Many newer humidifiers have digital programmable timers. When setting your humidifier it is important to remember to maintain a healthy humidity level. Most agree the optimal healthy humidity level falls between 30% and 50%. Humidity that measures above 50% creates a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, while humidity that measures below 30% increases the likelihood of cold and flu viruses spreading.
