humidity controller - Orchid Board

tomancreed · #1 02-19-2008, 09:47 PM

Anyone aware of a Humidity controller device, I am thinking about something that I could plug my swamp cooler into that would turn on/off like a timer does buy instead of time on the % of humidity.
As of now I just have my cooler in a timer that turns on for 10 min per/hr. Works ok but would like to explore my options.
Thanks
TC

I have a humidifier that I can set the humidity level of. It turns on if the humidity gets lower than 50%, and shuts off when it is optimal again. They are pretty common, I think...

If your the do-it-yourself type, you could always "canabalize" an old dehumidifier/programable humidifier and take out the humidistadt.

You can usually find some on craigslist or even thru some local thrift/resale shops. Good times.

Also, there are some sites that have some products, but they can sometimes be expensive.
