Why does my Aprilaire Humidifier make a gurgling sound?
If your Aprilaire Humidifier is making a gurgling sound, it could be due to excess condensation in the steam hose. Install a Tee and Trap Model 4028. Ensure the steam hose has a constant downward slope towards the humidifier or to tees and traps in low spots. If you're using hard pipe for the dispersion system, make sure it's insulated.
Why is the service light flashing red on my Aprilaire 800?
If your Aprilaire Humidifier's service light is flashing red before the end of the humidification season, it could mean the canister is full of mineral deposits. Remove the canister and rinse it with clean water to resolve this. Other options include plumbing the humidifier to filtered or softened water. You can also use the blower activation feature on the ADHC or run the HVAC fan constantly to allow longer cycles that concentrate minerals and increase water conductivity.
