To increase the humidity produced by your humidifier, you will need to adjust its humidistat settings. The method for doing this depends on whether your humidifier features a manual or an automatic humidistat.
Adjusting Your Humidifier's Humidity Output
Understanding your humidifier's control type is key to effectively increasing its humidity output.
For Humidifiers with a Manual Humidistat
If your humidifier is equipped with a manual humidistat, increasing the humidity is a simple adjustment. You'll typically find a dial or knob that controls the humidity level.
- To achieve more humidity from your humidifier, turn the dial towards the higher number. This instructs the unit to produce more moisture until the desired higher level is reached or maintained.
For Humidifiers with an Automatic Humidistat
Humidifiers featuring an automatic humidistat, often designed to work with an outdoor sensor, provide a more automated approach to maintaining indoor humidity levels.
- With an outdoor sensor installed, all you have to do is select the desired percentage (%) humidity level on the control panel.
- For increased humidity, you will need to set the system to a higher desired number. The humidifier will then work to maintain this specific humidity level automatically, adjusting its operation as needed.
