Most humidifiers are hooked up to a cold water source but in certain situations where more humidity is required or the water supply is very mineral rich , the manufacturer recommends hooking up to warm/hot water. This will automatically increase the humidification capacity of the unit and help to prevent annoying mineral buildup in the unit which is the leading cause of malfunction. The two positions are usually used in conjunction with a central air cleaning system.

The hot water that comes from the 600 ft. well is about 160? F. If the water were allowed to come to the surface, the temperature would be 135?.

Hot water will not harm your humidifier, however our lab tests show that the small performance gains are not worth the added costs for heating water.

When soft water is used instead of hard water the residue in the unit's panel can usually be cleaned by flushing it with water or using a soft brush. Hard water by its nature will leave a scale that is difficult at best to remove. Using soft water will keep scale from accumulating, and thus keep the humidifying unit functioning properly.

Risks versus benefits are critical to the decision making process before implementing any therapeutic intervention such as humidity. The clinician should be guided by clear evidence that the benefit outweighs the risk. When one considers the research, it is important to know that as a result of the infectious outbreaks in the 1950’s and 1960’s, GE Healthcare changed its methodology of providing micro-environmental humidity.

Yes, water should drain from your humidifier, because all of the Aprilaire flow-through humidifiers incorporate a self-flushing action. This action flushes down the drain many of the mineral deposits left on the water panel from the evaporation process. This helps to minimize the amount of maintenance required.

Yes, but don't worry. The "On-The-Go" Water Softener is manufactured so none of the resin can be lost. Inlets and outlets are conveniently marked for ease in installation.

Absolutely! All it takes is an inline 3/8"x3/8"x1/4" tee. Ice made with distilled water is clearer and tastes better. The beverages you put your ice cubes into will taste that much better as well.

You were smart to let me handle this.... God knows what would happen if you tried to experiment with ice cubes on your own."[read on]

Yes -- a general explanation: Hot water can in fact freeze faster than cold water for a wide range of experimental conditions..[read on] The FORUM ON BEER, HOMEBREWING, AND RELATED ISSUES says " Hot Water freezes faster, yes, it really does." But if you don't trust my resources go to the library and check out these publications(all of the resources I found online sited these articles):

No, on full speed the motor should get to about 150 to 160 degrees. It will be at 1580-1600 RPM and run about 2 amps with everything in place. You SHOULD NOT put your hands on the motor - it will be hot to the touch. The bacteria treatment is water-based, so if water might leave a stain on carpeting the bacteria treatment may leave a stain, as well. However, it is not colored, so it would be about the same as water.

Yes, it is okay to use hot water to wash your Fuzzi Bunz, even on the hottest setting. However, keep in mind that you should dry your diapers on a low setting in your dryer.

The hot water contains calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, mangnesium, silica, chloride, fluoride, lithium and other chemicals. Most "smelly" hot springs have a high sulfur content. The sulfur content of Fairmont's hot springs is very low. For a detailed water analysis, contact the Executive Office.

Specifics pertaining to availability of hot water will be included in participants' placement details.

If you have cold water and no hot water, there is water to the property and the problem is with your hot water heater. You may want to check the valve on the hot water tank or check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped. If you have no water, neither hot nor cold, our Customer Service Center can check to see if there is an outage in your area. Their number is 645-8270. Representatives are available to take your call Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
