Aprilaire 600 – the best performing bypass humidifier

The Aprilaire 600 Bypass Evaporative Pad Humidifier comes bundled with a built-in bypass damper making installation easier than ever as there are fewer parts to install. Incorporating all the performance benefits of other high-end Aprilaire humidifiers, the Aprilaire 600 humidifier comes with an evaporative capacity of 0.70 gallons per hour and is best suited for tightly constructed homes of up to 4000 square feet. With the damper on the Aprilaire 600 humidifier conveniently labeled for summer and winter settings, you can easily set it for the entire season, eliminating all guesswork. Once you set it, the advanced computer-equipped Aprilaire 600 humidifier operates automatically on low energy consumption to deliver up to 50% more humidity than other competitive humidifiers. The Aprilaire 600 humidifier works with your furnace blower to move air through a 6”duct into your main duct system.

The Aprilaire 600 humidifier also features a drain that flushes minerals and solid residue out, keeping the system on a high performance level. Ensuring optimum comfort with the digital AutoTrac control system, the Aprilaire 600 humidifier raises and lowers the humidity set point with changing outdoor temperature conditions. Some of the exciting features of the Aprilaire 600 humidifier include digital humidity control, outdoor temperature sensor, first Aprilaire water panel, 24V transformer, saddle valve and installation instructions from Aprilaire.

How the Aprilaire 600 works

The Aprilaire 600 humidifier sends air via your supply air trunk or plenum, which is then passed through the humidifier where a vertical water panel has water flowing down it. From the humidifier the air is blown back to your cold air return trunk or return drop. When the Aprilaire 600 humidifier senses the need of humidity, it uses the hot air from your supply air to evaporate the water dripping from the water panel and puts the resulting moisture into your home. The drain attached to the bottom of the Aprilaire 600 humidifier flushes the excess water, minerals and solid residue out of the system. With this draining feature, Aprilaire 600 humidifiers introduce much healthier air into your house and they also require much less maintenance.

Installation and maintenance

You can easily install your Aprilaire 600 humidifier either on the supply or return plenum of any forced air furnace. Aprilaire 600 humidifiers are flexible to be installed with right or left hand bypass pipe connections. The Aprilaire 600 humidifier can also be installed in manual mode if needed. Water panels for the Aprilaire 600 humidifier will need to be replaced 1-2 times annually whereas the water distribution tray will need to be replaced every 5 years, the orifice and strainer every 3-5 years, and the saddle valve will need to be replaced every 5 years.
