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. |
