Hi all,
I have a whole house humidifier flow through bypass style mounted on the return and a takeoff duct going from supply into return. It's model "1042-L" on my furnace from 2001 and it's been a week and no increase in my home's humidity! Damper fully open, pad is new and installed correctly, solenoid clicks and works I can see water dripping down the pad and running to my condensate pump.
I don't understand why my humidity is still so low 16% after a week! I even checked the take off duct to verify it's not clogged. Upon doing so the humidifier was very warm so I know it's getting
the needed warm air. I turned the humidistat on full and after 3 days still 16-21%.
Like I said, I can see water dripping into my pump from humidifier when the furnace is running so I know it's flowing and should be working since I initially fired it up a week ago. My furnace is in a fully finished basement that's 1400sqft. Main floor is 2100 sqft, but after a week of constant heating cycles I feel that the humidity should have raised by now. Any ideas?
