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. Perhaps going form HW tank venting up the chimney to direct also reduced a path for humidity to escape?

Lots of plants? Like lots and lots of plants? How large are the plants? A good sized ficus or philo will definitely raise your humidity a lot.
