Product Usage Instructions
Calculating Gallons Per Day (GPD)
Before installing the GF5500 Steam Humidifier, you need to calculate the GPD required for your home. Follow the formula below:
- Total Square Footage (including Basement) x Average Ceiling Height = Number
- Number x Relative Humidity x 1.05 per Fireplace in Home = Humidity Load (PPH)
- Humidity Load x 2.88 (GPD conversion) = Desired Gallons Per Day
Testing Water Conductivity
Before installing the GF5500 Steam Humidifier, it is important to test the water conductivity using the AP-2 Conductivity Tester. Follow these steps:
- Fill a glass with one cup of water from the steam humidifier water supply (Figure A).
- Turn on the AP-2 tester and insert it into the glass of water (Figure B).
- Correlate the results with GF5500 specifications to ensure compatibility.
Configuring the GF5500
To configure the GF5500 for Amps/Voltage, follow Section 4.4 in the Install Manual:
- Visit our website (www.GeneralAireIAQ.ca) or refer to your physical copy of the GF550 Installation Manual.
- Proceed to Section 4.4 (Page 20) titled “Initial Configuration If Necessary: Change Maximum Production”.
- Follow Section 5.3 (Page 23) to complete the configuration.
Selecting the Proper Duct Mount Kit
Choose the appropriate Duct Mount Kit based on your power supply:
- RMB15 for 110V power supply
- RMB35 for 230V power supply
