While the Rotary Disc Humidifier system is the ultimate in performance and conservation, many consumers and contractors prefer flow-through systems because they eliminate any basin water and are easy to maintain with regular disposable filter replacement. However, conventional flow-through units are highly wasteful when it comes to their water consumption and energy loss.
In recent years many companies have strived to modify their popular flow-through humidifiers by adding wicks and other design tricks to reduce the amount of unnecessary water run off. However, often the intended results are poor performance and much higher maintenance.
The Desert Spring Products Pulsed Flow-Through system is a smart and patented innovation that finally addresses the problems others have sought to solve, while keeping with the true principle of flow-through humidifier design.
The secret lies in the patented electronic water flow control that reduces demand for water by up to 80% compared to ordinary flow-through humidifiers. When in operation, the water supply solenoid valve is pulsed on for approximately 2-4 seconds, sufficient time to soak the entire evaporative pad. Upon saturation, the water valve is closed for approximately 30 seconds to allow the dispersed water to evaporate without the waste of excess water flowing into the pad and down the drain.
The electronic water flow control limits the amount of waste water which also reduces energy loss from furnace heat which is no longer transferred to the excess flow-through water normally lost down the drain.
