This flow thru by pass whole house humidification unit is low maintenance, cost effective, and is simple to operate. This unit requires good access to a return duct and drain. The humidifier mounts on supply plenum or return. By pass carries air from supp

this unit based upon what others have rated it both here and on other sites. Must say I don’t regret buying it. Does a great job and really not too difficult to install. I do have a couple of recommendations for installing: 1)Use a hand-held electric jig saw to cut holes instead of tin snips if possible. Makes cutting very fast and easy. 2)ABSOLUTELY buy the installation kit! Comes with everything you will need, including the sail switch (installs in the cold air return to detect fan blowing) and the humidistat for humidity %. Plus it has a generous water supply line w/valve and the 12v solenoid w/transformer. Also included is the round duct work w/adapter and damper.

You actually get a lot for the extra dollars. I personally didn’t have a clue how I was going to install it until I viewed the instructional DVD that was supplied with it. Really helped me know what I was going to do before I began! There are 2 ways to install the unit: 1) install with air flow from cold air to warm side or 2)air flow from warm side to cold air return. I used the latter for a couple of reasons. First I prefer warm air picking up humidity going into the cold air return and second, more importantly, if there is a water leaking or overflow it doesn’t drain into the heat chamber. Wiring is a snap and has worked perfectly since I first turned the furnace on. Very few moving parts to malfunction and well made product.
