    what humidity gage do you use?

    Do you guys go all out on a high dollar gage or will a cheaper model suffice? I'm looking at this one: General Tools PTH8707 Humidity Meter-Digital. Sorry I couldn't seem to get the pic or link on here but it's about $40 and is a small handheld/pocket unit and looks to be nice. I was just wondering if a humidity gage is something that you could get away with spending like only $10-$15 on and still have good reliable readings, or if it's recommended to splurge on something better. Thanks

    12 bucks, Walmart. It's what just about everyone uses, it measure hot spot, cold side, AND humidity. Very reliable.

    I use these:

    They're inexpensive enough that I keep one in every tub.

    That was my next question actually. How do you measure the humidity in each tub? Do you have a gage for each one and keep them in there or do you have just one gage and check each tub separately?

    Oh I didn't know if you were talking about just a single enclosure, or a rack lol my bad. One enclosure, what I posted would work fine, if in a rack/multiple enclosure, what Slim posted.
