1.3.1 Water supply

The HumiSteam must be supplied with water (not softened) having the
following characteristics:
Model UE
001-008 009-015 025-045 65
0.2 gpm 0.3 gpm 1 gpm 1.9 gpm
Instant flow rate
1/4" O.D. Compression 3/8" O.D. Compression
Connection
34 to 104° F
Temperature limits
15 to 116 psi
Pressure limits
<= 400 ppm CaCO3
Hardness limits
µS
125 to 1250 /cm (micromhos)
Conductiv ity range
The water feed line should be 1/2" copper, PVC or poly tubing run to within 3 feet of the humidifier, then bushed
down to 1/4" O.D. or 3/8" O.D. copper or poly to make the final connection to the 1/4" O.D. or 3/8" O.D.
compression fitting underneath the humidifier. With poly tubing an insert should be used to support the tubing
and prevent leaks. This insert is not provided.
NOTE: Softened w ater should NOT be used as it is generally corrossiv e to the electrode plating.

1.3.2 Water drain

The HumiSteam also requires connection to a drain. The drain water characteristics are:
Model UE

Drain rate per hour 0.7 gph 2.2 gph 3.7 gph 5.9 gph 6.6 gph 7.3 gph 11 gph 18.3 gph 25.7 gph33 gph 47.7 gph
1.3 gpm 6 gpm
Instant drain rate
1-1/2" nominal diameter
Connection
212° F
Typical temperature
The drain line can be 1-1/2" schedule 40 CPVC, 1-1/2" copper, or 1-1/2" Polypropylene. In all cases, the drain
tube is slipped over the drain outlet on the bottom of the humidifier. It is not glued or otherwise attached to the
humidifier, so it must be supported by itself.
Drain line must be installed and plumbed to an open drain immediately after the unit.
For proper operation of the unit, the open drain should be installed before the trap (if allowed by local code).
