How does TrueSTEAM compare to other humidifiers?
TrueSTEAM takes the best features form current steam humidifiers with their efficiency, performance and decreased water consumption, and combines them with the ease of installation, reliability and value of flow-through humidifiers. Many whole-house humidifiers list their humidification capacity in gallons per day (GPD), or the amount of moisture they can deliver in a 24 hour period. Typically the GPD claim is based on a home’s heating equipment running 100 percent of the time, for 24 hours at 120F. Since most humidifiers only work when equipment is running (and no equipment runs full-time), they rarely deliver more than one gallon of moisture for every three gallons that they claim. Plus, for every one gallon of water evaporated, three gallons go down the drain. TrueSTEAM offers the most reliable and efficient levels of moisture because of its near 1:1 humidification delivery rate, regardless of equipment operation.
