Hygro ?

phobicsquirrelphobicsquirrel Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 7,349
I have 2 hygros, one is a little havanna and the other is a well I don't know. Anyway the little havanna is about 21 RH off of the other one. I've tried to reset the havanna and by that I mean I took the battery out for about a month, used a boveda pack to recalibrate it and it still showed about 80 RH. I'm wondering if anyone has one and if they know how to reset it properly? I am pretty sure my other one is correct as I just recharged the beads in my humi and it moved up to 63 RH from 58 and is staying steady. The havanna though was showing 70 last night when my other one was showing 62 and now the havanna is at 81. Anyone know of a hygro that's really reliable?

    Hays sent me one of those. I calibrated it and it was exact, right on 75%. So far, I love it!

    I have two after seeing Hays recommend them - one I haven't opened yet, and one that is about 6% low. Seems to work fine, but 6% is a ways off, lol. No biggie. I'll open the other one. For $7 it is a steal.

    On your suggestions Hays, I purchased the same Hygrometer. So far it works great and you can't beat the price.

    I've been planning on ordering one of the Humi-Care digital hygrometers they sell here on Ccom with my next order. Does anyone have any experience with these?

    I have one that I got 4 weeks ago and it just crapped out on me. Going to try a new battery, but something tells me its shot. Was working good up untill then

    Bought a Springfield a week ago. Salt tested it twice. When I take it out of the Salt test container (an ice cream pail), it responds quickly to the change in humidity. Most I can get is 60%...Wait...61%. What gives? I'm almost ready to break down and buy a Hygroset but skeptical that I'd get what I pay for. I DO wish the Wally-world ones could be adjusted but then they wouldn't be as 'economical'.
