What is a Bypass Humidifier ?

BY-PASS humidifiers are water based. They will use the pressure difference between the furnace supply plenum  and the return plenum to move air through the humidifier. This is achieved by adding a 6 inch round connecting  duct between plenums (CATEGORY = GOOD)

What is the difference between MECHANICAL and DIGITAL humidistats ?

A DIGITAL humidistat includes an outdoor sensor, and is capable of operating in both MANUAL or AUTO modes. The outdoor sensor installation is optional. Additional costs are usually incurred in order to run the sensor to the outside of your home.

A MECHANICAL humidistat is only capable of operating in MANUAL mode.
