Whole House Furnace Humidifiers – Problems withAdding Moisture to a Home’s AirFor those of you who live in colder climates, you understand airquality issues including keeping adequate moisture in the air of centrallyheated homes.

But for those of us who live among theicicles and this white stuff common to ski-slopes, our health and well-beingdepend upon this hideous contraption. It’s a device that often doesnot work well and requires our attention more often than we wish. It’san invention that, for all intent and purposes, has not changed sincethe conception of forced hot air central heating in the early 1900s.I myself live in a typical Midwestern climate where temperaturescan range from 0 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit during the three coldest monthsof the heating season.

All parts are replaceable on this unit. Also,it costs less than the Truesteam as well as the Aprilair 800.I thought of modifying this thing by adding a removable sealed top with a smallshort piece of pipe and a lifting lid for the steam to come though.Then after the unit shuts down and as the displacing steam cools &condenses, air will be pulled though a fibrous gasket attached by arivet to the lid which would put it between the pipe's rim and the lid.another crazy idea.SteveS February 2016.
