Importance of measuring the relative humidity
level in your home or building:
Molds, dust mites, bacteria, viruses,
and other harmful microbials thrive when the relative humidity in
your home or building exceeds 50-55%.
If you suspect high humidity, and/or
problems with mold/dust mites/etc., then a humidity sensor (also
known as a moisture meter, humidistat, or hygrometer) is critical.
Measuring the relative humidity in
your home will tell you where the problem areas are, and whether
your moisture-reduction and control strategies are effective.
In which case, the only question
becomes, which humidity sensor should you choose?: (Humidity
Sensor Buying Guide).
Keeping relative humidity below
55% will minimize:
-
Indoor Mold &
Fungi
-
Bacteria
-
Dust Mites
-
Dust
-
Viruses
-
Other Microbials
Which
Relative Humidity Sensor is best for you?
Price. If cost is the most important factor to you, choose the
810 model.
Large Display. If a large display is the most important factor, choose the
811 model.
Indoor/Outdoor Temperature
Display.
If it is important to see the indoor and outdoor temperatures at the
same time, then select the 810E or
811E digital humidity sensor.
Humidity Sensor + Time and Alarm
Clock.
If you want a clock without an external sensor on your humidity
sensor choose the 810C or
811C models.
Indoor/Outdoor Temperature Display + Time/Alarm Clock.
If you want an external sensor as well as a clock
on your digital humidity sensor, then choose the
810CE or 811CE models.
