TrueSTEAM Humidifer
TrueSTEAM Humidifier is a new innovative product that is geared towards high-efficiency, variable speed, dual-fuel and heat pump systems. Because of how these systems operate, yesterday's humidifiers often fail to deliver the humidification that your home desire. This is a humidification system that operates independently of equipment.
TrueSTEAM Key Features
- Moisture on Demand - TrueSTEAM works by producing its own steam independent of equipment operation, so your home gets moisture when you need it most.
- Eco-Friendly - TrueSTEAM is the most eco-friendly way to humidify your home, because it uses up to 70 percent less water while delivering more moisture than traditional whole-house humidifiers
- "True Steam" - While other humidifiers rely on moisture-filled pads that can be susceptible to bacteria growth in the water and the airstream, TrueSTEAM delivers "true steam" - the cleanest form of humidification
- Reduced Heating Bills - In addition to keeping your home and family comfortable, TrueSTEAM can help reduce heating bills. Because humidified air feels warmer, you'll be able to turn your thermostat down for energy savings
- Out of Sight, Out of Mind - TrueSTEAM is installed out-of-sight by your heating and cooling professional into your home's central heating and cooling system. You can forget about having to fill clunky, portable units, because TrueSTEAM automatically fills itself
- Minimal Maintenance - Simply clean once a year with soap and water and the rest of the time it cleans itself automatically.
TrueSTEAM takes its features from current steam humidifiers with their efficiency, performance and decreased water consumption, and combines it with the ease of installation, reliability and value of flow-through humidifiers. TrueSTEAM is different from others because it operates independent of equipment operation. And with its 1:1 humidification delivery rate, TrueSTEAM delivers the right amount of humidification.
The Truth about Humidification Delivery
Many whole-house humidifier manufacturers list humidification capacity in gallons per day (GPD), or the amount of moisture they can deliver in 24 hour period. But how do you know which ones really work and if a home is getting enough moisture?
Comparing humidification delivery is a great place to start.
Typically, the GPD claim is based on a home's heating equipment running 100 percent of the time, for 24 hours a day at 120F. Since most humidifiers only work when equipment is funning (and no equipment runs full-time), they rarely deliver more than 1 gallon of moisture for every three gallons that they claim. Plus, for every one gallon of water that is evaporated, three gallons go down the drain.
TrueSTEAM offers the most reliable, efficient levels of moisture because of its near 1:1 humidification delivery rate, regardless of equipment operation.
