Aprilaire # 80 Steam Canister for Model 800 Humidifier Save 42% Off

I''ve had this unit for 2 winters and overall I have to say we like it. It does a decent job of keeping the humidity up in the house during the winter months. There are two drawbacks that I can see with the unit.

First, it''s expensive to run, essentially you''re boiling water to make steam with electricity. That takes a decent amount of electric. Here in Western Pennsylvania, electric rates are pretty average for the country so I am guessing you''re looking at $25 a month to run the unit.

Next, the canisters are ridiculously expensive. They run between $60 and $80 each. The first time I replaced one, I could help but feel ripped off when I saw a plastic bottle with basically a piece of metal and two wires. Aprilaire is careful to seal the canisters so you can''t open them up and clean them and use them over again. I have city water and 1 canister lasts me an entire winter, your mileage may vary.

A word of caution, trying to run the unit for an extended amount of time with a dirty canister would use a lot more electricity than the unit normally uses. The unit would have to heat the dirty elements in the canister and well as heating the water.

This year when the warning light came on the replace the canister, it was close to the end of the heating season so I just turned my unit off. I didn''t see any purpose in installing a fresh canister to let it sit dirty all summer and hope it was clean enough to use next winter.

If you have especially hard water, I would think twice about getting this unit until someone comes out with an aftermarket consider that fits.

If you''re just getting your unit installed, talk to the installer about hooking up 220 to the unit. This extra power gives better steam generation and in the long run could save you some money. If they have to run a whole bunch of wiring to get the 220 hooked up, it''s probably not worth it but if the power is near buy, I''d certainly consider it.

Depending on the quality of your water, expect to replace this once a winter. This is my third Whole house humidifier and this canister is the way to go! Just replace it and your done. You don''t want to have to clean the build up on "other" types, especially with hard water.
