Desert Spring Autoflush (DS-AF15)
The Desert Spring Autoflush is a product that removes minerals from the Desert Spring Furnace Humidifier at a regular interval, ranging from every hour to once a week. It flushes the basin with fresh water, removing residue. Although it minimizes maintenance, it's recommended to clean the unit annually at the end of the humidification season.
Eliminates Mineral Build-up
The Desert Spring Autoflush effectively removes mineral build-up in humidifier basins by flushing at a user-set interval, reducing maintenance for hard water users. However, annual cleaning is recommended for any remaining mineral build-up.
Eliminates Stagnant Water The Desert Spring Autoflush, with its unique flushing system, prevents standing water in humidifier basins for over 48 hours, significantly reducing bacteria growth risk, thus enhancing the air quality in your home.
Water Efficient
Three North American flow through furnace humidifiers annually waste 5,000-8,000 gallons of water, with Desert Spring's autoflush reducing water usage to minimal, with actual water usage depending on the setting.
