This genuine replacement canister was designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. by AprilAire to optimize the performance of your AprilAire Steam Humidifier and help maintain balanced humidity in your home. Proper humidity levels help to reduce the airborne incidence of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and dust mites that can cause respiratory infections and symptoms related to allergies and asthma.

Maintain Wellness

The air we breathe matters to our health. While viruses, bacteria, mold, and other airborne particles may thrive in excessively damp or dry conditions, you can flourish in that sweet spot in between.

Lower Energy Costs

Balancing the humidity in your home can help prevent your furnace from working overtime. Dry air feels colder than properly humidified air so by increasing your relative humidity, you can make your indoor environment feel warmer without overtaxing your heating unit.

Protect Your Home

Air that's too damp can cause wood to warp. Air that's too dry can cause wood to splinter. Protect the structural integrity of your wood furnishings with solutions intuitively designed for preservation.

It will also help protect you from nosebleeds, sore throats, and dry skin. While balanced humidity exists between 40 and 60%, it's important to remember that outdoor temperature and other home factors will impact what relative humidity level is attainable and recommended for your house.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the size measurements of AprilAire Humidifiers?

Please find additional information and product specifications for the AprilAire Humidifier lineup at this link.

Is it best to use warm or cold water with my AprilAire Humidifier?

AprilAire Evaporative Humidifiers function effectively with hot, cold, hard, or soft water. Preferably, hot water is used to complement the heat generated by the HVAC system's heat call, which increases the evaporation rate. Regardless of the water type, AprilAire Humidifiers need a heat source for the evaporation process (either hot water or hot air). When any drain-through AprilAire Humidifier is linked to hot water, the heat from the water contributes to the evaporation, resulting in cool-to-the-touch water draining out. It's important to note that the AprilAire Model 800 Steam Humidifier deviates from this pattern, as it necessitates cold water—either hard or soft—since the supply water is employed to cool the water directed to the drain.

What is the recommended level of relative humidity to maintain in my home during the winter months?

While balanced humidity exists between 40 and 60% RH, it's important to remember that outdoor temperature and other home factors like age and home tightness will impact what relative humidity level is attainable and recommended for your house. Talk with your AprilAire Healthy Air Professional to learn more.
