Therm/hygro

I picked up a couple acu-rites last night to replace my flukers digital gauge. The acu-rites are both reading 71% humidity (he just started shedding.) The flukers is reading 99% humidity. Im betting that the acu-rites are better calibrated than the flukers, So this means my humidity has been THAT for off. i dont think thats good. Does anyone have any experience with these? I think Flukers (even though it costs twice as much) is junk.

Sometimes my flukers gets wet and has an outrageous reading. Turn it off and let it dry out for a few days and try again to see if it works.
