Hydra Discussion

[caudio51]

The Hydra is designed to automatically regulate the humidity inside humidors up to 8 cubic feet.

This revolutionary electronic humidifier measures relative humidity twice a minute to provide the most accurate RH reading available.

The Hydra even features the Hyrgo Set technology to allow for easy display calibration.

Furthermore, the Hydra has two ports to allow up to three additional fans (with optional splitter) to provide better circulation to help eliminate any "RH pockets" typically found in cabinet humidors.

No need to check your water level either, the Hydra has a visual and audible indicator to let you know when you need to add distilled water.


Features:
- HygroSet™ adjustable technology for easy calibrating
- Two external fan ports
- Audible and Visual low water indicator
- Large LED for easy viewing
- Reports humidity reading every 30 seconds
- Instructions included
- Dimensions = 6"L x 2"W x 3 3/8"H
- 110v
- 1 year warranty

Optional Accessories:
HYDRA-SMCART - Water Cartridges
HYDRA-SMKIT - Fan Kit (fan, splitter, cable)
HYDRA-SMFAN - Individual External Fans

I'm assuming the resevoir is refillable?

 

[cvm4]

Mark carries it for $85, unless we're talking about a different model :dunno:

Probably just like the CO, slide the top off and refill it.

The water cartridge looks just like the Oasis Cartridge so I assume so.

 

[caudio51]

It's refillable.

Cliff, we're hoping to get a discount.

 

[cvm4]

So that's the goal? :dunno: :rofl:

I'd want 1 + a fan.

I was referencing your comment about the cost.

 

[cvm4]

Mark me down Tom! Quit yer gripin'... :rofl:

 

[jwintosh]

i'd be interested in a couple, with 2 extra fans each!

This thing is a bit pricey for what it is. I was also told by someone at bargainhumidors that a 'larger' version was in the works.

After adding all the fans to the Hydra you are in the 110+ range.. Also the fan cables are really short (under a foot). Atleast for my needs.

You can get a moist-n-aire for just a bit more

 

[caudio51]

Not really, it offers a lot more than the cigar oasis and is not much more.

 

[cvm4]

So what is this on par with? What capacity can it handle? I'm just looking to replace my CO in my 100qt. cooler.

 

[dpricenator]

they say 8 cubic feet.

 

[cvm4]

Which is? LOL

Easy enough to splice in longer wire.

Yes, compared to the COXL it's a 'deal'... compared to a Moist-n-aire or even 'step up' to a set and forget for a bit more, and have a real system you could move into a large cabinet.

 

[Mindflux]

Easy enough to splice in longer wire.

Why should I have to? For a system with 3 fans it should have a good amount of wire to spread the fans around for circulation.

 

[dpricenator]

Which is? LOL

What do I know? I'm new to this whole active humidifcation thing. I just got a CO XL and finally got it to stabalize my Winecoolerdor. Until it breaks I'm good with that.
