Steam humidifiers provide the most precise humidity control. The steam humidifiers do not require hot air as with the evaporative models that wait for the furnace to run. When the humidistat detects the need for humidity, the steam humidifier is turned on. The steam humidifier has a thermal bimetallic switch that is wired to turn on the furnace blower. When the humidifier is at a steam producing temperature the bimetallic switch closes and turns on the blower.

Analysis of your water quality and treatment is a necessity to prevent premature corrosion of the heating element.

The Skuttle 60-1 and F60-1 are the same except the 60-1 does not include the automatic flushing timer and water filter. The flushing timer drains the water and allows the humidifier to refill with clean fresh water. Flushing the water clears out mineral build up. Chorine will corrode the heating element prematurely.

requirement, see our section on water filters & treatment.

The Skuttle warranty for our new steam humidifiers is one year. Our customers simply ship us the defective part. We inspect and test and confirm defective. We then ship back a brand new part.
The failure of steam humidifiers is due to water quality. Hard acrid water or water containing chorine will corrode the heating element sometimes with in months. Mineral deposits having the appearance of barnacles will build up on the heating element. Water analysis to determine treatment is a necessity.
Warranty on page 4 of installation manual (886k pdf) The warranty covers manufacturing defects.

Corrosion has been major problem with steam humidifiers. The manufacturers blame chlorine and include a charcoal filter. The charcoal filter needs to be replaced once a year to be effective in removing chlorine. Never the less we hear from customers with heating elements showing premature corrosion. Below is a Honeywell HE440 that was in service for a week.

The Skuttle and White-Rodgers steam humidifiers have been in service for decades. A few years ago they upgraded the heating element. The element is now larger and surrounds the float. The float was plastic but now it is stainless steel. We stock only the new models. Premature corrosion is NOT covered under warranty.

Filters such as reverse osmosis can leave water acrid. Acrid water can be balance by calcium treatment, a filter that slowly dissolves calcium in to the water. For steam humidifiers we recommend a expert experienced with your local water to help determine a series of filters and treatment that will balance your water.
