IntelliMist Humidifier

Troubleshooting Guide

1. Humidity Reading Will Not Increase

When humidity levels are in the teens it may take several
weeks to notice an increase in humidity in your home.
This is due to the fact that virtually all of the moisture has
evaporated from the wood, drywall, carpets, draperies, and
furniture.  Until this moisture is replaced, materials will
absorb moisture from the air, causing very little humidity
rise in the rooms.

2. In-line Fitler Installation

When installing the in-line water filter, it is important that 
enough water be flushed through the filter.  Up to three
gallons of water (or until the water flow is clear) should be 
run through the filter to prevent micro fine particles form 
clogging the sprayer nozzle.  

3. Humidifier Water Connections

The plastic fittings supplied with the humidifier should be 
finger tightened, plus 1/4 turn with pliers.  Over tightening
with pliers or a wrench will cause the fittings to crack and 
split, thus leaking water.  The plastic fittings are OK to use
on copper pipe.  The brass compression fittings should be 
tightened with a wrench, and then re-checked for leaks.
The brass nut should slide on the tube first, followed by the
compression sleeve, and the brass tube end inserted last.
Then the tube should be inserted into the humdifier
valve base and tightened with pliers or a wrench.
