Heart of the unit
The heart of Humidity Source humidifier units is the patented
masterfully engineered Centrifugal Atomizer. Water is drawn by
centrifugal force up through the rotating impeller cap and pump tube,
then spun across the disk rotating at 3250 RPM striking the VaporMaker Comb creating an extremely fine vapor. An integral fan under
the rotating disk blows the vapor out of the unit resulting in a fine
atomized vapor that is quickly absorbed into the air.

HUMIDITY SOURCE ATOMIZING
humidifiers produce moisture that will quickly
be absorbed in the air. However, it is very important that the humidifier be installed so
that there is no chance of the moisture striking any object before it has been absorbed
by the air. If any solid is hit with air containing suspended or unabsorbed moisture,
condensation and dripping will result. It is therefore most important that all directions and
minimum dimensions be strictly adhered to.

MODEL SW-2
Your humidifier has been designed and engineered to
give, with proper care, many years of trouble free
service. Therefore, if this unit ceases to operate
properly, we suggest you contact your local dealer. If
we, at Humidity Source, can be of any assistance to
you, please feel free to write, call or e-mail.
IMPORTANT
This space type humidifier is designed so that it may
be shelf mounted. The shelf should be at least 18”
(45.7cm) below the ceiling and 6 feet (1.8m) above
floor. The directional vapor dome should be positioned
to diffuse moisture without striking any obstructions
closer than six feet and maintain 24” minimum between
each side of the humidifier and any wall or obstruction.
PROCEDURE
Run a water supply line using 1/4” o.d. copper or
plastic tubing or 1/8” pipe. Keep the line to the rear of
the unit to avoid creating an obstruction.
Flush water feed lines before making final connection
to avoid having cutting oil, pipe scale, or chips which
may clog the float valve.
Turn on water valve and adjust water level to 1/2”
below the overflow connection by adjusting the thumb
screw as shown in Figure 1.
Adjustment is easily made using the adjusting thumb
screw for higher or lower water level as illustrated.
SERVICE & REPAIR
Should this humidifier need service or repair some time
in the future, return only atomizing unit direct to the
factory.
CARE OF THE MACHINE
Due to air washing while the humidifier is in operation,
a deposit of dirt and dust may settle in the bottom of
the water reservoir and screen, and it is recommended
that both be cleaned regularly.

OPERATION
Positive capacity atomizing humidifiers produce a mist that
will quickly evaporate into the air if there is no impingement
of water particles against barrier surfaces before the water
particles against barrier surfaces before the water is
completely absorbed. Strict attention to minimum clearance
dimensions must be adhered to in order to avoid
condensation.
MAINTENANCE
Unplug electric cord & remove dome. Carefully lift atomizing
unit out of reservoir (Figure 2). Hold atomizing unit firmly
and remove the perforated screen (2-A) by turning it slightly
to the left until the four lugs are in line with the slots. To
remove the impeller cap (2-B), hold a flat file or the back of a
table knife flat against the side of the tube and gently tap the
cap which is held in place by a pressed fit. After the cap has
been removed, the inside of the tube is visible and it is
simple matter to clean it with a piece of cloth on the end of a
screwdriver or a small round brush.
There are three ports through which water makes its way
from the pump tube to the top of the rotating disc (2-C).
These ports should be cleaned out with the aid of a wire.
See drawing on this page.
Replace the impeller cap by tapping it evenly back into
place, using plastic handle on screwdriver.
Remove water from reservoir & rinse. Fill reservoir with
white vinegar or other mild acid solution. Replace dome &
atomizer on reservoir & block outlet of dome with plastic
wrap & a rubber band. Run atomizer for ½ hour or until
minerals are completely dissolved. If necessary, rinse with
diluted chlorine bleach solution. Rinse with clean water and
return to service. For hard water problems, see
“demineralized water” below.
Inspect float valve assemble periodically, & replace when
necessary, or every few years. Should this humidifier need
service or repair some time in the future, return only
atomizing unit direct to the factory.
DEMINERALIZED WATER
If your local water supply has a high mineral content, (call
water company & ask for “total dissolved solids” or T.D.S.)
This mineral will create tiny particles of airborne “white dust”
when the mist evaporates in the air. To eliminate this dust,
use an ion exchange or a reverse osmosis demineralizer.
See Humidity Source data sheets for Reverse Osmosis
demineralizing filters.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL SF-5 and SW-5
GENERAL INFORMATION
This space type humidifier is designed to be
suspended from the ceiling or mounted on a shelf.
Hanging brackets are provided but supports from the
ceiling or shelf must be furnished by others.
The humidifier consists of two assemblies; the water
reservoir which includes a float type water level valve
with 1/8” male pipe thread connection and a safety
overflow port and the atomizer assembly which is a
delicately balanced, completely self-contained unit
that rests in the water reservoir and supports the
directional vapor distribution dome.
PROCEDURE
When selecting exact location for each humidifier be
sure that the vapor discharge is approximately six feet
from the any obstruction such as lights, pipes or
beams. Vapor must also avoid touching humidifier
wiring and supports. The following procedure is
recommended.
1. Obtain the correct type of vapor distribution
dome for each humidifier location.
2. At each location place the correct dome in the
reservoir and install one hanging bracket
above the water inlet valve, above the position
of the water valve on the side of the tank. Then
rotate and position the dome so that its vapor
ports will avoid this bracket.
3. Place the other hanging brackets in a position
which will give level, secure suspension and at
the same time will avoid striking the hangers
which are to be attached to these brackets.
4. After positioning the reservoir to avoid vapor
touching any existing obstructions, locate
points on the ceiling directly above the
brackets and connect suspension straps or
rods at these points. See Figure “B” for further
details.
NOTE: ALL MINIMUM INSTALLATIONS
DIMENSIONS AS SHOWN IN FIGURE “A” MUST
BE FOLLOWED.
PLUMBING
Insert the float valve assembly as illustrated in
Figure “C”. Run a water supply line near the
ceiling and drop a 1/4" tubing line ( or 1/8” pipe)
from the supply line. Keep the drop very close to
one of the hangers to avoid creating an
obstruction.
Flush all water feed lines before making final
connections to avoid clogging the float valve with
foreign matter.
Adjust the position of float valve stem to establish a
water level in the reservoir about 1/2” below the
overflow fitting. See Figure “C” for location of
adjusting screw.
Be sure that the water valve arm is directed toward
the center of the reservoir when tightening the
mounting nut.
FOR MODELS WITH FILTER
Place the filter in the reservoir with wide flange on
top, and the notch directly above marker near
water inlet position. Place atomizer assembly into
this flange positioned so that the motor extension
cord matches the notch in the flange. This avoids
the possibility of atomizer legs interfering with the
operation of the water regulating valve.
Place vapor dome over the atomizer assembly and
run electric cord along one hanger to a female
receptacle. Wiring to the receptacle should be
through a humidistat control that will operate the
humidifier. Refer to Figure “E” for wiring diagram.
Due to a certain amount of “air-washing” when the
humidifier is operating, an accumulation of dust
and dirt may settle at the bottom of the reservoir. It
is therefore recommended that periodic inspection
and cleaning be performed as necessary. Also the
water drain plug or valve should be opened
frequently and the water line flushed out. This
periodic maintenance can greatly extend the life of
the humidifier.
IMPORTANT:
IT IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THE RESERVOIR
AND ATOMIZER UNIT CLEAN IN ORDER TO
MAINTAIN FULL HUMIDIFIER CAPACITY AND
NOT OVERLOAD THE MOTOR.
MAINTENANCE
As stated above, the water reservoir and pump
tube must be kept clean and free of minerals, scale
and dust. Periodically remove atomizer assembly
and clean reservoir with white vinegar. Carefully
remove impeller cap (see Figure “D”) and clean
pump tube with pipe cleaner or test tube brush.
Motors have sealed bearings and do not require
lubrication.

SERVICE
Atomizer motors are sealed in a copper housing at
the top of the atomizer assembly. DO NOT BREAK THIS SEAL. If for any reason a repair
becomes necessary, carefully package the entire
atomizer assembly and return intact to your
installer, local distributor or Humidity Source, LLC.
When ordering parts have model number and
voltage available.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This space type humidifier is designed to be
suspended from the ceiling or mounted on a shelf.
Hanging brackets are provided but supports from the
ceiling or shelf must be furnished by others.
The humidifier consists of two assemblies; the water
reservoir which includes a float type water level valve
with 1/8” male pipe thread connection and a safety
overflow port and the atomizer assembly which is a
delicately balanced, completely self-contained unit that
rests in the water reservoir and supports the directional
vapor distribution dome.
PROCEDURE
When selecting exact location for each humidifier be
sure that the vapor discharge is approximately six feet
from the any obstruction such as lights, pipes or
beams. Vapor must also avoid touching humidifier
wiring and supports. The following procedure is
recommended.
1. Obtain the correct type of vapor distribution
dome for each humidifier location.
2. At each location place the correct dome in the
reservoir and install one hanging bracket above
the water inlet valve, above the position of the
water valve on the side of the tank. Then rotate
and position the dome so that its vapor ports
will avoid this bracket.
3. Place the other hanging brackets in a position
which will give level, secure suspension and at
the same time will avoid striking the hangers
which are to be attached to these brackets.
4. After positioning the reservoir to avoid vapor
touching any existing obstructions, locate points
on the ceiling directly above the brackets and
connect suspension straps or rods at these
points. See Figure “B” for further details.
NOTE: ALL MINIMUM INSTALLATIONS
DIMENSIONS AS SHOWN IN FIGURE “B” MUST
BE FOLLOWED.
PLUMBING
Insert the float valve assembly as illustrated in
Figure “C”. Run a water supply line near the ceiling
and drop a 1/4" tubing line ( or 1/8” pipe) from the
supply line. Keep the drop very close to one of the
hangers to avoid creating an obstruction.
Flush all water feed lines before making final
connections to avoid clogging the float valve with
foreign matter.
Adjust the position of float valve stem to establish a
water level in the reservoir about 1/2” below the
overflow fitting. See Figure “C” for location of
adjusting screw.
Be sure that the water valve arm is directed toward
the center of the reservoir when tightening the
mounting nut.
FOR MODELS WITH FILTER
Place the filter in the reservoir with wide flange on
top, and the notch directly above marker near water
inlet position. Place atomizer assembly into this
flange positioned so that the motor extension cord
matches the notch in the flange. This avoids the
possibility of atomizer legs interfering with the
operation of the water regulating valve.
Place vapor dome over the atomizer assembly and
run electric cord along one hanger to a female
receptacle. Wiring to the receptacle should be
through a humidistat control that will operate the
humidifier. Refer to Figure “E” for wiring diagram.
Due to a certain amount of “air-washing” when the
humidifier is operating, an accumulation of dust and
dirt may settle at the bottom of the reservoir. It is
therefore recommended that periodic inspection
and cleaning be performed as necessary. . Also the

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL WF-225
Your humidifier has been designed and engineered to
give, with proper care, many years of trouble free
service. Therefore, if this unit ceases to operate
properly, we suggest you contact your local dealer. If
we, at Humidity Source, can be of any assistance to
you, please feel free to write, call or e-mail.
APPLICATION
The WF-225 is designed for forced air systems only
mounted on the return air duct. The unit must be wired
to function only when the furnace fan is in operation. A
typical return air duct installation is shown in Figure C.
All dimensions and mounting positions are considered
minimum to prevent wetting of internal duct surfaces.
The WF-225 output is sufficient for forced air furnaces
up to 125,000 BTU output.
INSTALLING
Water Supply. Run a water supply line from an
existing cold water pipe using 1/4” o.d. copper or
plastic tubing or 1/8” pipe (see Figure A). A saddle
valve and compression fittings are a convenient way to
run the supply water line to the humidifier. Flush water
feed lines before making final connection to avoid
foreign objects which may clog the float valve.
Mounting. The WF-225 comes with a duct mounting
plate to support the unit. Place the mounting plate at a
point where the humidifier is to be installed. Scribe a
hole for discharge tube and mounting screw locations.
Cut out the hole for vapor discharge tube. Drill (2) 9/32”
holes to accommodate top of mounting plate for 1/4”20 bolts. The rest drill with #30 drill for #10 sheet metal
screws. Install mounting plate on duct.
Insert (3) rubber feet in bottom of mounting plate using
nuts to secure. Tighten front nuts only.
Set reservoir in place and connect water line. Turn on
water valve and adjust water level to 1/2” below the
overflow connection by adjusting the thumb screw as
shown in Figure D.
Insert atomizer assembly into reservoir with power cord
in notch provided in reservoir. Fit tube seal over vapor
discharge tube. Set dome over atomizer and through
mounting plate and hole in duct. Adjust reservoir to
touch front rubber feet then slide the tube seal against
the mounting plate. Slide rear rubber foot against the
reservoir holding it in place, tighten nut.
WIRING. Provide standard electric receptacle to
receive electric cord from humidifier. Power for
humidifier must come from the furnace blower motor to
insure that it never runs unless there is air flow.
A humidistat may be wired in series with the hot leg
from the blower motor. See wiring diagram, Figure B.
Plug in the humidifier, it is now ready for operation.
CARE OF THE MACHINE
Periodically the atomizing unit should be removed from
the reservoir and given a careful visual check. The
pump tube should be spun by hand to make sure that it
is free to revolve without binding. See maintenance
instructions.

OPERATION
Positive capacity atomizing humidifiers produce a mist that
will quickly evaporate into the air if there is no impingement
of water particles against barrier surfaces before the water
particles against barrier surfaces before the water is
completely absorbed. Strict attention to minimum clearance
dimensions must be adhered to in order to avoid
condensation.
MAINTENANCE
Unplug electric cord & remove dome. Carefully lift atomizing
unit out of reservoir (Figure E). Hold atomizing unit firmly
and remove the perforated screen (E-1) by turning it slightly
to the left until the four lugs are in line with the slots. To
remove the impeller cap (E-2), hold a flat file or the back of a
table knife flat against the side of the tube and gently tap the
cap which is held in place by a pressed fit. After the cap has
been removed, the inside of the tube is visible and it is
simple matter to clean it with a piece of cloth on the end of a
screwdriver or a small round brush.
There are three ports through which water makes its way
from the pump tube to the top of the rotating disc (E-3).
These ports should be cleaned out with the aid of a wire.
See drawing on this page.
Replace the impeller cap by tapping it evenly back into
place, using plastic handle on screwdriver.
Remove water from reservoir & rinse. Fill reservoir with
white vinegar or other mild acid solution. Replace dome &
atomizer on reservoir & block outlet of dome with plastic
wrap & a rubber band. Run atomizer for ½ hour or until
minerals are completely dissolved. If necessary, rinse with
diluted chlorine bleach solution. Rinse with clean water and
return to service. For hard water problems, see
“demineralized water” below.
Inspect float valve assemble periodically, & replace when
necessary, or every few years. Should this humidifier need
service or repair some time in the future, return only
atomizing unit direct to the factory.
DEMINERALIZED WATER
If your local water supply has a high mineral content, (call
water company & ask for “total dissolved solids” or T.D.S.)
This mineral will create tiny particles of airborne “white dust”
when the mist evaporates in the air. To eliminate this dust,
use an ion exchange or a reverse osmosis demineralizer.
See Humidity Source data sheets for Reverse Osmosis
demineralizing filters.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
These installation instructions have been provided to assist the installer in
making a good installation. Inside you will find a step by step typical installation,
pictured in road map fashion for your convenience. Please familiarize yourself
with these instructions before installing your Humidity Source Quality Humidifier.
APPLICATION
The model WJ-228 humidifier has been designed to discharge the mist directly
into the air stream of either supply or return ducts. Check to insure that the air in
the duct has a high enough temperature and low enough humidity to allow for
complete absorption of the mist. Reduce output if necessary.
Minimum air flow requirements for proper operation are:
WJ-228 1200 CFM
Humidity Source positive capacity atomizing humidifiers produce moisture that
will quickly evaporate in the air duct if there is no impingement of water particles
against barrier surfaces before the vapor is completely absorbed. It is important
that minimum clearance be adhered to as shown in these installation instructions
to prevent any condensation from forming in the duct.

Cleaning Of The Atomizing Unit
MAINTENANCE
All natural water systems have a certain amount of
water solids which will accumulate in the atomizing
unit of your humidifier. Over time this accumulation
will reduce the efficiency and out-put of the
humidifier. When this happens it will be necessary
to clean the atomizing unit pump tube.

Before cleaning be sure to disconnect electrical power from the humidifier. Carefully lift
atomizing unit out of reservoir. To remove the impeller cap, hold a flat file or the back of
a table knife flat against the side of the tube and gently tap the cap which is held in
place by a pressed fit. After the cap has been removed, the inside of the tube is visible
and it is simple matter to clean it with a piece of cloth on the end of a screwdriver or a
small round brush.
There are three ports through which water makes its way from the pump tube to the top

Before proceeding with the installation, the location of Model
WF-HH-229 Humidifier must be selected. There are several
through-the-wall considerations that can be chosen, utility or
equipment rooms, a dead space area, closet space, etc.
Step 1. Select a location for your humidifier so that there will
be 6 feet minimum space between the Escutcheon side if the
wall and the nearest wall or obstruction. There should also be
6 ½ feet minimum distance to the floor and at least 12 inches
from the ceiling (see Figure A).
minimum distance guidelines may result in moisture on
the walls or ceiling.
Step 2. Use the Mounting Bracket as a template and mark the
location for (2) ½” diameter holes and slot for humidifier
discharge tube (Figure B). Drill the ½’ holes and cut the slot in
the wall board on the unit side only. Cut a 3 ½” hole in the
Escutcheon or unit discharge side of the wall to allow the
extension tube to protrude through the wall. Establish a 2” per
foot pitch toward the humidifier when cutting the 3 ½” hole.
Step 3. Fasten the Mounting Bar to the top of the Mounting
Bracket with (2) ¼” bolts as shown in Figure C. Mount the
entire assembly to the wall with (2) #12 wood screws through
the Mounting Bracket.. The Mounting Bar is sized to match
normal wall stud spacing (16” centers). Insert (3) rubber feet in
the bottom of the mounting plate, with rubber bumper up

Step 4. Place the Reservoir assembly on the Mounting
Bracket. Run a ¼” copper or PVC tubing line from an
appropriate water supply to the Reservoir float valve fitting. It is
recommended that a shut off valve be located at the water
supply connection in case of water leaks and for easy removal
of humidifier for maintenance. Turn on the water and adjust
the Reservoir water level to 1” below the over flow port using
the float valve adjusting thumb screw (Figure D).

Step 5. Cut the Extension Tube to the correct length
depending on your wall thickness. Allow sufficient Extension
Tube length (¾”) protruding through the wall to mount the
Escutcheon. Do not cut the Extension Tube at the rubber seal
end and smooth all rough edges after cutting.

Step 7. Insert the Vapor Dome with Extension Tube through
the wall from the humidifier side as shown in Figure F. The
Extension Tube should have a downward pitch toward the
humidifier of approximately 1” per foot. Place Vapor Dome on
top of Reservoir and connect Dome Strap. Water placed in the
Extension Tube should run back into the humidifier, if not
wedge a piece of spacing material (like a piece of wood) under
the Extension Tube to raise it.
Step 8. Adjust the two rear rubber feet on the Mounting
Bracket to snug the Reservoir up against the front rubber foot
to keep the reservoir firmly in place.
Step 9. Assemble the Escutcheon to the protruding Extension
Tube as shown in the two steps shown in Figure G.
Step 10. Make electrical connections as shown in Figure H.
The Humidity Source Humidifier is now ready for many years
of service.

OPERATION
Positive capacity atomizing humidifiers produce a mist that
will quickly evaporate into the air if there is no impingement
of water particles against barrier surfaces before the water
particles against barrier surfaces before the water is
completely absorbed. Strict attention to minimum clearance
dimensions must be adhered to in order to avoid
condensation.
MAINTENANCE
Unplug electric cord & remove dome. Carefully lift atomizing
unit out of reservoir (Figure 2). Hold atomizing unit firmly
and remove the perforated screen (2-A) by turning it slightly
to the left until the four lugs are in line with the slots. To
remove the impeller cap (2-B), hold a flat file or the back of a
table knife flat against the side of the tube and gently tap the
cap which is held in place by a pressed fit. After the cap has
been removed, the inside of the tube is visible and it is
simple matter to clean it with a piece of cloth on the end of a
screwdriver or a small round brush.
There are three ports through which water makes its way
from the pump tube to the top of the rotating disc (2-C).
These ports should be cleaned out with the aid of a wire.
See drawing on this page.
Replace the impeller cap by tapping it evenly back into
place, using plastic handle on screwdriver.
Remove water from reservoir & rinse. Fill reservoir with
white vinegar or other mild acid solution. Replace dome &
atomizer on reservoir & block outlet of dome with plastic
wrap & a rubber band. Run atomizer for ½ hour or until
minerals are completely dissolved. If necessary, rinse with
diluted chlorine bleach solution. Rinse with clean water and
return to service. For hard water problems, see
“demineralized water” below.
Inspect float valve assemble periodically, & replace when
necessary, or every few years. Should this humidifier need
service or repair some time in the future, return only
atomizing unit direct to the factory.
DEMINERALIZED WATER
If your local water supply has a high mineral content, (call
water company & ask for “total dissolved solids” or T.D.S.)
This mineral will create tiny particles of airborne “white dust”
when the mist evaporates in the air. To eliminate this dust,
use an ion exchange or a reverse osmosis demineralizer.
See Humidity Source data sheets for Reverse Osmosis
demineralizing filters.

CENTRIFUGAL ATOMIZER
The heart of Humidity Source humidifier
units is the patented masterfully engineered
Centrifugal Atomizer. Water is drawn by
centrifugal force up through the rotating
impeller cap and pump tube, then spun
across the disk rotating at 3250 RPM
striking the Vapor-Maker Comb creating an
extremely fine vapor. An integral fan under
the rotating disk blows the vapor out of the
unit resulting in a fine atomized vapor that
is quickly absorbed into the air.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
These installation instructions have been provided to assist the installer in
making a good installation. Inside you will find a step by step typical installation,
pictured in road map fashion for your convenience. Please familiarize yourself
with these instructions before installing your Humidity Source Quality Humidifier.
APPLICATION
The model WT humidifier has been designed to discharge the mist directly into
the air stream of either supply or return ducts. Check to insure that the air in the
duct has a high enough temperature and low enough humidity to allow for
complete absorption of the mist. Reduce output if necessary.
Minimum air flow requirements for proper operation are:
WT/WT-B 2000 CFM
Humidity Source positive capacity atomizing humidifiers produce moisture that
will quickly evaporate in the air duct if there is no impingement of water particles
against barrier surfaces before the vapor is completely absorbed. It is important
that minimum clearance be adhered to as shown in these installation instructions
to prevent any condensation from forming in the duct.

All natural water systems have a certain amount of
water solids which will accumulate in the atomizing
unit of your humidifier. Over time this accumulation
will reduce the efficiency and out-put of the
humidifier. When this happens it will be necessary
to clean the atomizing unit pump tube.
