either case, the Water Panel evaporator is usually changed once
a year. In the Models 448 and 445 Aprilaire Humidifiers, these
solids will build up on the evaporator surface, in the reservoir
and pump section. This is why proper maintenance is important
and necessary. Service hot water, 140° maximum, is recom­
mended with drain type units for increasing capacity and for
heat pump applications.
in the drain-equipped models, most of these solids are effec­
tively controlled by flushing them down the drain.
