Why do some manufacturers offer an automatic and a manual control?
Some manufacturers feel it is important to offer a control option for all applications. The automatic humidifier control is the top of the line when is comes to technology. The automatic humidifier control takes a reading of the outdoor temperature and adjusts the humidity level in the home based on the outdoor temperature. This is achieved by placing a sensor outside that reads the outdoor temperature over 86,000 times per day. However, it should be realized that that there are some applications where it is impractical or impossible to run an outdoor temperature sensor to the outside. That is why some provide a high quality manual control for such applications. Having these two options gives total flexibility to meet every customer’s humidification needs.
