Hello all. I'm considering on installing a fan in a small (5 x 10) basement bathroom. The space will have a shower, toilet, and sink. There is one window. So does anyone have any experiences with these humidity sensors? The fan I'm considering says the fan starts at 40% humidity. Is this a reasonable level? Any other thoughts on this system. The fan is a Delta Breez VFB25ACH.
Thanks in advance.

They work well Delta Breez VFB25ACH Ventilation Bathroom Fan (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&pq=delta+breez&xhr=t&q=Delta+Breez&cp=21&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&wrapid=tljp130438867762300&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=16239800309759938035&sa=X&ei=WmS_Tc22IsaUOsPdsfgE&sqi=2&ved=0CEEQ8wIwBA#) However I noted that the same fan without the sensor is expected to last 70,000 hours or 8 years. Delta makes no claim on how long this fan will operate so I am left wondering why. Humidity sensors are touchy little beasts and I am not at a point where I plan to buy one, yet.
