This is the most effective and least expensive method to dispose of trouble-causing minerals. There are some homes where drain facilities are not accessi- ble or available.

In the Models 448 and 445 Aprilaire Humidifiers, these solids will build up on the evaporator surface, in the reservoir and pump section. This is why proper maintenance is important and necessary.

In the drain-equipped models, most of these solids are effec- tively controlled by flushing them down
