## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it require a floor drain?**
A: I wouldn't say require, but it needs to drain into something. I know of someone who uses a home Depot bucket and just dumps when needed until they route to there floor drain. But the water needs to go somewhere

**Q: I attached it to the cold air return. Should vent hose go to warm air side?**
A: Hi, if you are mounting the Honeywell Home HE280A Whole House Humidifier on the return duct, simply swap “return duct” for “supply duct” throughout these instructions on page 4 in the installation guide. If you require further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-633-3991, or through Twitter and Facebook under Honeywell Home. -Jerry

**Q: "Forced Air Furnace" - does this include heat pump systems?**
A: Hi, this can also be wired in a heat pump application. -Jay

**Q: I get 36% when I have it set to 60%. Any thoughts of wisdom?**
A: The humidity stat setting is when it will turn off not what it will necessarily achieve.  If the furnace ran long enough you may be able to get to 60 but as others noted you probably will only achieve more of a differential from outside to inside humidity.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great humidifier
*by M***Y on December 19, 2023*

Everything included for easy installation, unit works great, keep's humidity in my house perfect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good price for quality product
*by R***B on December 11, 2018*

Works as described. I like that it works without tying into furnace electrical system. Uses air pressure to turn on solenoid valve that lets water in. I installed humidifier and humidistat on return air so there is no possibility of water leakage on furnace controller. Installed in about 8 hours over two days, but I took my time.

### ⭐ Did not make it through the season
*by D***E on March 31, 2024*

Worked great for the first couple months but by the end of the season humidity levels in the home began to drop. Still some water on the filter but I suspect the valve isn't opening properly and even with the humidity turned up to max the unit doesn't seem to be making a difference. Disappointed because the install took some time. Thinking about buying one of the newer units with a digital control next year and hoping they've worked out whatever issue I've run into. I don't have hard water issues with other devices in the home so suspecting poor quality.
