I've watched the water meter and it doesn't run unnecessarily, so I can't find any source other than humans and cooking(and my wife buying too many plants, but that isn't going to change). From my understanding, most new houses are so well sealed they have humidity issues without an ERV/HRV. So I figured that's where I am at now. I could be wrong.

All new houses have to have an HRV or ERV. HRV's will take excess moisture out of the air but that's not what they are primarily for. They recover heat from what is being exhausted and warm up the fresh air. You will see less moisture in the air because you are constantly getting fresh air.
