hose may use unacceptable release agents or material mixes
that can affect humidifier system performance adversely. Using
hose from alternative manufacturers increases the possibility of
tank foaming and accelerated aging. Foaming causes condensate
discharge at the dispersion assembly.

Important:
Failure to follow the recommendations in
this section can result in excessive back
pressures on the humidifier. This will result
in unacceptable humidification system
performance such as leaking gaskets, blown
water seals, erratic water level control, and
spitting condensate from the dispersion
tube(s).

Important:
Reducing the inside diameter of the
interconnecting piping will result in
the internal humidifier system pressure
exceeding the parameters for acceptable
performance.
