Consumer question submitted to Aprilaire:
How much water (gal/min or ltr/min) should unit use while working "On"? Water connected to valve and looks like I can ajust it.
Aprilaires' response:
Thank you for contacting us with regards to your model 700 Humidifier. As this unit runs, it uses 6 gal/hr, or about .1 gal/min (.378 litres/min). No adjustment to the valve is needed. There is an orifice inside the plastic feed tube that creates the proper flow rate. Neither the solenoid valve nor the saddle valve should restrict the water to a level below your normal house pressure.
