Your Recirculating Console Humidifier is an EVAPORATIVE TYPE
HUMIDIFIER. This means that the air being drawn through the
moistened filter naturally evaporates the water and disperses
INVISIBLE MOISTURE into the air. This type of humidifier DOES
NOT PRODUCE MIST, WATER DROPLETS, STEAM OR EXCESSIVE
CONDENSATION associated with other types of humidifiers.
EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY CAN OFTEN LEAD TO UNANTICIPATED
PROBLEMS. Air containing water droplets or mist can create a good
habitat for the growth of mold and mildew.
Misting units often oversaturate the air, while the Lasko Recirculating
Console Humidifier reaches a maximum humidity output level
without oversaturating. With a properly operating Evaporative
Humidifier, the evaporation rate increases naturally when the air
is dry. When the humidity in your home is high, moisture output
automatically decreases to help prevent damaging condensation.
The Watershow Viewing Window provides a visible way for you to
know that your Recirculating Console Humidifier is operating. As
air passes over the filter, the humidity in the room will increase, and
the water level in the Unit will begin to decrease.
