Humidi$aver Patent # 9,459,016
Saving The Planet and Serving Families
In Washington Township, Michigan, assuming a 150 day heating season, with the current water, sewer and fixed service charges, a seasonal savings of about $65.00 would be realized. Not only would you save money, think about the environmental impact of all the houses wasting good water down the drain at a rate of 23 gallons per day.
The furnace turns on. If the cold air return mounted humidistat calls for humidity, the humidifier will turn on. A 24VAC relay powered by the humidifier or furnace, switches 110VAC from a wall plug to the submersible pump and the UV light. The Humidi$aver container is full of condensate water from previous runs. This water is then pumped up to the humidifier inlet. The excess water drips out the bottom of the humidifier and into the collection container, instead of going into the sewer. This process will continue until the furnace shuts off.
Based on a typical installation, 8 ounces of city water is pumped into the evaporator pad humidifier every minute. A typical furnace run cycle would be about 10 minutes, using 80 ounces of water. Of the 80 ounces used, only 6 ounces will go into the house as humidity. That means that 74 ounces will be sent down the drain. Overall efficiency of a humidifier is 7.5%. Humidisaver changes all that.
