I recently set up a 120 qt. Igloo coolidor. Inside I have a 25 ct humi (full), a 50 ct. (full) and a 100 ct. (half full). All humis were seasoned with distilled water and wet sponges place inside for 48 hours. I have 1 lb. (dispersed in 4 seperate pantyhose bags) and a 2 oz. tube of Heartfelt 65% beads and 2 Oust fans. I use a Hygroset Adjustable Hygro which I have calibrated with both the salt test and with the One-Step Humidipak. I've placed weather stripping around the closure margins of the cooler to improve the seal.
Since our house temp here runs around 76*F during the summer months I have been putting 2 re-freezable approx. 10 X 10" ice packs which I replace daily. I place them in a freezer bag and wrap them in a dry hand towel. This keeps my cooler temps between 65-70*F.
My humidity levels in the cooler are running between 52-56%. I've also noted that my beads are turning white after 3-4 days and need to be re-sprayed with distilled water. Should they need to be re-wetted that quick?
I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem? Perhaps the dry hand towels around the ice packs are absorbing the humidity?
Any help or guidance is very much appreciated. Thanks!
