Why is maintaining ideal
humidity important?
Optimum relative humidity
(RH) is defined by industry experts* as
between 40 and 60 percent RH on an average
annual basis, and 35 percent during the
heating season in dry climates. An
environment with too little humidity leave
the body vulnerable to viruses and bacteria,
and can cause woodwork in the house to
shrink or crack. On the other hand, too much
humidity creates ideal conditions for mold
and mildew growth.
How does TrueSTEAM™ compare
to other humidifiers?
TrueSTEAM™ takes the best
features from current steam humidifiers with
their efficiency, performance and decreased
water consumption, and combines them with
the ease of installation, reliability and
value of flow-through humidifiers. Many
whole-house humidifiers list their
humidification capacity in gallons per day (GPD),
or the amount of moisture they can deliver
in a 24 hour period. Typically the GPD claim
is based on a home’s heating equipment
running 100 percent of the time, for 24
hours at 120˚F. Since most humidifiers only
work when equipment is running (and no
equipment runs full-time), they rarely
deliver more than one gallon of moisture for
every three gallons that they claim. Plus,
for every one gallon of water evaporated,
three gallons go down the drain. TrueSTEAM
offers the most reliable and efficient
levels of moisture because of its near 1:1
humidification delivery rate, regardless of
equipment operation. |
