KTM does the Heier have an option for a pump or is it gravity fed to a drain only? Anyone have any luck with systems that have a humidistat so the humidity can be kept constant? Air that is too dry can be just as bad as too much. Nothing like waking up with a bloody nose.
The heier does have an option to gravity drain the water, but no pump and it does have a humistat so you can adjust the humidity level. The humistat doesn't have a "relative humidity" number, just a continously variable range from "very dry" through normal and "high". I've found the "normal" range gets the humidity into the 30-35% range, which is pretty comfortable for us. It also has a "high" and "low" fan speed
