Mold Alert

I discovered a tool that is very useful for me, called Mold Alert, by the same folks that make Kill-a-Watt.

Download Manual...

The unit has a digital thermometer and a digital hygrometer and a built algorithm that calculates when mold growing conditions are present.

When those conditions are present, a red light blinks and there is an optional alarm that will beep.

The unit does not detect mold, rather the conditions for mold growth.

Here where I live in the Pacific Northwest, mold is a big issue, and having a device like this is very useful.

I did discover that my basement is pretty much a perpetual mold garden... so some serious work really needs to be done down there.

The parts of the house that I don't heat are borderline, with mold growth conditions being met from time to time. The heated portion of the house is always safe.

I've learned a lot from this thing already, and I am interested how things look as we go deeper into winter.

Available from Amazon for $27.99
