HE420A STEAM POWER HUMIDIFIER HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS Your Honeywell humidifier uses the principle that hot water creates moist air and as the moist air circulates, the relative humidity rises. Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and activates the humidifier accordingly. When the humidity control calls for humidity, the humidifier underwater heater starts heating the water in the humidifier reservoir. When the water is warm enough, the humidifier activates a relay that turns on the furnace fan. The warm dry air from the furnace picks up the moist air and circulates it through the home. The fan continues to circulate the air until the water cools down and then turns off the fan. Humidified air feels warmer and more comfortable so you may be able to lower your thermostat heating setpoint and save money on your heating fuel bills. The end result is that your humidifier gives you a comfortable environment that is also energy efficient. MAINTAINING YOUR HUMIDIFIER A regular maintenance program prolongs the life of your humidifier and provides a more comfortable home. Frequency of cleaning depends on the condition of your water. You can use either hard or soft water in your humidifier, but hard water mineral deposits are more difficult to clean than soft water deposits.
