Help with Totaline humidifier

last year

This was part of the HVAC when we moved in. I don’t have any paperwork etc. but have done some googling. Is anyone familiar with these? I’ve been changing the filter but I honestly don’t know if it’s doing anything?

The equipment in question is a bypass humidifier. It's used to increase the relative humidity of indoor air in the winter. During other seasons, it should be isolated with the bypass damper closed (it looks like it is) and the valve on the water line supplying water to the humidifier closed, too.

The first thing you should do is buy a humidity and temperature gauge. That will tell you if the humidifier is doing anything. In the winter most people are comfortable with the humidity 40-45% at 70-72 degrees. This type of humidifier can only add humidity when the furnace is operating. If the house is very dry and the furnace runs in short cycles, then the humidifier probably can't supply enough moisture to raise the humidity above 40%. Youi will have to monitor this during the heating season.

Honeywell humidifier - newbie needs help

Hi - we have a 10-year-old Honeywell HE220 humidifier attached to our furnace. My husband (of 4 years) has never turned it on (didn't know it existed), but I did 2 years ago. I didn't know it has a filter - so I just ordered some and will change it. This is so elementary - but which way do I turn the water valve to open it (it comes from same source as hot water heater)? And I can hear the damper in the vent (leaving the humidifier) opening and closing, but I'm not sure which is which. Can anyone tell me how to make sure it is open when I turn the humidifier on? My knowledge of these things is woefully small, but I have just joined Gardenweb and am trying to learn. Thanks, everyone.

Tannie, I forget where you live, Canada?? At this time of year, I wouldn't worry about humidity. I would think in a few weeks the days will be warmer and you can start opening windows or even putting a few plants out in the afternoon. When I grew in NY, I could not keep the humidity above 13% in winter. Large room, high ceilings, furnace blasting. I used warm mist vaporizers, the cheapest I could find. The orchids most affected by humidity got moved into a small room with the vaporizers and I set up lights to keep them growing. All my other plants stayed in the big room, dry as a desert! They were all fine. I have found the humidity concern to not be a concern. Of course there are certain plants which have to have it, but most do fine for the few months it isn't there. Jane

John, thanks for the heads up and the advice. I will remember this. I love the unit from the looks of it. If I didn't already have one I would buy that one in a heart beat. I do use distilled water which can cost a lot if I have the setting on high. A dollar a gallon and go through a gallon of water almost every day. So if I turn to tap water, this will help.
