    Furnace humidifier
    Hello, I have a problem with my furnace hunidifier, model Aprilaire... When I turn the heat on and the blower starts working, there is a water running non stop. I know that this is from my humidifier, but can anyone help me and tell what is wrong? The water just runs and runs and stop only when I turn off the furnace fan.
    Thank you

    Actually it is supposed to run water if it is a bypass humidfier. The water is supposed to run out of the drain in a very small stream. They need to be serviced every year. New pad and orifice for the water.
