As consumers become better educated about IAQ, the need for humidification and dehumidification — and the comfort solutions they provide — has increased. According to RnR Market Research, the global market for humidifiers is expected to surpass $1 billion by 2019. Another study, conducted by Grand View Research Inc., states the global dehumidifier market is expected to reach $3.54 billion by 2022.

The Water Savor Controller is a device that limits the amount of excess water leaving a bypass flow-through humidifier and exiting down the drain. It can be easily installed with any brand (new or previously installed) bypass flow-through humidifier.
Single phasing often occurs in an electric motor when one pair of points on its power contactor fails because of the destructive arcing that takes place each time these points open or close. This arc suppressor is designed for AC power applications that operate between 110-480 V and have a maximum allowable current of 235 A (rms).
Meeting customers’ humidification and dehumidification needs year-round can be challenging, which is why HVAC contractors are constantly seeking energy-efficient solutions.
Most building owners/managers don't know to the degree to which they may see financial benefits from creating healthier buildings. This is a prime opportunity for contractors to fill the void and explain how to achieve healthier buildings through improved IAQ.
Many building owners and managers are proactively incorporating IAQ equipment, such as dehumidifiers, energy recovery units, and UV technology, into their facilities.
There is no reason why building occupants should complain of odors, stale and stuffy air, or symptoms of illness or discomfort, as numerous solutions are available to mitigate most IAQ problems.
