Wet Bulb Hygrometer Wick (1 meter) – Special replacement muslin wick for wet bulb hygrometers. Cotton material that wraps around the thermometer bulb and allows for precise measurement of relative humidity through evaporation. This consumable item requires frequent replacement to maintain accurate readings.

A customer wrote to me: "The wet-bulb hygrometer always read 100% even when the incubator was dry. I replaced the sock, which was encrusted with limescale and dirt, and now it works perfectly again. My mistake: I was using tap water instead of distilled water."

⚠️ CAUTION - CRITICAL MAINTENANCE: The muslin sock is the most important component for the proper functioning of the wet bulb hygrometer. It MUST be replaced frequently and ALWAYS kept moist with distilled water. A dirty, dry, or mineral-encrusted sock will cause completely incorrect readings.

When to replace: With each new batch of eggs, when the sock appears dirty/yellowish, if there are white scale deposits, when the readings are unstable or stuck at 100%, or if the sock no longer absorbs water well. ALWAYS use distilled or demineralized water to avoid mineral deposits.

What's included: 1 meter of cotton muslin wick, enough for several refills. Cut to the length needed to completely wrap the thermometer bulb.

Basic rules: The sock must always be kept moist, use only distilled water, tighten it well around the bulb, make sure it sits properly in the water tank.

Wet Bulb Hygrometer Wick (1 meter) – Complete Data Sheet


📦 Product information

Item code: 28 (HNB-K)

Italian name: Wet bulb humidity reading wick

English name: Wet Bulb Hygrometer Wick / Muslin Cloth

Material: Cotton muslin

Length: 1 meter (can be cut to size)

Compatibility: FIEM HNB wet bulb hygrometer + Fiem thermohygrometer

⚠️ CRITICAL COMPONENT - MANDATORY FREQUENT MAINTENANCE:

The muslin sock is the heart of the wet-bulb hygrometer's measurement system. A dirty, dry, or crusted sock makes humidity readings COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE , compromising the entire incubation.

Replace at each new incubation cycle!

🔍 What is the wick and why is it essential?

The wick (or muslin stocking) is the cotton fabric that wraps the thermometer bulb in a wet-bulb hygrometer. Its function is:

  1. Absorb water from the tank through capillarity
  2. Keep the thermometer bulb constantly moist
  3. Allow evaporation which cools the bulb
  4. Allow measurement of relative humidity

Principle: Water evaporates from the damp sock → the bulb cools → the temperature difference indicates humidity. If the sock malfunctions, the entire system is compromised.

⚠️ WHY FREQUENT REPLACEMENT IS ESSENTIAL

What happens with an old/dirty sock:

  • Limescale Deposits: Tap water leaves behind minerals that clog fibers.
  • Organic contamination: Algae, bacteria, mold grow in moist tissue
  • Loss of capillary action: Cotton no longer absorbs water properly
  • Incorrect readings: The hygrometer reads 100% (dry sock)
  • Delay in response: Humidity changes are not detected

Consequences for incubation:

  • You think the humidity is correct when it isn't.
  • Eggs too dry → air chamber too large → weak chicks
  • Eggs too moist → small air chamber → drowning during hatching
  • Drastically reduced hatchability

📋 When to replace the sock

✅ ALWAYS replace:

  • Optimal At each new incubation cycle/batch
  • When it appears dirty, yellowish or dark
  • If there are visible white deposits (limescale)
  • When readings are unstable or stuck at 100%
  • If the sock no longer absorbs water well
  • After prolonged periods of non-use

🔧 Replacement instructions

Necessary material

  • New wick (cut ~5-8 cm from the spool)
  • Distilled or demineralized water
  • Clean scissors

Procedure

  1. Remove the old sock: Unscrew it or gently slide it off the bulb
  2. Cut the new wick: Long enough to wrap around the bulb + draw into the reservoir
  3. Wrap the bulb: The sock must completely cover the thermometer bulb
  4. Tighten well: There should be no air spaces between the sock and the bulb
  5. Place in the tank: The free end should be sticking out of the water
  6. Fill with distilled water: The tank must be at least 1/3 full
  7. Wet the sock: The first time, moisten it manually
  8. Wait for stabilization: 30-60 minutes before the first reading

💧 DISTILLED WATER: MANDATORY

ALWAYS USE DISTILLED OR DEMINERALIZED WATER!

Tap water contains minerals (calcium, magnesium) that:

  • They settle on the sock forming white crusts
  • They clog the cotton fibers
  • They reduce capillarity (absorption)
  • They drastically shorten the life of the sock
  • They cause incorrect readings

With distilled water the sock lasts 3-4 times longer!

⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid

  1. Touch the sock with your fingers frequently: Skin oil contaminates the fibers and prevents proper absorption.
  2. Use tap water: Minerals quickly encrust the sock
  3. Sock too dry: If the tank is empty, readings impossible
  4. Empty tank: Always check the water level
  5. Never change the sock: After weeks it becomes unusable

🔧 Maintenance during use

Daily checks:

  • Make sure the tank is at least 1/3 full
  • Check that the sock is visibly damp
  • Make sure it fishes properly in the water

Weekly checks:

  • Inspect the sock for dirt or deposits
  • Change the water in the tank
  • Evaluate whether it is time to replace the sock

💡 Advice from 45 years of experience: It's better to change the sock one too many than one too few. The cost is minimal (€2/meter = several replacements), but the risk of losing an entire brood due to incorrect readings is very high.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How long does a sock last?
A: With proper use and distilled water, 2 months

Q: Can I wash the sock instead of replacing it?
A: Not recommended. Washing doesn't remove mineral deposits within the fibers, and the soap contaminates the cotton. It only costs €2/meter, so it's best to replace.

Q: Do I have to use distilled water?
A: Highly recommended. Tap water deposits limescale, which quickly ruins the sock and causes inaccurate readings.

Q: The hygrometer always reads 100%. Why?
A: The sock is dry, dirty, or no longer absorbent. Replace it and use distilled water.

Q: How many refills do I get from 1 meter?
A: About 10-15 pieces, depending on the length you need for your hygrometer (typically 5-8 cm per spare).

Replacement Fan 120x120mm (37/A) for CipCip...

€47.14
Availability: 999 In Stock

🌀 The ventilator is the incubator's lung, distributing oxygen and heat evenly, saving the embryos from dead zones! (Explodson.3)

At €38.64 (excluding VAT) , the 120x120mm 37/A fan is the beating heart of the CipCip 28/40 and Inca. When it spins, it creates the vital circulation that eliminates deadly CO2 pockets and distributes the 37.7°C temperature evenly. Without it? Temperatures would be layered: 35°C at the bottom, 40°C at the top. Disaster guaranteed.

⚡ This specific FIEM model is designed for gentle ventilation during the first few weeks. It's not an industrial fan that dries eggs, but a calibrated system that maintains humidity while moving air. It's the difference between hobbyists and professionals!

⚠️ When should you replace it? If it makes unusual noises (worn bearings), if it runs jerkily, if it doesn't start consistently, or preventively after 4-5 years of heavy use. A slow fan indicates low hatching.

💡 *"A customer from Bergamo calls me: CipCip 40 with 50% hatching. Fan not working properly. Replaced with a new 37/A: next cycle 91% hatching!"*

Specifically designed for Inca, CipCip 28 and CipCip 40. Quality metal bearings for extended life.
