How long can I leave my ultrasonic running?
    #8124053 - 03/09/08 05:13 PM (16 years, 10 months ago)

So my fruiting chamber is a smaller version of the martha style FC. I use cool mist humidifier with an ultrasonic humidifier (the ones you use for reptiles, exoterra i believe). Can I leave the unltrasonic on 24/7 if thats what is needed to get my humidity up to 90% or should I give it a rest every so often?

Ultrasonic...probably not, cool mist, yes. Search the forums.

I'd be worried about water pooling from the ultrasonic.

until it breaks :smile:

i keep mine running nearly 24/7 on LOW, not many people do this though. the only reason i am able to do that without pools of water in my FC is strong ventilation and lots of FAE, the way i see it, the goal is to have the highest FAE with the highest Rh, a well ventilated FC with an ultrasonic running nearly all the time on LOW produces very nice results

now, the negative side to this is I don't expect my little LED fogger to last more than a few months, but its well worth it

also, i should clarify that i'm talking about the small single disk LED ultrasonic fogger which has a setting of high and low, keeping it on low all the time works for me

Awesome, I think that i'll run it for the majority of the fruiting cycle, however I may put a little perlite in my drip pan to help out if I do have to turn it off. Thanks for the insight shroober.
