Herbach and Rademan (800) 848-8001 http://www.herbach.com sell a nice
brass $4.95 Navy surplus humidistat, item number TM89HVC5203, with a
20-80% range, a 3-6% differential, and a 7.5A 125V switch that can be
wired to open or close on humidity rise.

And if the control fails?

We suffocate like dogs.


Low tech way of getting humidity into the air and saving on heating
bills!

A pan of water near the heating duct .......... over it, under it,
whatever ...... near it.

Is this an example of showing me?
