The world’s first completely automatic humidifier
Since 1954, millions of homeowners have trusted Aprilaire humidifiers more than any other brand. Aprilaire delivers the many benefits of proper humidification with minimal maintenance. You feel warmer in the winter. You are more comfortable, your skin feels smoother. And there is no better way to protect and preserve your home and furnishings than with an Aprilaire humidifier. Even musical instruments and plants benefit. HOW DRY ARE YOU? When you think of dryness, do you picture the arid, wind-whipped sands of the Sahara? The cracked, sun-baked earth of Death Valley? It might surprise you to know that there are places in this world that are twice as dry as those. One of the driest places on earth could be your home. And, it’s this “desert dryness” that makes you feel uncomfortable, robbing moisture from your home, your furnishings, even your skin. Relative humidity is the percentage of moisture in the air compared to its maximum capability to hold moisture under the same conditions. Seventy degree air can hold more than 12 times as much moisture as 10 degree air. Outside air at 10 degrees and 70% relative humidity when heated to a comfortable temperature in your home has a relative humidity of just 7%. Even with the addition of moisture produced by normal household activities such as cooking, laundry, and showers, you will seldom achieve comfortable indoor humidity levels without a whole house humidifier. HUMIDIFY FOR COMFORT The recommended indoor relative humidity is three to four times the humidity in an average North American home in winter. If you’re not reaching these levels in your home, you could be exposing yourself and your family to the physical aggravating of dryness. In fact, doctors often mention dry air as one of the causes for nose, throat, and skin discomfort. Unhumidified heated air also dries out the wood in your home, shrinking the wood framing around doors and windows. Gaps then occur, allowing cold air in, making your home less energy efficient. Dry air also causes wood floors and trim to separate, walls and ceilings to crack; it can harm expensive musical instruments and electronic equipment such as computers. Dryness even weakens the joints of expensive furnishings. HUMIDITY, PURE AND NATURAL Because Aprilaire humidifiers distribute moisture as a pure water vapor, there are no water droplets or mist that can carry impurities, like minerals or bacteria. In other humidifiers, minerals can build up in the unit and cause malfunction, requiring costly service. Even worse, these impurities can be distributed throughout your home. Aprilaire’s safe, flow-through evaporative design ensures that these harmful elements are either deposited on the replaceable Water Panel® evaporator or flushed down the drain. This eliminates the problems that can be caused by stagnant water in units not equipped with a drain. A NEW STANDARD
Aprilaire humidifiers have always set the
standard in humidification. And now the standard
21St CENTURY TECHNOLOGY

THE APRILAIRE ADVANTAGE
has been raised again, with the
introduction of the revolutionary Aprilaire Automatic Humidifier. Computer
equipped, it automatically adjusts to ensure the optimum level of indoor
humidification. As the world’s first completely automatic humidifier, it
features an exclusive, automated “no-touch” computer operation, which eliminates
the need for constant manual adjustments. Only an Aprilaire Automatic
Humidifier delivers up to 50% more moisture than other humidifiers for improved
comfort, well-being, preservation, and energy savings. And that’s what you buy a
humidifier for. Tests also show that the Aprilaire Automatic Humidifier is
three times more accurate and four times more reliable than other humidifiers.
adjust a
humidifier more than once or twice a day. Too much indoor moisture will cause
condensation {excess moisture} on windows. Conversely, too little moisture
results in such irritations as static “shocks” or dry skin. Therefore, a manual
humidifier is not the best solution.
