Product Overview and Features
The Spider Farmer 16L Humidifier is designed for efficient humidity control in various environments, including grow tents and large rooms. It features a digital display, adjustable mist levels, a timer, and a remote humidity sensor.
Digital Humidity Control

The humidifier features a digital display and controls for precise humidity management. You can adjust mist volume across 4 levels and set the desired humidity from 35% to 95% in 5% increments. An integrated hygrometer provides real-time humidity readings.
Sensor Probe and Expandable Tubes

The external sensor probe accurately displays ambient temperature and humidity. The included expandable tubes allow for comprehensive humidification, especially useful for grow tents, ensuring mist reaches all plants. The unit can be placed outside the grow tent for convenience.
Timer Functionality
A 12-hour timer allows you to schedule operation in 1-hour increments. The large 16L (4.2 Gallons) water tank supports extended operation, with a maximum mist output of 1400 ml/h, suitable for commercial cultivation environments and large grow tents.
360° Nozzle and Wheels

The humidifier is equipped with four tubes that can spray mist in a 360° pattern for even humidity distribution. Integrated wheels on the base facilitate easy movement of the unit.
Split Design for Easy Maintenance

The humidifier features a split design, allowing for convenient top-fill water addition and easy access to internal components for cleaning.
