It seems that no matter how much I screw in the screw adjustment the
water pressure seems low.  The Multi-Pure doesn't work well, the on
demand Hot water heater doesn't kick on.
What's up.  I was told the way to up the pressure was to tighten the
screww, Could that be wrong?

Yes, tighten (CW) should raise pressure.
The reducing valve may be broken or city mains pressure is low.
Start with a call to the utility to see what assistance they will offer.

I mean a mechanical control.  My tongue got tangled, or my virtual tongue,
my fingers.

Hi, I don't mean to put the dehumidistat outside my house, but rather on a
wall inside the house.  "external" meaning external to the dehumidifier's
control.  You put the dehumidifier on continuous dehumidify, or on a very
low humidity setting, and give it power through a dehumidistat switch.

I probably got an answer to this ... Somebody told me what you to is
connect the R and G terminals to turn on the fan.  So the dehumidistat
switch would connect the R and G terminals as well as turning on the
dehumidifier.  Also they told me that if there's central AC, there would
have to be a relay to avoid feeding power to the AC.  I don't have AC now but I
might get it.
