Ok, we all know how tedious it is burping jars. Well, I saw a video on YT where the guy automates burping several dozen 5 gallon buckets with a crazy system of valves and hoses, and figured, what the hell, I can do that, and I have the key component, the air pump, already anyway.
So. I had previously designed some replacement caps for my mason jars that incorporated a hygrometer. Still like that design, and will keep it. Version 2 I added a few holes for air to get in / out, but kept the hygrometer. Version 3 was just the two holes, but bored me, so here’s my version 4.
Mind you, the room is between 72 and 82F (depending on if the dehumidifier runs non stop or not, once the furnace kicks on, the dehumidifier will be off as it really dries the house air). The humidity has been kept 60-64 rh max. These are 64 oz mazon jars The bubbling jar was just to show me the airflow from each jar and won’t be staying. The jars were all over between 57 and 63 when I initially started the system, and the hygrometers in each jar evened out at 60% in 30 mins. I’ve since put it on automatic, and we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Timer currently set to be on 15 minutes, off for 2 hrs, 45 mins, repeat cycle.
