Humidifier and other Accessories FAQ's What are the system requirements for humidifiers? Humidifiers require a water source nearby. There must be a drain near by or in the absence of a suitable drain, a condensate pump needs to be installed. There must be an electrical outlet nearby for powered models. There needs to be adequate room on the ductwork for the humidifier to mount, or modifications may need to be made to your ductwork. If you are using air conditioning, a relay may need to be added to your furnace for proper humidifier use. Can you install humidifiers in attics or crawl spaces? Yes, as long as water lines and drains are freeze protected and the other system requirements are met. Freeze protection may be easy to accomplish or may not be so easy, depending on the circumstances. How do I care for my humidifier? The humidifier needs to be cleaned on an annual basis in most cases. The pad or evaporation media needs to be removed and flushed with hot water to remove mineral deposits left behind by the evaporated water. Presoaking in a water and vinegar solution will help to loosen deposits. If the pads are beginning to deteriorate, they should be replaced. Honeywell recommends media replacement on a yearly basis for the best anti-microbial treatment. Pads are readily available through our service department. Why does my humidity controller have different settings based on outside temperature? As it gets colder outside, the windows in the home have more opportunity to develop fogging or frosting. Resetting the humidity set point inside your house will reduce or eliminate this fogging. The suggestions on the humidity control are just that, suggestions. With some trial and error, a permanent setting can usually be found that allows comfort as well as no frosting. In most cases, if the home has more modern windows, this frosting isn't a problem. How often do I need to clean the filters in my electronic air cleaner? The pre-filters and filter cells should be washed in the sink, or better yet, run through the dishwasher every 3 months...more often if you have high dust from remodeling or shedding pets, etc. How often do I need to change the filter in my Honeywell high performance media filter? You should replace the filter media once a year or when the "Air Watch" indicator lights. How long do the Ultraviolet bulbs last in my germ killing lamps? The newer bulb designs are a considerable improvement over the old ones, which lasted about a year. The newer ones last as long as 5 years or more.
