Found a small amount of condensation at the base of the right upstairs air handler, photo below. I do not know why this would be here. The upstairs huiwas much higher than I like to see. The humidistat dial clicked on of at about 62%. This means it agrees with my meter and the thermostat set to 78 and reaching prevents the system from running and in turn prevents the humidity from being removed. I placed the thermostat setting to 76 and almost immediately the AC came on blowing cold air. The pool has fabrics on the bottom, photo below.
