- CcurtisVerified BuyerReviewingGeneral Aire 5500 Whole House Steam Humidifier For Up To 5,500 Sq. Ft.I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoI would definitely buy this product again.
Purchased this steam humidifier for a 4000 sq ft, 3 level, house in very dry Northern Colorado. I was a bit worried as my water conductivity is on the low side at 78 us/cm where the unit is spec'ed for water conductivity between 125 and 1250 us/cm. In order to quickly precondition the filter I added a tea spoon of salt to the filter. After about 4 hours to install (I'm slow) the unit powered up and worked perfectly increasing the house humidify from 15% to 40% in about 2 days (with a outdoor temp of ~40F). This is very good product available at a great price and fast delivery from Sylvane.
