Hi,
I posted this message in another forum, but most of the forums seem really slow latley, so I thought I would try it here. By the way, it is unrelated to my previous post. Here is the message:
Hi,
I have been trying to set up a humidifier in one of my enclosures that needs 60-100% humidity. I was thinking about going with a habba mister, but many people said they were junk. I have a couple of ideas to make a humidifier.
1) Take a warm mist humidifier(or some other household humidifier) and fit some PVC tubing into it. I would then have the PVC tubing go up the heighth of the enclosres, then fit an elbow joint to the end and have a length of tubing go across the width of the cage. I would drill holes in the tube running the width of the enclosre to allow the humidity to escape. I would hook it up to some sort of timer(though I don't know what kind) to have the humidifier turn on every once in a while. Does anyone know of a good timer that would work for this, like a sprinkler timer or someting? Does this idea have any problems in it? Does anyone know if this could keep the humidity high enough?
2)I would get a pond pump or a similar pump and submerge it into a bucket of water. I would then have tubing run up the highght of the cage and then across the width. I would then fit mister noosles along the width of the tubing every few inches or so. I would hook it to some sort of timer to come on every once in a while. I am unsure if I can find a pump that has enough PSI to pump water 5-6 feet. I also have the problem of the timer.
By the way, the enclosure this is for is 5ft tall, 4ft wide, and 18" deep. This enclosure is a temporary one and I will need this humidifier to humidify an enclosure a bit larger than this(maybe 6 ft tall, 4 ft wide and 2 ft deep).
I am not sure if either idea would work, but they both seem like good ideas to me. If either of them have problems, please tell me what they are. Thank you very much for the help, Josh
