HOW YOUR
HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Your Enviracaire Elite™ humidifier uses the
principle that vapor (evaporated water) is
created when warm air blows over a water
soaked area.As the vapor circulates, the
relative humidity rises.
Your humidity control monitors the relative
humidity and activates the humidifier accord-
ingly. The humidifier has a water supply that
dispenses water evenly over theAgION™
antimicrobial humidifier pad. The warm dry
air, from the furnace, passes over the
humidifier pad and picks up the moist air to
circulate it throughout your home.
Humidified air feels warmer and more
comfortable so you may be able to lower your
thermostat heating setpoint, which saves
money on your heating fuel bills. The end
result is that your humidifier gives you a
cleaner, more comfortable environment that is
also energy efficient.
MAINTAINING YOUR
HUMIDIFIER
A regular maintenance program prolongs the
life of your humidifier and provides a more
comfortable home. Frequency of cleaning will
depend on the condition of your water.
You can use either hard or soft water in your
humidifier, but hard water mineral deposits
are more difficult to clean than soft water
deposits. For optimum performance, Honey-
well recommends replacing theAgION™
antimicrobial pad once a year.
Use the following procedure to clean your
Honeywell humidifier.
