I did do a search for this but I couldn't find alot of information. What was there was mostly about how to do the salt test.
Well I have two hygrometers, both analog. The larger one came with the humi and has always read at about 70% as it should. I picked up a tiny hygrometer a couple weeks ago to put in a travel humi I'm making. Till the travel humi actually gets made I was leaving it in my desktop humi. Everything was fine and both were reading 70%. I filled up the humidifier with more solution when I noticed that the humidity levels were slowly going down. Then all the sudden the larger hygrometer shot right up to 80% while the smaller one stayed at near 70%. I figured oh it's probably just because I had refilled the humidifier and the larger hygrometer is closer to the humidifier. I opened the humi for a bit to let out the excess humidity and closed it back up. I've been checking the humi regurarly and the two hygrometers have been consistently different. So last night I tried the salt test. Twenty-four hours later the smaller hygrometer reads 73% and the larger one reads about 80%. I'm thinking the larger one is screwed and from what I can tell there's no way to adjust it. Any reason for it to suddenly go out of whack? Any suggestions on what to do next?
Yes, I'm looking at some digital hygrometers on the net.
Thanks!
