Ideal-Air Humidifier: Pro Series Ultrasonic Mist for Big Rooms
The Ideal-Air Pro Series Ultra Sonic is a commercial-grade humidifier built for grow rooms and greenhouses. Ultrasonic transducers break water into an ultra-fine mist that evaporates into the air before it settles. This model turns out up to 25 pints an hour, or about 600 pints a day. Mist leaves through two outlets of 4.33 in, ready to duct across the canopy for an even humidity field. Plates are cold-rolled steel inside a stainless steel box. A water line feeds the tank through a float valve, so it refills itself and stops at the maximum level. An overflow safety switch and a reservoir drain outlet are built into the case. Water passes a sediment filter on the way in, and two pre-sediment filters ship with the unit. The LED control panel takes a humidity set point from 30 to 90 percent. The unit stops at 5 percent above that target and restarts at 5 percent below it. If the water level drops too low, the humidifier shuts down and warns you. When it turns off, the fan runs another 30 seconds to clear residual water and cool the unit. It rolls on wheels, runs on 115V at 10.3 A, and carries a one-year warranty.
Ducting and Running a Commercial Ultrasonic Humidifier
Ideal-Air recommends ducting every ultrasonic unit with 4 in PVC or DWV pipe. Running it without ducting can leave the top covered in water and shut the machine off. Drill the spray holes in the pipe at about 0.59 in, spaced 3.25 to 8 in apart. Point the holes upward at least 30 degrees so condensed water does not run back into the unit. Keep at least 6 in between the outlet and the first elbow, and never build a trap into the line. Fill the tank only through the hose and float valve, never through the discharge outlets. Change the water in the tank every seven days. Clean the tank and the piezo plates every 30 days with a soft brush and clean water, no detergent. Rinse the filter at least once a month and replace it when it no longer clears. If the display shows E1, check the water supply; E2 points to the humidity sensor.
