Product Description General Description The Condair HumiLife RE bypass humidifier uses the pressure difference between the supply air from your furnace and the return air into your home. This pressure difference forces air through the humidifier thereby increasing the humidity of the air leaving the unit. This allows the humidifier to consume very little energy to improve the comfort of your home.
Functional Description The Condair HumiLife RE is a bypass humidifier that attaches to the duct of the furnace ventilation system. It may be installed on either the supply duct or on the return duct. A small opening is created in the duct where some of the furnace air is directed through the Condair HumiLife RE.
