Title: Maintaining proper humidity level Post by: fr4nkthetank on October 19, 2016, 03:23:39 PM 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.

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.

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.

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.
