GETTING TO KNOW
YOUR COOL MOISTURE
EVAPORATIVE HUMIDIFIER
Invisible moisture
• Evaporative humidification
means you will
NOT see
the moisture output.
• With evaporative humidification, a fan pulls
dry air from the room through the saturated
wicking filter. Moisture from the wicking filter
evaporates and is pushed into the room with
the help of the fan.
• Evaporative humidification adjusts moisture
output to the amount of moisture the air can
hold. The drier (less humid) the air in the room, the more moisture the humidifier will add to the
air. An evaporative humidifier cannot add more moisture to the room than the air can hold. The
amount of moisture the air can hold depends on many factors including relative humidity level,
temperature and size of room.
