- 2 - With your purchase of a humidification system, you have invested in a humidifier that operates on the evaporative principle – nature’s own way of adding moisture – and will provide the proper relative humidity all during the heating season.
- 3 - Capacity is high because an average-size home (10,000 cu. ft.) requires the addition of approximately 9 gallons of water per day to maintain 35% relative humidity when the outside temperature is 20°. The smallest Aprilaire Humidifier under most operating conditions, has this humidifying capacity.

An explanation of both modes follows: Automatic Mode: (Manual Mode-see pg 6) Your Aprilaire Humidifier Control is installed in the cold air return duct.
- 5 - Your Aprilaire Automatic Humidifier, is a high precision system that will accurately maintain the relative humidity in your home. For every 1° change in outdoor temperature, the control will automatically adjust the indoor relative humidity (RH) by 1 / 2 %.
- 6 - Manual Mode : (Automatic Mode – see pg 4) Your Aprilaire Humidifier Control is installed in the cold air return. It is important to anticipate a drop in outdoor temperature and reduce the setting accordingly to avoid excessive condensation. For example, with an outdoor temperature of 20° the correct setting will be 35% relative humidity.
- 7 - Your Aprilaire Humidifier Control is a precision instrument that can be used to determine the RH accurately in your home during the winter. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Activate the furnace blower by setting your thermostat to a higher temperature.
- 8 - Your humidifier will operate effectively using either hot, cold, hard or mechanically softened water. Whether to use available tap water, even though it may be quite hard, or chemically softened water, is a common concern to homeowners when installing a humidifier.
