    Q:Hello, I just bought and am trying the unit around my house before taking out to some clients' homes. It says on the package that "know whether to dry or replace affected area" but the unit only says "Low, Mid, High" so which of these is replace?
    by|Apr 4, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  The high indicator would be that point where replacement would be recommended. However the choice between drying and replacing is completely up to you and your level of comfortability with drying out the material properly and cleaning any potential mold formed from the high moisture.

      Q:Can I use on laminate flooring? If so, what mode wood or bldg mtls? Thank you
      by|Mar 21, 2023
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  The pins must penetrate the material in order to take a proper reading, you will not be able to penetrate hardwood flooring with the pins. You will need one of our pinless moisture meters to properly read the moisture of the hardwood flooring.

        Q:In instruction manual it says ?If the meter is properly calibrated, the displayed reading will be 18.3% � 1% in Wood Measurement mode. ?. Mine reads 18.5%? is this a problem?
        by|Mar 21, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  No that is not a problem. The ±1% means that the range is 17.3% - 19.3%. A reading of 18.5% is well within that range, and would be considered within tolerance for accuracy.
