Humidification

Maybe I'm suffering from CRS, but didn't someone here (Kathy? Wendy?) query recently about humidifiers/foggers to replace a dead Hydrofogger?

Mine died recently too, and I decided to replace it, rather than repair it.

I bought the Jay-Bird Aquafog Hydro SS 700, in the direct-feed model (no sump = fewer moving parts). Got it yesterday, and installed it (using essentially only my one "good" hand) in about 30 minutes (while my wife was out, so she couldn't yell at me).

I have it connected to a humidistat, which turns the fan on and off. It is plumbed to my RO supply, and the flow runs continuously (whether the fan is on or not), but the excess drains back into the RO tank, so who cares?. Water flow is controlled by an included flow meter/controller, which is also a way to manage things more precisely: low flow = "dryer" mist and longer "on" periods, higher flow = heavy fog for shorter periods.

If I was using tap water as my supply, I would probably have the humidistat control a solenoid valve in the water line, leaving the fan running (and providing more air circulation). I'll probably do that eventually, anyway.

It is absolutely fantastic!
