3. How often should I change my Vapor Pad
We recommend replacing your Vapor Pad
time, which in turn:
• Reduces the Vapor Pad's ability to absorb water.
• Prevents the warm air from flowing through the pad. Warm air moving though the water-soaked pad
causes the water in the pad to evaporate. It is this process that delivers moisture throughout your home
via the home's duct system.
4. Can I clean my Vapor Pad
A coating is applied to the Vapor Pad
Pad
to cleaning, you usually remove much of the coating and the pad becomes ineffective. This reduces the
®
output of the humidifier and increases water consumption.

5. Why would I want to install a humidifier?
For many reasons:
1. Since the air in your home is always trying to reach its saturation point, it will absorb water wherever it can;
from the bodies of you and your children, your pets, your furniture and even your house plants. As a result
your skin, throat and nasal passages dry out, leaving you more susceptible to physical discomfort, colds,
flu and even infection. Allergy and asthma sufferers can be especially affected by air that's too dry.
2. Dry air causes dry, itchy skin.
3. Dry air cracks expensive woodwork, floors, musical instruments, artwork and furnishings.
4. Annoying static electricity (caused by dry air) can damage computers, VCR's and other electronic
equipment, requiring expensive repair.
5. Dry air can cause harm to expensive musical instruments like pianos and violins.
6. Dry air causes gaps in window & door frames, letting cold outdoor air in; causing you to turn up the heat
and increasing your heating bills! Controlled humidity from the GeneralAire
luxury of dialing the thermostat back & reducing annual heating bills. For example, 68° at 40% relative
humidity feels just as warm as 74° at 20% humidity. Setting your thermostat back by as little as three
degrees can reduce annual heating bills by as much as 5%.
