The humidifier pad, designed especially for uniform, high
evaporation, and the Scale Control Insert also efficiently trap mineral
deposits which are often the cause of damage to working parts in
ordinary humidifiers. No “white dust” can be distributed throughout the
living quarters. The humidifier pad must be in good condition to assure
high capacity trouble‑free performance. It should be changed annually
with the exception of the Water Saver humidifier which should be
replaced at least twice per heating season.
Older design water distribution trays have a granular coating in the
bottom of the distribution tray to provide equal distribution of water to
each of the openings assuring an even flow over the humidifier pad.
Do not clean the mineral scale off the bottom of the water distribution
tray at the end of the humidification season. If the granular coating is
removed, it is not necessary to purchase a new distribution tray. You
can accomplish the same uniform performance by applying a small
amount of liquid dishwashing soap over the entire inside surface of the
water distribution tray. This will allow the water to flow evenly through
each of the openings, provided the humidifier is level, in order to achieve
maximum capacity.
The current distribution tray which incorporates a synthetic fabric
liner that replaces the granular coating, is designed to deliver water
uniformly over the entire top surface of the humidifier pad, provided it
is mounted level. It is normal for some mineral deposits to form in the
distribution tray as it dries out between humidification cycles. These
deposits can actually help distribute water in the tray, but if they form
enough to block the openings, they should be removed as described in
the “Periodic Preventative Maintenance” section of this manual.
I. Principle of Operation
You have purchased a humidifier that operates on the evaporative
principle. It will provide the proper relative humidity (see operating
instructions) all during the heating season. It is very possible that you
have questions concerning what your humidifier can do for you, and
what you should do to receive maximum benefits from it. This booklet is
intended to answer these questions.
The humidifier operates in conjunction with the furnace blower
motor. When the humidifier control calls for humidity and the blower
motor is operating, water flows to the distribution tray located at the top
of the humidifier. The water is uniformly distributed across the width of
the tray and through a scientifically designed system of outlets. It flows
by gravity over the humidifier pad. Dry, hot air is moved through the
moisture‑laden humidifier pad where evaporation takes place. The now‑
humidified air carries moisture in vapor form throughout the home.
The correct water flow is determined by an orifice in each
humidifier. When the humidifier is operating, there will be a small,
steady stream of water to drain, which flushes away most of the
trouble-causing minerals. Do not use the saddle valve to regulate the
water flow. It is designed to be completely opened or closed.
The minerals and solid residue not trapped by the replaceable
humidifier pad are flushed down the drain. The drain also eliminates the
problems caused by stagnant water. This is the most effective and least
expensive method to dispose of trouble‑causing minerals.
Trouble‑free performance and minimum maintenance are assured
by the design features of the humidifier. All humidifier housing parts
that come in contact with water are non‑metal (except for the valve and
humidifier pad) and will never rust or corrode. Neither heat nor water
will affect them under normal operating conditions.
