HUMIDIFIER OVERVIEW

Deionized water models
(HUMIDI-TECH DI)

The HUMIDI-TECH DI, shown here,
is specifically designed for use with
deionized or reverse osmosis water.

Standard water models
(HUMIDI-TECH)

The standard water HUMIDI-TECH unit
requires water conductivity of at least
100 µS/cm to operate. It will not
operate with water treated
by reverse osmosis or
deionization processes
(see DI water model below).
