RH beads VS electronic humi

[usmc-walker]

so i am currently having my shelves built for my edgestar 28 wineador and planned on using 1.5 lbs of heartfelt 65% beads (1lb in the bottom, and 4oz on each side about half way up) but i came across one of the humi-care electronic humidifiers and was wondering if that would be easier/better/cheaper than using the beads. just curiosity.

stick with the beads

Agreed. Ron knows his stuff. There are multiple post on here about beads and thats what i went with also. Another thing is you cant have "too much" beads. I went with 2# in my 28 bottle. Just a thought.

ok sounds good i was just wondering why people dont use the electronic humidifiers, i figure there must be a pretty good reason everyone goes with the beads instead

Check out that link. Too many things can happen with a CO .... just spray your beads down when needed and you're good to go. Its almost stupid proof.

We live in the same state (when you are home) and not that far from each other, trust me, you don't need active humidification in this climate unless you keep your AC really, really low and running constantly. Even then, probably not.

And now you get to go back and forth as to which beads to get lol ...

Yeah I have active humidification in all of my humi's but our humidity is usually in the 20% range and even in my avallo I go though a litre or more a month in water. More then I would want to have to rely on Beads for at least. That said I do run beads as well in my humi's that aren't as well balanced as well and rotate them from top to bottom.
