HE120 BY-PASS DRUM HUMIDIFIER WELCOME... to the comfortable world of humidified air. With your Honeywell humidifier you will notice a decrease in dry skin. You’ve also taken the first step to stopping the “zapping” created by walking on your carpet and touching your TV, computer, metal door knob or your pet. You can even put away your glue bottle because your furniture and woodwork will stop drying out. Congratulations! You have just made a great investment in your home comfort.
HE120 BY-PASS DRUM HUMIDIFIER HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS Your Honeywell humidifier uses the principle that vapor (evaporated water) is created when warm air blows over a water soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative humidity rises. Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and activates the humidifier accordingly. The humidifier has a water supply that disburses water evenly over a humidifier pad.
