latex in drysuit + water heater + dehumidifier

[Sprinter]

After washing my drysuit which has latex seals, I keep it in my basement to dry out. I have a dehumidifier running to keep my basement dry. There is a water heater nearby although since I live alone, the gas fed water heater is lightly used. Should I chose another place? I can't move my dehumidifier away from the basement.

Thanks.

I don't know, but when my 3 month old Whites Drysuit developed cracks in the zipper between the teeth, they blamed it on me storing it in too dry an area. It was out in the garage in a room I built for gear storage, being heated by a space heater, which sucks all the moisture out of the air.

But I still have a feeling it was a cop-out by Whites.

Yes, they did replace the suit, NC.
