I’m commenting to follow along with any replies. I’m preparing for my first hatch ever and my husband bought me the HHD 48 and it’s giving me a heck of a time. The humidity is the worst part. I can’t keep it steady. I’ve been trialing it all day and playing around. If I can’t keep it consistent without needing to add water frequently then back it’s going to go. Good luck!
You will need to tape the seam of the box top closed with painters tape or something similar (all the way around). It isn’t a tight seal and lets all humidity out. I also cover mine with a thick beach towel. If need be- also tape the rear and bottom vent. Best of luck!
You can eset humidity alarm down to 1 to avoid alarm. Hold the set button, then + or - for the humidity setting. Hit set again. Then adjust humid down to 1.
I used this machine last year and had an 8/9 hatch
. I’ll let you know how it goes!Thank you for that input. I actually chickened out, pun intended, and decided to send it back and purchase a Hova-Bator instead. The Hova-Bator is slightly less advanced with features than this (bought the genesis 1588) but it is so much more reliable and basically spot on. I feel much more confident trying to hatch eggs in it that I’m going to spend decent money for.
Ok not quite sure what your circuit board looks like inside but I just opened my matching and there is a timey speaker and another plus for the screen. My temp and humidity plugs were separate. It should be very easy to fing when u open your bator up. I had to take pliers and squish the dam speaker. And pull it off and pulled the plus of the gage also. Very easy on my second hatch the dam humidity gage stopped working I think I got water in it when washing it out for new hatch. Good luck hope u get it cause it drove me nuts.
