Looking for info on Electronic Humidifiers

[craig]

I've never noticed a problem with excess sofar. Its been setup for about a year now. I've been meaning to get a couple pounds of beads anyway just to be on the safe side.

We get some days that are pretty bad (central PA north of reading), but it doesn't last that long. Usually around July / August.

You have a sh*tload of thick spanish cedar in there as a humidity buffer, so your need for beads is much less than in a coolerdor.

Back to the original poster: one thing to watch with active humidification is power outages. My Hydra's do not turn back on after a power outage - and when I turn them on manually, the setpoint has to be reset from the default 70%.

If the coolerdor isn't going to be accessed very often, then you don't really need an active system - the fan and beads will do the job nicely. If you want to spend more money, consider a wireless or remote hygrometer like an Oregon Scientific so you can monitor remotely.
