Hatch due next week.

Hi guys I need help. So I have RCOM suro incubator which raises the humidity through a water pump. There are no water reservoir in this incubator as the pump drips water onto a humidity pad. My water pump is no longer working. What are the alternatives to raise the humidity during lockdown,? Can anyone tell me please, also I dry incubate and raise humidity on the last 3 days, what are the recommended humidity level ?

Does that last you through the whole hatching period?

I use half a sponge during incubation...just wetting a fourth of it each time I turn eggs.. which is 3x's a day. Then I put two whole sponges all wet for lockdown. I have them where I can wet them during the next few days through a hole. Not sure of your bator. It really doesn't take much. Helps them from getting gooy at hatch time.
