Système humidificateur de fournaise Desert Spring DS2800 avec drain, blanc

The price is definitely attractive, and it is Canadian made. Be prepared for quite a bit of assembly, which is not indicated on the box. The directions are good, and detailed. Interestingly, a Generalaire decal was found at the bottom of the box. My previous humidifier was a General model 81, which was quite servicable, and did the job for 24 years. The Desert Springs fits in the same duct cutouts in my furnace intake and hot, so that's a plus. Note that installation is reversible, so you can also fit it on the furnace as you need to, right or left air intake/exit. Everything for the complete installation is in the box, and coded according to instruction steps.

Didn’t made any difference at all

Water float valve fitting should be designed to fit the hole when passing the hole of the housing. In other word, the threads on the brass fitting should be cut off and make into flat surface on both sides.

This unit seems to be working really well. The great thing about it is the overflow pan and drainage to prevent potential flooding. Our last humidifier overflowed and caused a lot of damage to our basement floor.

With a mix of reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect. In my case, I was satisfied with the unit itself. It has done a great job to elevate the humidity in my house and we have been able to level it off to maintain a reasonable 30-35% RH. I have a bigger home (3,000SF) with a lot of exposed wood surfaces that had been starting to creak and squeak with a long run of frigid temperatures. The humidity was down around 20% when I decided I needed to do something. The installation instructions are daunting to say the least. If you have a little know-how, it won't be a challenge, but I needed a few extra pieces that I recommend (1/8" shrink tube for the thermostat-to-motor connections is ideal, and aluminized ducting tape is a must for the round-duct connections). It would also be nice if the instructions provided a complete sketch of the finished product so you could work towards something. There are a lot of words that can cause confusion (especially since this is reversible to suit different installation requirements). The humidistat is not accurate (but that's to be expected). I have a couple smart-home devices that I use to check the humidity in the home, and then adjust the humidistat settings to suit. So far, no issues with overflowing or wasted water, and I don't see how it could, as long as you maintain the float valve and ensure the unit is level when installed.
