## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use it to test without the 3foot cord with prongs at end or is that the only way to test?**
A: No, the prongs at the end of the cord is used to take humidity reading of the material

**Q: Would we be able to insert the probe on this into a foam mattress to check for mold? Not sure what it looks like since there's no picture of it.**
A: Yes, you can insert the two-pronged metal probe into a foam mattress. If there is moisture/water content in the foam, this will pick it up. I just don't know, though, if it will be way overly sensitive to whatever moisture is present. To see just how sensitive the meter is, wet the palm of your hand (for example, simply lick your palm), then place the probes across (not into) your palm. The moisture meter needle should go all the way to the maximum value. Note then how little moisture was needed to make the needle move.

**Q: I have a water leak in a pvc pipe. I need equipment to help me identify exactly where the water leak in the pipe passing through clay bricks, cement a**
A: I would give it a try.  I found the Sonin 50211 to be quite sensitive.  It should tell you if there is moisture along the path of the pipe.

**Q: How do you use this for testing concrete or sheet rock ? Do you just touch the probe to it?**
A: I have only used the device for checking subfloor in my RV - plywood under linoleum - in not sure exactly but concrete and sheet rock should not trip the meter at all - you should try a piece of dry rock that you know is perfectly dry - it would I think not trip it - and if you trip it at all after that then I would be suspicious if moisture - some woods have natural amount of moisture I think - not sure about those - good luck

    Great for price!!!
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2019*

I’ve got and old one and a fairly new one. Readings are a slight bit different but for home owner, painter, woodworking it’s close enough. Excellent for price and good tool for home owner.

    Inacurate reading rendered it useless
  

*by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2010*

We had house leaks and needed to continue to monitor the moisture level in the wood (ceiling) and drywall. My home inspector recommended this one as an inexpensive alternative to his $400+ Surveymaster moisture reader. However, this device was so inaccurate that made me doubt its usefulness.Off the dry wall, when the reading from Surveymaster was 22%, this one's was 15%. Two locations off the ceiling wood, Surveymaster vs. Sonin were 18% vs. 8%, and 12% vs 8%. All the readings were done on the same day by my experienced home inspector who used the devices in the exact same location w/ exact same direction (when pining into the ceiling) and tried to use the same force to minimize the error bar caused by mishandling.Sonin's readings were the same 8% even though there was a 10% difference in the readings from Surveymaster. 8%-12% would be considered ok for wood, but 18% is not. For example, mold remediation company would dry the ceiling wood below 16% before they put on the final coat. W/ such inaccuracy, I found it nearly impossible to have a good assessment on the situation and to take necessary actions.Another drawback of the product: the pins are not sharp at all comparing to the Surveymaster's. In test, the pins couldn't penetrate into some plywood area under the roof, and hence couldn't get any readings.In short, it is cheap for a reason. Use it w/ bucket load of grain of salt.

    Moisture does what I needed it to do
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2006*

I actually bought this moisture meter to check the moisture content in my fire wood.  For that it seems to work well.  I just wanted to make sure the the wood I was selecting to burn wasn't too wet.  No Problems there.I do expect to be buying another moisture meter for the wood that I use for furniture building as this one would be useless for that.I am pleased with it for what it does.  Just don't expect too much from it.
