Electr
ode Steam
The Electrode Steam is available in two sizes, each with a different humidifying capacity:
The Electrode Steam produces 11 gallons per day (GPD) when run on 120 V and 22 GPD when run on
240 V. It is generally suitable for homes 8,000 to 32,000 cubic feet in size.
Which Electrode Steam model do I have?
The proper model for your home depends on many factors.
Size of the area to be humidified, ceiling height, window
and insulation type, as well as your geographic area, all
affect how much humidity your
home needs.
Some activities in your home may create heavier loads for
the Electrode Steam. Vented fireplaces, high exhaust from
fans, or driers can reduce humidity in your home and make
the Electrode Steam work harder.
Your Professional Installer or salesperson will have
considered these and other factors when choosing the best
Electrode Steam model for your unique situation.
Sizing
IMPORTANT: The Electrode Steam should only be installed if it has been sized properly. Do not use square feet
when sizing a humidifier installation. Instead, cubic feet must be used, since the humidity is filling a volume of
space (width x length x height). Also, take into consideration the “tightness” of a home’s construction.
