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:

Impact of Indoor Relative Humidity on Common Biologic Indoor Air Pollutants*

*American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc 1985

• The ASHRAE standard range for optimum indoor relative humidity is between 40-60% year round, and 35% during the heating season.

• Controlling indoor relative humidity is important to health because too little humidity can create microscopic cracks in a person’s nasal membrane, leaving the body more vulnerable to infections from bacteria and viruses.

• Conversely, too much humidity creates ideal breeding conditions for mold, mildew and dust mites; from which the waste products are among the most troublesome triggers of asthma and allergies.

• Air conditioners, dehumidifiers and ventilation can keep RH levels from getting too high during non-heating seasons, but during cold weather these homes need humidification to avoid the unpleasantness of too much or too little humidification.

• And as requirements and need for ventilation systems grow, so too will the need for humidification.


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!

Comfort & Energy Savings


Humidification not normally needed

Humidification normally needed

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.


Who Needs Humidification?

• Families with children

• People who suffer from respiratory dryness, cracked throat, dry nasal cavities

• House healthy consumers

• Transplants to new climate


Benefits of Whole-House vs.. Portable

• Higher and more evenly dispersed humidity throughout home.

• Automatic water filling and emptying

TrueSTEAM™ Features & Benefits

Non-Stick Heating Element – Made of Incoloy 600 – a non-stick material that inhibits material build-up.

Fail-Safe Water Sensing – Multiple sensors sit in a separate compartment to accurately monitor water levels.

Application Flexibility – Steam can be delivered up to 20 ft away from the humidifier accessing attics, crawl spaces, tight closets, etc.

Common-Sense Interface – LEDs indicate operating status and provide feedback for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.


TrueSTEAM™ Features & Benefits

Condensate Collect Dome & Beveled Nozzle – Prevents water from entering the ductwork, only evaporated steam enters the airflow.

Clean, Professional Installation – Push terminals for easy wiring and wires routed through interior harness for a clean look.

Easy Maintenance – No tools required to access and clean tank.


TrueSTEAM™ Installation


TrueSTEAM™ Remote Mounting Options


• TrueSTEAM can be remotely mounted up to 20 feet away from the system with a remote-mount kit, making humidification possible in homes where it was once thought impossible.

Choose the size that is right for you…

• 9 Gallon Model (10 amp power)

+ Meets capacity requirement for homes 2500 sq ft

+ Step up opportunity for six gallon buyers

+ Presents opportunity to mount on existing electrical circuits where 20 Amp is code


+ Comparable to majority of steam devices on market today at 12-15 gallon output

+ Value above existing steam devices in reliability, installation, easy maintenance

+ Mounting configuration expands market by 60% over current steam applications

(not available with H8908)


+ Matches output capacity of large bypass and fan powered at 2000 sq ft

+ Reduces water consumption by 90% over bypass

+ Installs in 30% more applications than bypass/steam expanding market

+ First steam unit capable of being mounted on existing electrical circuits


HE265 and HE225 Bypass

• Evaporates up to 12 gpd (HE225) or 17 gpd (HE265).

• Covers up to 2000 sq ft (HE225) or 2800 sq ft (HE265)

• PerfectFLO™ distributes water quickly and evenly

• Right- or left-mounted configuration

• Robust solenoid valve

• UV stabilizers

• Easy-install seasonal dampers


HE225/265 Operation and Installation

• At the same time, the humidifier solenoid valve energizes to provide water through a feed tube, dispersing evenly into the PerfectFLO distribution tray. The distribution tray is sloped and channeled to provide rapid and even dispersement through the tray and into the clay media pad.

• The HE225/265 follow the principle that vapor is created when warm air blows over a water-soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative humidity rises. As the warm dry air is pushed into the supply plenum from the furnace, it results in a higher pressure in the supply versus the return.

• 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.

•The typical installation location for bypass humidifiers is on either the supply plenum or the return plenum, based on what makes most sense in the particular application. When a furnace gets a call for heat, air is warmed as it passes through the furnace and into the supply plenum heading toward the living areas of the house.


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.


Positioning Humidification to Homeowners

• Ask questions- Dry skin, eyes- Young children or a baby- Portables

• Observe home for signs

• After identifying a need:- Explain humidification benefits
