WHY HUMIDIFY?

Proper humidity levels reduce annoying static electricity, dried cracked furniture and wood trim, and wilting house plants. You'll feel more comfortable as scratchy dry skin, throats and noses are soothed. Properly humidified air feels warmer allowing you to turn down your thermostat a few degrees and reduce energy costs yet still feel comfortable.


GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Evaporation takes place as the heated air from the warm air furnace passes through the moisture laden evaporator pad. The pad is wetted by water metered through a solenoid valve and distributed over the pad by a distributor
trough at the top of the humidifier. Water not evaporated drains from the bottom of the humidifier carrying off troublesome minerals. Humidified air is then returned to the heating system to enter the living area.
