Does everyone follow the humidity levels given in directions? 65 for first part then 85 for lockdown was it? Or something different?

Am I putting too much water in if its leaking out the bottom? My eggs are hatching but I have to keep a towel underneath the unit. Help???

I tried, but this model is nearly impossible to regulate. I sent it back and got another brand.

My directions said the that the humidity for the first 18 days was 50% or lower, then as high as possible.
1434317
I do not. I just make sure there is water in there at all times. I hatch chickens and turkeys.

getting the humidity level up, given the structure, is extremely difficult. I have found that using soaked paper towels id far better than "pouring water into the basin" is more effective. I intend to buy some sponges and soak them and see if that solves the need to service the unit every 48 hours because the paper towels dry out so quckly

I go by the humidity for duck eggs. there are a number of citations... it is between 55 and 65 then up to 75-80 for hatching.

I use mine for quail eggs, on 17th day I put them in a still air incubator at around 69 percent humidity while they hatch but while their in the farm innovator from one to seventeen days I keep them at 99.5 degrees and 55 to 70 percent humidity.....hope this helps

There are no controls or humidity function as part of the unit. Indirectly, any cooling unit by its functions will remove a certain amount of humidity. I have two of these identical units and in each one I keep an open Rubbermaid 1-quart container with water to help maintain proper humidity levels. I bought a digital temperature/humidity meter and with the pan of water, the units maintain 70% humidity +/-. I think you'd have to pay 2-3 times as much for a high end unit with humidity control. Overall I been very happy with the units.

I think it is just humidity but I will try and check that on the unit tomorrow and let you know.

We found out that humidity is everything. On a dry day the output is so-so. On a humid day it is incredible! Regardless, it is a great little machine.

There is not a specific humidity level the unit is set to. It runs continuously to remove any moisture within the designated area.

Good question. I've had varying amounts of success with this unit. Looking at my unit right now (on the inside measurement) I can see the temp, humidity, month, day,and year. On the outside I can see the current temp and two blank bars where the humidity goes (%). I don't think I've ever had my outside humidity reported. Hope this helps.

Yes, I did it all by myself. It was a little difficult putting it in the ground and getting it level. It was also about 85 degrees and very humid...but I did it!

There isn't much to set. The Temp. sets it's self once the dehumidifer is turned on. You would then set the humidity level with the buttons on the top right hand side. Ours is in the basement so right now it's set at 45. Other then that you would just check to see if the light is blinking on the left. If so, then the bucket probably needs to be emptied. Hope this will help!!!

It doesn't go by temp. It goes by how much humidity you have in your house. The dehumidifier will run down to temps of 45 degrees. Humidity in a house should be between 30 - 50. Set the humidity gauge on your dehumidifier to the amount of humidity you want in your house. I set mind at 40 and according to a separate temp/humidity gauge it is usually about 37.

I keep the humidity around 50-60%. As long as I wake up without dry throat, its all good.

Yes - I think you may have to step up to a larger unit. My space is a similar size, and now that warmer more humid weather has arrived, the unit is running almost full time to maintain 50% humidity. Although the unit is very quiet compared to other units I have owned, it still may be a bit annoying in certain circumstances (e.g. viewing TV in the area).

No...but I bought, sorry, can't remember exactly what it was called, a unit with temp. and humidity. I have asthma so humidity levels are important to me. Couldn't have been too spendy, I'm also kind of cheap.

One problem I had was it didn't come with a manual. So I don't know how the humidity level indicator works.

Set it something below 70% humidity (mold level), 55% is comfortable for me. It'll automatically start once that humidity level is reached (within a few minutes, anyway). I use the humidifier in my basement in the spring and fall (New England) when neither the A/C nor heat are on and humidity is highest. I have a hygrometer on the opposite end of the basement for checking its accuracy. It's fairly accurate, though it always seems to read a higher humidity then the hygrometer. For the start of either season, I let it run continuously for a day or so.

60 degrees to a "max" setting which is above 85 degrees. So maybe it's 90 or just steady 85. I'm not sure but I can tell you it works better than I expected it to. Works well!

I checked on my unit and the control goes down to 60 degrees.I have never had it lower than 72.I live in Houston and the room stays cold when the A/C is running.

Yep!...in the setup..you change 165 to equal a 1...this allows the dehumidify terminal, to be controlled by the outdoor sensor...peace and love!
