Desert Spring Furnace Air Humidifier System DS2800 with Drain, White

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.

I bought this, fully knowing that some work would likely be required, based on other reviews. Installation went fairly well but when I installed the foam drum, I noticed that I had been sent 2 fully enclosed ends and that the air source pipe was a good 1.5 to 2 inches from the drum. I drilled big holes in the one end and 3D printed a cover to ensure most of the air would get into the center of the drum. A week or so after getting it working, I found the bottom water tray just decided to come loose and there was a good puddle of water under the unit. I highly recommend putting a band of tape around the box closest to the return duct to help prevent this from happening. After quite a bit of the expected extra effort was put in to getting this going, it's actually doing a pretty good job of keeping the humidity level at a much more comfortable level in the house (around 40% where as before it was in the 20 to 30% range).

Great product. Easy to install and runs very efficiently.

I recently bought 2 of these, unintentionally of course, the first one was ordered online for curb side pickup, my Wife picked t up while out to save me a special trip, she wondered if I knew it was a returned item but figured I knew what I was ordering, so it turned out it was not only returned, but used, it was also missing parts and had entirely different parts when compared to the second one I got, which could be updated parts or switched parts by whomever purchased it before me. So a special trip had to be made anyways to exchange this one, I should have checked it before leaving the store because the second unit had a hole in the water tray, not wanting to make another trip to our local Canadian Tire I chose to repair the hole by melting plastic from my 3D printer filament, it is holding fine but kinda depressing that an item cost $129 needs to be repaired. PS: I was going to upload pictures showing the pan with hole in it and the repair, but their website won't allow it, issues with Firefox I guess. Par for the course, nothing at CT seems to work correctly.
