Question About reservoir temperature

[GpsFrontier]

my thing is which would be better a cool mist or warm mist humidifier

What's the normal air temp in the room? If the air temp is on the high side, than cool. If the air temp is on the low side, than warm. However I'm not sure that they make humidifiers that put out cool mist because cool water (humidity) condenses quickly (dryer air output). 40% to 50% humidity is much better than 16%, but 70% to 80% is much closer to optimum greenhouse conditions.

well normal temp is up and down example today indoor 70 F and humidity 30%

I have been thinking about it, and I could be wrong, but something doesn't make scene to me. I think either your humidity senor is off, or your not reading it correctly. Because Like I said 16% is extremely low. I live in the desert and our humidity is higher than that during this time of year. You said you were in Cleveland Ohio, so I checked the weather there, and it says currently you were at 86%. Now there will be differences between inside and outside humidity levels, but nothing even close to a 70% difference. Not withough't running Dehumidifiers constantly...

maybe I did read it wrong -- (Indoors) right now it says 30% Humid & 81f indoors outdoors its raining

This All Current For Euclid Ohio 44132 (Suburb of Cleveland)
Current 50f
Precipitation 100%
Humidity 96%
Wind 9mph

It's normal to have outside humidity in the 80's or 90's when it's raining, even afterword. Typical for your area I would expect around 50-60% humidity normally on a nice day. 20% difference between inside and outside would probably be normal. But beyond 30% difference I would say something in your home is acting as a dehumidifier, HVAC system etc. or your humidity sensor/s are off. Especially when you say when you got up today your humidity was 16%. That's just too much of a difference to make scene naturally. There is no way your humidity should be that low in your area. That level is equivalent to the desert (where I live) during the hot dry July and August months. Even at 30% indoors now, that's about a 50-60% difference between inside and outside. Why is there such a drastic difference??

Good Question check this out here layout of my apartment


Don't know what could be causing the reading maybe sensor bad like u said
I but and different kind meter to see if this one bad

also my AC/HEATER unit is up on wall and I also
have baseboard heat which aint worth a crap and
also my patio facing towards lake I get a lot wind and cold
air that hit my unit directly

Here's A Look @ Both Gauges reading 16% or less Humidity I Knew I Wasn't Seeing Things lol
