Take off *what* humidity? You still don't get it. Why do you think I bought
the swamp coolers? To add humidity to the dry air.

They do. This is why I bought them and compared to AC, they were not
expensive. This is all a moot point. Even if I did want AC, I flat out have
no money to buy it.

No. Why? That stuff is there for medical reasons and is frequently being
used for that. We have four people in the house right now. Normal summer
temps. No one is suffering. I have no clue why you want us to have AC right
now. As for the fan and ice thing, I have tried it and it doesn't work any
better than just a fan.

Sorry. I never made it past high chemistry. But I can tell you that it
doesn't work. I have tried it. Many years ago.
