90/190/86 Drum Humidifiers

High-Capacity Drum Humidifier

Most Water-Conserving Whole-House Humidifier

A Drum Humidifier’s output is controlled by the humidistat, which monitors the home’s relative humidity and activates or deactivates the unit accordingly. Inside the humidifier, a rotating evaporator pad (or drum) lifts water from the water pan into the air stream, which is warmed and circulated by the furnace blower.

Because Skuttle Drum Humidifiers rely on forced air, they are well suited for warm-air heating systems, including gas, gas high-efficiency, electric, heat pump, geothermal, solar and oil forced air systems.

All models available with Flushing Timer.

IMPORTANT!

Maintenance

Although Skuttle Drum units require more maintenance than other humidifier types, they are designed for easy cleaning and pad replacement by either the homeowner or servicing contractor. At a minimum, the humidifier and pad need to be cleaned at the end of every humidifying season. Mineral buildup on the pad may necessitate mid-season cleaning, as well. The humidifier and the connecting water valve must be turned OFF at the end of each heating season.
