3. Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of a TRION IAQ humidification
system. Your family can now look forward to breathing more
comfortable air, winter after winter. We are committed to
providing advanced products that improve the quality of the air
you breathe. The following information will familiarize you with
the operation of your new humidifier and provide helpful tips on
how to obtain maximum performance from your unit.
The benefits of a properly humidified environment (40-60%
Relative Humidity) are many. They include both personal comfort
as well as the preservation of furniture, draperies, carpets,
wooden floors and cabinets, paintings, pianos, etc.. Your home
will be more comfortable at a lower temperature (i.e.: 68° F)
at 40-60% Relative Humidity (RH) than at 71° to 72° F without
controlled humidity. Since every degree of temperature setback
represents about 3% of your heating costs, this can possibly
represent a significant annual savings. During the heating
season, cold air is brought into the home and heated. When
heated, this air dries out and greatly increases its capacity to
hold more moisture. By using a humidifier, a source of water
is provided to satisfy this increased moisture holding capability,
rather than having it drawn from our body surface and the
surrounding furnishings in the home. A properly maintained and
efficiently operating humidifier is a source of improved Indoor Air
Quality and personal comfort. We hope you will enjoy the
benefits of your humidifier.

*GPD = Gallons Per Day (Humidifier Capacity)
The above calculations are for reference only and are based on
the following:
• Inside temperature 70°F / 50% relative humidity
• Outside Temp 20°F / 70% relative humidity
• 8 foot ceiling height
• Internal moisture gain of one pound per hour
• Furnace on-time of 70%
This chart uses A.R.I. standard designations:
A “Tight Home” is assumed to be well insulated with vapor
barriers, tight storm windows and doors, and a dampered
fireplace; air exchange rate of 0.50 changes per hour.
An “Average Home” is insulated and has a dampered fireplace,
but there are no vapor barriers, storm doors, or storm windows;
air exchange rate of 1.0 change per hour.
A “Loose Home” is generally one constructed before 1930, has
little or no insulation, no storm doors, storm windows, weather
stripping or vapor barriers, and often no effective dampering of
fireplaces; air exchange rate is as high as 1.5 changes per hour.
3.3 Operation
Your centrifugal atomizer type humidifier operates on the principle
of breaking down water droplets into a fine mist and atomizing
the moisture into the air. If applicable, set the humidistat in the
recommended range of 40-50% relative humidity for automatic
humidity control during the heating season (a lower setting
may be used to control condensation on single pane windows).
During the first heating season, check the mineral buildup in the
humidifier every month to establish the proper cleaning
schedule. Clean the unit at the end of each heating season, or
whenever mineral deposits appear to be impeding the discharge
of the water mist.
When shutting the humidifier down for the summer months,
start with cleaning any mineral accumulation from the unit.
Leave the water turned off and the unit dry. If the furnace
fan is to be used for cooling purposes, disconnect power
to the humidifier or turn the humidistat to the OFF position.
