en 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 fabric 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 factor 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 quic kly place moisture around the room. Unfortunately, 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.

A.Suggested humidity levels are between 40 – 60%.
Q.What are the effects of too little or too much humidity?

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.
Q.Where should I place my humidifier?
A.The unit should be

Q.What is the purpose of the demineralization cartridge (DMC)?
