Need to measure water consumption and waste from Aprilaire 600 humidifier

It uses heated water and is dumping at least 10+ gallons down the drain,
and
not doing much to humidify house.




Look for a damper, which might be closed. Normally, those things do a
terrific job. Might also need a new media pad. Or, the water may be
dropping
through, without wetting the media. Or the media may be clogged with
minerals. Turn the humidistat up a little?

Pad is new as of (very late) October when furnace was inspected and started
up for winter
Damper is wide open
Control has been slowly turned up to highest level
Humidity level never went past 30% (42 was optimal last year)

The whole install is new as of summer of 2010.
