Why is Humidification Important?
• Consumer need for Indoor Air Quality solutions mushroomed in
the nineties as homes were starting to be built more tightly and
people become more aware of health related issues.
• It is estimated that 1-in-6 Americans have allergies, asthma or
respiratory problems. While air cleaners and ventilation keep
indoor air clean, proper humidification is needed to help control,
minimize and eliminate unhealthy airborne pollutants.
• There are five major reasons Humidification is important:

Comfort & Energy Savings
With proper humidification, Homeowners can:
• Reduce static electricity, static cling, and dry
irritated skin.
• Protect the woodwork, furniture, and paintings from
‘drying out’ and cracking.
• Reduce energy costs because moist air feels warmer
than dry air, so Homeowners can set their thermostats
back without noticing a drop in temperature, effectively
saving money on their utility bills. In fact, lowering a
thermostat just three degrees can reduce heating bills
by 5% or more!

Humidification Climates
• Aside from coastal regions of the west and southeast, most every
region in the U.S. can benefit from indoor humidification control.
• Geographically, Southwest, Midwest, Northern and Mountainous
areas of North America can benefit greatly from humidification.

• The bypass humidifier and ductwork assembly effectively sucks air
from the supply, through the soaked clay media pad which
humidifies the air, and blows it into the return for recirculation
through the furnace and out into the living areas.

HE360 Fan-Power Operation
• For even greater capacity, the HE365 powered flow-through uses an
interior fan to humidify up to 18 gallons of water per day, humidifying a
maximum capacity of 3000 sq feet.
• The interior fan allows effective delivery of humidity regardless of system
airflow velocities. The internal fan on the HE365 acts as a booster, sucking
warm dry air from the supply plenum, through the HE365 blower fan and
out into the supply.
• Powered flow-through humidifiers do not require a bypass duct to create
airflow through the pad. The humidifier fan sucks air into the humidifier
and blows it out through the pad on its own.
• For maximum efficiency, powered flow-through humidifiers should be
mounted only to the supply plenum where the air
temperature is hottest.

HC22E, HC26E Humidifier Pads
•For use with HE365, HE265 and HE225
•Aluminum mesh layers provide durable media for humidification
• Clay coating more effectively retains water
• AgION® Anti-microbial coating inhibit bacterial growth, extending
humidifier operation and inhibiting airborne microbials.
• Universal design also fits Aprilaire® humidifiers

Patented PerfectFLO® Water Distribution
• The Honeywell water tray has a sloped, channeled surface
which leads to drain holes that are flush with the tray
bottom.
• This allows for faster, more even water distribution over
the humidifier pad, but also because there is no standing
water in the tray, the risk of mineral build-up and
maintenance is substantially reduced.
• The contractor also has the liberty to be within 5% level
without reducing water distribution evenness.
