General Humidifier Questions

Q.Why isn’t there enough moisture in my room?

A.How often do you run the unit? If the unit is only run at night, then during the day the moisture level will drop if moisture is not constantly added to the air.

A.Do you leave your door open or closed when the unit is running?

a.By leaving the door open, this allows moisture to leave the room and go into other areas of the house. If you would like the moisture to stay within one specific room you should consider closing the door while the unit is running.

b.Wood, leather, carpet, curtains, and other types of fa bric soak up a lot of moisture, thus not leaving enough moisture for the air. If the window is left open, then this allows moisture to escape the room. Another fac tor is a lot of times the unit is placed next to a heating device. The idea is that the air blowing into the room will quickly place moisture around the room. Unfortu nately, this concept does not work because the hot air coming out of a vent will soak up most of the moisture, and none of the air within the room will receive any.

Q.How much moisture do I need in my room?

A.Suggested humidity levels are between 40 – 60%.

Q.What are the effects of too little or too much humidity?

A.Dry air can cause dry skin, static electricity, out of tune musical instruments, increased levels of dust (dry air causes dust to rise), damage to wooden objects (dry out and eventually cracks appear), discomfort, sick- ness, and dries out nasal membranes. Over-humidifying the air can cause mold and wallpaper to peel.

Q.Why do I need a humidifier when I can just open my window?

A.The moisture level within the outside air is not high enough to humidify a room. The colder the air the less moisture it is capable to hold, and the more the air is heated up the percentage of relative humidity is lower. Relative humidity means the amount of water vapor in the air, compared to the amount the air could hold if it was totally saturated. The difference is higher between outside and inside temperatures; more humidification is needed because of the dry air in the room.

Q.Where should I place my humidifier?

A.The unit should be free-standing and not close to a wall, window, door, or thermal bridge so that air may circulate around the unit.

2055D FAQ’s

Q.If there is no water left in my water tank, for how many hours will the water in base last?

A.An exact answer cannot be given for this as there are many factors that depend on how long the water will last for. It all depends on the size of the room, if it is very dry, among other things to know how quickly wa ter will evaporate into the air. If you notice that there is no water left in the water tank, it is always a good idea to refill the tank to have extra water available.

Q.I fill the water tank, and when I place it back on the unit all of the water goes into the base. Why is that?

A.Water is needed in the base of the unit for the removal of particles from the air, and for the humidification of the air. The first time the tank is filled up and placed on the unit, all of the water will go into the base of the unit. The water tank acts as a reserve, and may be fil led up a second time to have extra water available.

Q.If my unit runs dry is that ok?

A.If there is a possibility that you will be unable to add water to the unit and it will run dry, turn the unit off before you leave. The unit will not be able to remove particles from the air if there is no water, and you may notice a foul odor. Except of the 2055 Digital that uses the automatic switch-off.

Q.Cleaning light is flashing

A.Switch off the unit and unplug it. Empty the water in the base. Rinse the base with hot/clean water. Do not submerge the main body! Visually inspect the base for dirt or mineral build up. Depending on the water hard ness decalcifying the water base approximately every 4 weeks with EZ Cal is suggested. Do not forget to reset the clean light after cleaning the unit by holding down both hygrostat buttons until cleaning indicator disappears.
