I looked to find a new humidifier of a decent size new. If still made they are hard to source. Adds stating holds 6 liters were all too common. Where the older ones hold about five gallons.
So I took our old one and basically rebuilt it. The light breeze now feels warmer. Even at a lower temperature.
I have hit my desired humidity point of 45 percent. It took about 5 gallons Canadian or 6 American. Possibly the rate of water introduced may fall as the house finishes coming up to the moisture content.
It surprised me just how low the humidity went initially. We did not have the typical nose bleeds etc. My mouth felt dry in the morning and the wife was coughing though. Both seem to have been eliminated.
I wanted to add that I do not think the change is just by a quick adaption to the change. Increasing the humidity was probably 90 percent of it. It is almost like I am siting on a sand beach now. With a pleasant warm sea breeze flowing around me.
Until opening my eyes and the reality occurs. It is going to snow here tonight and tomorrow.
