1.2 Product Features
A Large Volume Output & Ultra-fine Mist Particle Size
Ultrasonic mist output up to 80 pints per day. Ultra-fine mist droplets of ≤5μ with high
gasification rate up to 80% to enhance humidification effectiveness.
B Convenient Autofill
Directly connects to water source and fills itself as needed with the built-in float
mechanism.
D Intelligent Auto-control
With built-in humidistat for precise control of humidity range from 20-80%.
E Overflow / Loss of Water Protection

-4-
The Leader of Ultrasonic Misting
Technology
In the event the float valve gets stuck open, there is an overflow drainage outlet to
protect the unit from overflowing and causing internal damage to the unit.
In the event of loss of water pressure or the float valve is stuck closed, the unit will
stop functioning to protect itself from internal overheating and damage to the ultrasonic
plate.
F Energy Saving & Ultra Quiet
Unit only uses 120 Watts while running at full output capacity. Much more quiet than
centrifuge humidifiers while producing humidity levels much faster without the mess.
G Antibacterial & Easy to clean
The ultrasonic chamber uses silver ion antibacterial technology for hygienic mist. It
is recommended to clean the unit every six months or as needed. It is very easy to open
and clean.
H Simple Installation
Easy wall-mount installation, push-fit connectors and do it yourself water line
connection valve allows for very fast and easy installation

3.1 Installation
Mount securely to wall or structure that can support at least 30lbs. The unit includes some
basic mounting hardware, but it may not be suitable to your exact needs. The unit projects
humidity up and outward, be careful to allow proper space so humidity does not collect on
ceiling or objects nearby.

3.2 Connecting the Unit
A. Overflow and Drain Connections
Connect the tubing as shown in the picture. Be sure to insert the rubber rings
(washers). Connect supplied tubing and run to the nearest drain, this U shaped piping
assembly connection is for draining the unit to clean and to provide over flow outlet in
case of float device malfunction.
B. Water Input
Thread the supplied ½ threaded to ¼ push fitting adapter to the inlet port on the side
of the unit. Be sure to use the supplied rubber washer and be careful not to over tighten
and damage the unit.
You may alter your layout / connections / fittings to customize to your needs. The
only required connection above is the water supply in and a shut off fitting on the drain
outlet. The optional filter shown in the above diagram is recommended as it will remove
excess minerals in the water. Without any pre-filter you may get calcium and other
mineral deposits built up in the unit and the surrounding area. The most common
