The model 8000 Echelon steam humidifier can deliver up to 23.3 gallons per day; enough to effectively humidify a 5,000 square foot home. The control algorithm in the unit manages the water level to insure 11.5 amps of electricity is used when operating. The 11.5 amps is the same if it’s installed with 240v, 208v or 120v, leading to an increase in steam produced based on the voltage that is selected. This ability allows the same unit to be used for small and large homes (one SKU).
