Paul, Use the "wet" humidistat to start. It's calibrated to achieve 51% RH (not 55%) and it is the best solution. Then, if that still doesn't achieve a high enough level for you, consider moving the humidistat slightly further from the humidifier. That adjustment is only meant for fine tuning, though, not a major change. That's why they have the wet humidistat. William R.
