Review on 🏡 Aprilaire 400M Whole Home Humidifier, Manual Water-Saving Furnace Humidifier, High-Capacity Whole House Humidifier for Homes up to 4,000 Sq. Ft., in White by Tiffy Andreani

I used to have another manual model (500m) that drained constantly. Although it was designed for a house of 3000 square meters. foot, it could never keep the humidity level in our 1600 square feet. ft. feet at home with a preferred relative humidity of 45%. Instead, the maximum can reach 38%. Additionally, it drained into the furnace's condensate pump, adding to energy costs and swamping wear and tear from constantly wasting water. and does not drip can be the ideal solution. One less bug and it could cover most of the house, right? Well, as I understand it, I was very wrong. I ended up enlarging the hole a little more than the 300m I was expecting. The bypass was still perfect. However, I have noticed that the humidity level in the house is now around 27% compared to 38% on the previous model. After removing the lid, I noticed that there was water in the pan, but the panel filter itself wasn't picking up water. At first I thought there might be something wrong with the magnet, but I bypassed the wiring and the magnet worked as expected. I ended up trying to bypass the wiring to ignore the switch but that now makes it a bigger 300m again with a water drainage issue. Also, the water overflowed during the night - obviously the overflow is less than 300m away, so you have to be careful to take your triple valve and turn it all the way. I also strongly recommend NOT using the poppet valves that come with them as they leak constantly. Most installers and installers will tell you this. So I got tired of looking for a way to fix this and contacted Aprilaire. The representative told me that this unit should not start when the fan is on, only when a heat request is initiated. Also, the fan shouldn't be running, which I find problematic as I use it to clean the air throughout the house and balance rooms. Second, he recommended him hot water if possible, which I had already put on the recirculation line. Third, he mentioned that the bottom third of the filter should always stay wet, but that doesn't happen. After all this I am lost for the device. I cannot return this item as I will have a gaping hole in my back canal. I can't go back to the previous block because it was smaller. Calling the HVAC contractor only gets me a bill because it's installed correctly. The main problem is that water panels simply cannot hold water effectively, they say. Also sqm. They claim the footage indicates you have a new, airtight home, which most people don't. more through the wick. I didn't cover the entire panel as we still need air to flow through it. My humidity has risen again. My only concern is that the humidity might be too high. At this point I could probably turn off the humidification settings on my Ecobee 3 or cut into smaller strips if needed. I plan on replacing or washing these strips often, although I suspect they will absorb some of the honeycomb's antibacterial properties. If I had to give a recommendation to a company, they would have to find the best material for these panels.
