Questions - Need some input

I have questions that need answers.

  1. Humidity

Will a dehumidifier (700 pint) be enough to control the moisture? If so, how often does it need to operate in a 24 period to do the job? I would hate to have it running all the time.
  2. Septic Tank

What would it do to my drain field? Does anyone have any experience on this one please. I have spoken to several septic people. They tell me that it should be ok because people use salt to soften hard water. I think the salt mixture is a bit more concentrated in a fish tank than a water softer system, but I could be mistaken. ...
