It will provide years of service if you give it a little care, UNDERSTANDING HUMIDITY Humidity can be puzzling, it cannot be seen, heard, touched, smelled or tasted.

SPLASH INSIDE HUMIDIFIER: Hole In Wall Mountin( Screws This humidifier depends on the difference of air pressure between the supply air plenum and the return air plenum to propel air through the humidifier. Some furnaces have higher pressures than others. This could result in air travelling at high speed through the humidifier. This can cause droplets of water to be picked up and splashed against the inside of the humidifier case. Eventually a coating of lime will build up.
