Got a new humidifier. I can choose the % level I want it to make the
humidity. Of course the higher I set it, the more water it uses. And
it can use a lot!

Anyway what would be a good % level to set this sucker at?

Thanks

Hi,
If you have too much humidiy in the house windows will fog up.
Also if humidity is too low you'll feel dolder in the house.
If you want to be scientific it involves indoor/outdoor temp.
dew point,etc.

typically you want your indoor space at 45-55% RH. in the winter, when
you're actually using the humidifier, shoot for 45% and don't be
surprised if it's hard to achieve. If you get condensation on the
insides of your windows turn it down until the condensation goes away.

good luck

Wow! I think that % would use many water refills of my humidifier. It
has two tanks each 3-5 (about 2'L X 2 1/2'H X 2"W) gallons big. The
water goes fast!

The number may or may not give you an accurate humidity. I
set mine where it's comfortable, but not high enough that
water collects on the insides of windows. Mine can dispense
up to two galons of water per day.

When I was growing up, we had NG space heaters. Granny would set a pot of
water on the top of the space heater (HOT) and let it simmer merrily.

Seemed to work okay.

And, if you needed a boiled newt for a snack...

Worked on the cast iron radiators too.

I have a big pot of water on the stove set on low flame. I walk
through the kitchen a few times a day and check the water level,
refilling as necessary. Of course, it's turned off whenever I
leave the house. The ceiling fans keep everything stirred up. :-)
