Question: How often should I clean out the water reservoir?
Answer: In typical applications, the water reservoir only needs to be emptied and wiped-out at the end of the heating season (spring). However, if you live in an area where the mineral content of the water is quite high (such as well water in a rural setting), this may have to be done more often. If you notice large amounts of sediment at the bottom of the reservoir, it is time to empty it. Note, however, that the sediment will not affect the efficiency of the humidifier, nor will the minerals enter your air stream. The amount of maintenance required depends on the Model you purchase. The Pro 600 and M 400 are the lowest and easier to maintain. The M 300 is the most basic model which will require the most periodic care.

Question: Is there anything special I should do at the end of the heating season?
Answer: The recommended procedure at the end of the heating season is to turn off the water supply to the furnace humidifier, and then empty and wipeout the water reservoir. If there are still mineral deposits on the basin, a quick rinse with a mild vinegar solution will clean them out. If you have air conditioning, you should also close the hot air supply damper. Your Thermolec Furnace Humidifier is now ready to wait out the summer, ready for the next heating season.
