Supply water and drain piping
Supply water quality
XT Series humidifiers use normal tap water or softened water to
generate humidification steam. Water conductivity must be within
the range of 125 to 1250 μS/cm (which, in many cases, is roughly
equivalent to 3.4 to 36.3 grains/gallon). Demineralized water cannot
be used because it is not conductive. Do not use heated supply water
because unheated supply water is required for drain water tempering.
WARNING!
Drain piping surface may be hot. Touching
or contact with hot pipe may cause severe
personal injury.
