I need recommendations for a new humidifier as my current one is cheap and I want automatic RH shut off. It only needs to cover 400 sq ft so it shouldn't be to expensive. Been on Amazon for ideas but there are so many types I get loss. I've read that the "wick" style really works well but you really have to maintain it regularly and use solution or else you run the risk of throwing mold spores everywhere. What's my best option for that sq foot? I thought about just buying an Inkbird controller but honestly my current pos can't keep up sometimes so there's no point. Any help is much appreciated.

Any humidifier is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and molds. Preventive measures including bleach help curb that.

Consider running a good room humidifier through a controller instead of trying to find one with onboard capability.

Thanks for the input. I went with a Venta Airwasher LW25. I like the filterless design and output. I purchased the Inkbird 2 pack, 1 for the humidifier and the other for the AC/Heater. I was looking at a UV light for my building. Do people use these in grow ops?

That I would not know. I know we used them in dialysis water systems to disinfect. Part of the system before being used in dialysis machines.
