5.12 Using the Tap Water System
1. Attach the water de-ionizing column to a faucet.
The faucet should go to the side marked “IN”.
2. Turn on the water.
Find the proper flow rate before attaching to the humidifier.
The water flow rate through the purifier should not exceed 8 oz. every 25-
30 seconds. Water will pass at up to 10 gallons per hour.
NOTE
Do not increase the flow rate! The amount of purification that can be
performed on the water is in direct proportion to how long it takes the
water to flow through the column.
Slow flow rate = highly purified water.
Fast flow rate = poorly purified water.
3. Turn on the water.
Set the flow rate to the pre-determined amount.
DO NOT OPERATE THE
HUMIDIFIER WITH THE FAUCET 100% OPEN.
High flow rates will
cause the humidifier to overfill and possibly damage the unit. The
humidifier consumes very little water; a low flow rate will be sufficient to
keep the unit full.
4. Turn on the humidifier POWER switch.
(If using with an ETS Automatic Humidity Controller, see “Humidifying” in
the Controller manual.) The power indicator light will turn on immediately
and the internal air pump will begin operating. When the basin is full, the
automatic water level switch will activate the ultrasonic transducer. When
that happens, the unit will begin producing a fine mist.
