IlL Effectof Water Chara er[stks
Your humidifier will operate effectively using either hard or
mechanically softened water.
Any type of water (hard, soft, hot, or cold) is acceptable for use
with the drain-type humidifiers. Hot supply water, 125°F(52°C)
maximum, is recommended for all heat pump applications. The use of
hotsupplywater will also increase the amountofhumiditygenerated
in otherapplications.The heat in the water increases evaporation and
the water going to the drain is cold to the touch. For better performance
it is recommended that soft (reduced minerals) or filtered water be
supplied to the humidifier pa& This can help reduce the amount of
scale and mineral deposits that can accumulate on the pad.
IV. Annual Maintenance
For best performance, we recommend that you replace the
humidifier pad in your humidifier at least annually with the exception
of the Water Saver humidifier which should be changed at least twice
per heating season.
To obtain a replacement: Call the installer of your humidifier°
