I actually dont put water in the bottom of the incubator but i use 2-3 small jars i keep full of water with no lids. its easier to monitor the water level and to add water. deli dishes work good too.

I have the plastic liner tray in the bottom of mine, so I put water in it, put the wire square over that, then put my containers with eggs on top of that. Using water does seem to help keep the temp down and the humidity up, in my opinion.

If you set up your egg incubation containers properly there is really no need for the extra water in the Hovabator.
