Review on ⚡ Reliable Emerson 380 Relay Volt Coil for Efficient Electrical Control by Dexter Rasberry

I bought this as an activation relay for my whole home humidifier project. I have well water, filters and a water softener, it still leaves a ton of white residue and kills almost any type of evaporative based humidifier in 6 months. So I bought a humidifier and hooked it up to a reverse osmosis system. It worked great, except that the water pressure after the reverse osmosis system was not sufficient for the high level of atomization in this humidifier. So I hooked up a 24v auxiliary pump and wanted to use this relay to turn the pump on as soon as the oven humidifier contact supplies 24v. The pump has its own power supply and I just wanted to turn it on once the humidifier was shot in. So I put this relay in series with a humidifier, which is actually a solenoid valve, and it didn't work. No solenoid valve, no relay. It turns out that the relay consumes such a current that the voltage drops to 12V. So, with another load on the line, the contacts simply will not close. I tried connecting it in parallel to the solenoid valve, same story, only the solenoid valve worked and water flowed but the relay didn't close. Maybe I got a defective one. I got it working with this relay to activate both the solenoid valve and the booster pump, but I had to buy a temperature switch that activated when the oven was hot and closed the relay contacts. Far from ideal, as evaporative humidifiers turn on as soon as the oven fan turns on and can humidify the air even when the oven isn't heating the air. Useful if you have a wood stove and only use the central fan to circulate warm air. I would like the description to state the current drawn by this relay. I assume it still works, but there can't be any other load on the circuit. I even tried a 1.5A 24V supply (transformer with jumper) and it still wasn't enough.
