Switch.

The simplicity and unique advantages of humidity from 
directly boiling water in disposable cylinders has been 
well known since Carnes pioneered the concept in North 
America in 1969. Pan type humidifiers require messy, time 
consuming cleaning that may require the use of acids. 
Electric heating elements in pan type units may also require 
replacement. Easily changeable steam cylinders containing 
electrodes can be replaced in less than five minutes.

20 gauge metal partition
covers line voltage wiring 
for added safety.

Disposable plastic cylinder eliminates
periodic maintenance.
