Hi fellow miners.  I have an average build in the garage, 405mhs dual mining (9000mhs dcr) with 390s, 470x and 480s.  I do have one 280x, which I should sell.  The heat isnt really a problem so far, winter is coming :)  But my dog seems to start feeling the effects of the lower humidity in the house.  I put a humidifier in the bedroom for the night, seems to help, so my question is :  How to you guys manage humidity levels ?  I wouldnt be suprised to find sub 35% humidity in my house without the humidifier on dry days.

 I keep a spray bottle of water handy and occasionally walk around the room spraying a mist it if I see the humidity below about 30%.  It boosts the humidity for quite a while but I don't have any empirical data for you.  I also use this method in winter for long duration car trips but the spray bottle is much smaller.

Evaporative cooler aka "Swamp Cooler" - both helps keep the temps under control for a LOT less money than an A/C in low-humidity areas, and helps keep the humidity level up.


I don't worry too much about humidity levels though, the relatively dry air where I'm at now seems to be HELPING my sinuses a lot.

thanks for the ideas guys.  I'm all good with the dry air, but it seems to be affecting my dog which sucks :(  that spray bottle idea is pretty smart.  Now i'm thinking hooking that up to a controller to have it spray when humidity drops below 30%...could be fun, or could ruin my floor with water.  or both.

I just put a few bucket of water in the room and let them evaporate. That will keep the reasonable humidity there.
