R-Com Suro 20?

I have eggs set in a Rcom suro20 and up till now it was keeping humidity at 45, now that I'm in the last stages I need to increase the humidity but eventhough I've increased the speed of the pump its not maintaining a humidity of 65 or over and I'm worried that the fluctations in humidity will affect hatch rate. Has anyone used one before and any idea how I can get it to maintain a constant humidity??

I've got a King Suro 20 on loan for review at the moment and am just about at the high humidity stage for hatching before I write my review.
When I tested it during a dry run, it was fine but if you can't get the humidity up, as an emergency measure, add some wet kitchen roll doubled over several times to about 1/4 normal size (5 or 6 pieces), the end dipped into some water to increase the water evaporation inside the unit. If humidity goes above 75% for a day, reduce the surface area of the kitchen roll.
The rate of evaporation / surface area of the kitchen roll and amount of ventillation will determine the humidity in the air as well as the external humidity in the air being drawn into the incubator.
Hope this is of use to you... good luck.

i am a Rcom suro20 user aswell just need some assitance from you if you dont mind, im on the second day of hatching process, my first query is that i would like to no the amount of water you have to pump into the icubator for a day or for an hour, unfortunately the catalog that i have does not enclose all the details, also i'd like to know if i have to cover the incubator with a cloth to prevent it from sun light.
if you can please provide me any other necessary tips if available
thanking you

My other breeding friend sprays his eggs on the very last day and while they are pipping with a house plant water spryer, spraying a fine mist, works a treat at keeping the humidity high enough to help the hatch....
Fingers crossed for your next hatch..xx
NO water was pumped in last night so, is the pump meant to drop water ALL the time or only when required? I know the pump is working and feeding the correct way when it is 'forced' to pump (+ button etc). Is the humidity in the incubator affected by the humidity in the room that the incubator is sited in therefore no extra water required.??
Thanks..
Air hole/ vent is not open. Should it be? Humidity still holding steady at 45%.
Thanks
You can find it here: RCOM King Suro Review.
I hope it helps others looking at this incubator. I've still got one going strong here, overall I'm very happy with it.

The RCOM 20 is pretty good too, I had it before this one.
