Four years ago, General Filters set a priority for all new product designs: make things easier for the contractor. According to Allan Feys, director of sales and business development, new models introduced at the Expo were designed around and evolved from that goal.
“The GeneralAire® 5500 steam humidifier bears the fruit of multiple focus groups and will reach the market in time for this fall’s heating season,” he said. “The new, compact single-cylinder unit works with water conductivity from 125 to 1250 µs/cm and can operate on 110 or 220 voltage via an internal switch. Its chassis keyholes are designed to fit the stud-to-stud mounting straps now included with the humidifier. The company expects the changes to save 20 minutes per install, while reducing SKU’s from six to two.”
