Product Overview
Dry indoor air in the wintertime can wreak havoc on your comfort and even cause damage to your home’s interior. Maintaining a proper humidity level by using a whole house humidifier like the Aprilaire 600/600M is the ideal solution. It's an in-duct bypass humidifier that works with your existing heating and cooling system to provide comfortably humidified air throughout every inch of your home. Functioning as an evaporative humidifier, these models evenly distribute up to 17 gallons of moisture per day. This is enough to humidify tightly sealed homes up to 4,000 square feet, average sealed homes up to 2,000 square feet, and loosely sealed homes up to 1,500 square feet.
How It Operates
Once connected to your HVAC system, the Aprilaire 600 and 600M Bypass Whole House Humidifiers humidify your home using a natural evaporation process.
- More Humidity Needed: When the humidifier controller triggers a need for more humidity, water automatically flows from the connected water line into a distribution tray located at the top of the humidifier.
- Moisture Creation: Water is distributed evenly across the width of this tray and directed to flow over Aprilaire’s patented Water Panel evaporator into the heart of the humidifier. Moisture from the distribution tray is then evaporated into the incoming dry air, creating comfortably humidified air.
- Distribution: Humidified air is then distributed throughout your home through your HVAC system’s return duct and with the help of the blower.
Ideal for Larger Homes, Delivers 50% More Moisture Than The Competition
The Aprilaire Model 600 Whole House Humidifier is a great choice for larger homes that require a large humidifying capacity. The model incorporates a built-in bypass damper and right/left discharge change-over for easier installation and operation, and is equipped with a built-in drain to flush mineral build-up. As a result, water does not accumulate inside the unit, so humidified air is always fresh and clean.
These features and others are among the main reasons why the Aprilaire 600 is one of the best performing bypass humidifier on the market. You can count on it to deliver roughly 50% more moisture than the competition.
Two Aprilaire 600 Models Available
- Model 600: Comes with a digital humidity controller that supports both automatic “set it and forget it” operation and manual humidity control.
- Model 600M: Comes with a manual humidity controller that supports manual humidity control only. Thorough instructions and guidance for setting and adjusting an ideal humidity level using the controllers are included with each model.
Additional Benefits and Features
- Water Panel Change Indicator - For proper humidifying throughout the season, you should replace the Water Panel twice per year. Each model includes a helpful indicator that reminds you when it’s time for a replacement.
- Protects Your Interior - Optimally humidified air helps protect your wood floors, furnishings, and your home’s infrastructure from damage due to low humidity.
- Relieves Dry Air Symptoms - Properly humidified air also reduces respiratory irritation triggered by low humidity and helps alleviate itchy dry skin.
- May Reduce Energy Costs - Maintaining healthy humidified air during the colder months can actually help you feel warmer, leading to reduced heating costs.
- Professional Installation Recommended - Aprilaire highly recommends having a qualified HVAC professional install these units.
Product Warranty Note: Professional installation is required. The Aprilaire parts warranty will be void if not installed by a licensed contractor.
