Important facts about air quality:

  • Most people spend 60% to 90% of their time indoors
  • 50% of all illnesses are caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air
  • More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies
  • One out of six people who suffer from allergies do so because of the direct relationship to fungus and bacteria in the air duct systems. (Total health and better health magazines)
  • Children and the elderly are especially affected by polluted indoor air. (Department of Consumer Affairs)

Causes of Air Pollutants in Your Home:

The dark, damp, dusty climate of your ventilation system is an ideal breeding ground for molds, fungi, bacteria, mite droppings and many other harmful allergens.

These contaminants get a free ride to every room in your house each time the system cycles on. Since the air from a contaminated duct system is being recirculated, endless dusting and vacuuming only offers temporary relief.

Symptoms:

  • Sinus congestion
  • Allergy suffering
  • Eye irritation
  • Headaches
  • Dry throat
  • Coughing

It offers all of the performance benefits of our other technologically-advanced computer-equipped automatic humidifiers and it’s easier than ever to have installed because it includes a built-in bypass damper, which means fewer parts to install. Plus, the damper is conveniently labeled for summer and winter settings, allowing you to set it for the entire season with no guesswork involved. Just set it and let your humidifier run automatically and it will deliver up to 50% more humidity, compared to other competitive units on the market. It also can be installed in manual mode if needed. The Model 600 has an evaporative capacity of 0.70 gallons per hour and is ideal for a home with up to 4,000 square feet if it’s tightly constructed.
