Humidification – Skuttle Indoor Air Quality Products Air Cleaner User Manual

Today’s tightly constructed homes effectively retain con-
ditioned (heated or cooled) air, but seal out fresh, healthful
outdoor air. This condition contributes to what is known
as sick house syndrome – a home environment in which
family members frequently suffer from colds, flu, aller-
gies, asthma and other ailments. Occasionally, these ail-
ments are at a life-threatening level. Skuttle manufactures
two efficient systems to bring the outdoors indoors for a
healthier home atmosphere:
Skuttle’s Self-Adjusting Make-Up Air Control uses
your HVAC system to disperse fresh, filtered, conditioned
outdoor air throughout your home, without using additional electricity. By creating a slight pres-
sure buildup, the Make-Up Air Control also prevents unwanted air infiltration around windows
and doors.
The Skuttle Make-Up Air Diffuser supplies supplementary, fresh combustion air to appliances
(furnaces, dryers, etc.) with inadequate combustion air sources.

Skuttle Enhances Indoor Air Quality Three Ways To Make a Skuttle “Happy House”
In addition to air filtration, our three-tiered, integrated approach to home air quality includes humidification and
ventilation.
Humidification
Dry winter air makes your home drier than a desert! During the winter months, when cold, dry air enters your home and is
heated, it has an intensified capacity to hold water. Acting like a sponge, it absorbs moisture from wherever it can find it –
furniture, woodwork, plants, pets...even people! The result is a range of discomforts and potentially expensive problems,
including:
•
dry skin
•
sore throats
•
static electricity
•
cracked furniture and woodwork
•
stuffy noses
•
allergies and respiratory ailments
•
wilted plants
•
damaged artwork, musical instruments and antiques
To combat these conditions, thousands of homeowners are discovering the multiple benefits of Skuttle whole-house humidi-
fiers. Because needs vary, Skuttle makes 15 different models – enough to fit more floor plans, heating systems and water types
than any other manufacturer.
