I think their hygrostat is not well calibrated.

I bought the cheap humidifier to see how well the hygrostat works in conjunction with it. It's just as easy to hang the wet rag. But, I want to be able to get away from the meat from time to time. We'll see how it plays out. I would love to just set a timer, time will tell.scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999377705570241912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141023070186314448.post-36731773051093354752009-07-23T15:42:46.637-07:002009-07-23T15:42:46.637-07:00Ever thought about hooking an ultrasonic up to a c...Ever thought about hooking an ultrasonic up to a cheap timer(X-mas lights, etc)?

However, I have gone through 2 humidifiers in 6 months, I'm not sure if you have to go with cheap ones and discard them frequently or get a top of the line model. Right now, I am hanging a wet rag in my chamber as I try to make a decision about the machine. The salt water pans will work well, but, you really need to babysit them. Also, I'm sure you read Jason Molinari's blog, you pretty much get your hand held.scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999377705570241912noreply@blogger.com
