I have a 1,300sf guest house remodel with new foam insulation in Tucson. Steam seems like overkill for that small and tight of a house that isn't used 100% of the time. For a bypass system should I hook up the inline water supply from the hot water heater to have warm water (125ish degrees) flow over the filter? (The house is on a water softner system as well. Don't know if that matters.) Will the bypass unit only work when the heat is on? Or will it also work when the A/C is on? Great videos! Very concise and easy to understand. Thank you for ting the time to create..
Has to be connected to cold water believe it or not is actually better and yes they only work when the heat is on. Steam is ok even in small spaces if it’s very dry. We have customers out here with homes that size that require steam due to the dryness in spite of being a small space. Just depends on comfort desires :)
For a bypass? It won’t be as effective as steam with fan operation if you’re trying to humidify with fan mode bypass operation… bypass systems are typically designed to be effective in heating mode operation

I was wrong you actually plumb the bypass humidifiers to hot. Cold water is for steam humidifiers (AprilAire 800) so that’s my mistake!
Will it affect the humidifier's operation and or water consumption if I let the furnace's fan run non-stop? Thanks.
