How Your Humidifier Works Your Skuttle Drum Humidifier uses the same principle of evaporation that you see in nature: a warm breeze passing over an expanse of water will evaporate the water and raise the relative humidity (RH), just as it does after a summer shower. Inside your humidifier, a polyurethane foam evaporator pad lifts water from the water pan into the warm air stream. The pad’s multiple holes and connecting strands significantly increase the area from which the water can evaporate.
How to Check Your Humidifier for Proper Operation For preseason startup, or to check your humidifier for proper operation (for example, after it has been serviced), follow this four-step procedure: 1. Turn on the water at the valve which leads directly to the humidifier. 2. Make sure the water level is set at 1-3/8 inches. Turn the valve adjustment screw clockwise () to lower the water level; turn it counterclockwise () to raise the water level. 3.
How to Maintain Your Humidifier At the end of each humidification season (i.e., in the spring), clean the humidifier thoroughly, and turn off the water and electrical power to the unit until the following humidification season. CAUTION: Do not leave water in the humidifier pan over the nonhumidifying months! For standard maintenance, follow these instructions: NOTE: The model number of your unit should be handwritten on the cover of this manual. MODEL 45 MODEL 90 MODEL 190 Replacement Pad No.

FAQs about IAQ (Frequently Asked Questions about Indoor Air Quality) Why do I need a humidifier? More and more homeowners are realizing that, during the winter months, they live in a “sick house”.
