I just got a puck of beads last week and was wondering if anyone has put their beads on the underside of the lid? I know some of the humi's have a spot with the hygrometer under the lid but I'm afraid of leakage from the beads, am I being paranoid or what?
I've had my beads for about 2 weeks now, and my don carlos digi hygro seems to be stuck at 71RH. I have 2 pucks, 1 is all saturated, the other is only like 20% saturated with distilled water the rest of it is dry. I am thinking that the digi is just off by 4 or so but could it be that my 65% beads aren't working? Or do they just have to sit there a while.. I've had them in the humi for little over a week. I do have sticks in there as well.
You should definitely test your digital hygro. Just because they are most accurate does not mean they can't be off, in which case the salt test would tell you what your correction factor is. Standard salt will work fine, just be sure that you don't have a little bit of salt with your water, but rather just enough water to make your salt damp but not soaked.
