even when in use for only a relatively short time. It's easy for the cooling effect as the air pushes spots of water out for the water to freeze. I like Russ' air-bleed that stops it building up. Mine is a horizontal tank though - not so handy for keeping drained. Dave.
