news:104k06u$3oooa$1@dont-email.me...I wonder if it would be worth my while to plumb in the backup unit
inside the machine room for redundancy? It would only be drying already
dried air anyway.

You could plumb it in with disconnect fittings such as unions and flex hose and make a straight pipe replacement from the piece cut out to quickly swap in if you need the dryer elsewhere. I did that with a tempering tank in the water heater's feed line and swapped when a weld on the tank began to leak.
It's a Monel (copper+nickel) electric water heater tank with mild steel angle welded on as supports, contamination which apparently saved it from recycling at the scrapyard. Some day I may grind or etch out the rusty steel and TIG the holes with nickel or Nickels.
