Questions and answers
WATER IS OVERFLOWING THE FILTER AN COMING ONTO THE FLOOR, TRIED SWITCHING WIRES ON THE CONTROL AN NOT WORKING. I CAN ONLY SET IT ON #1 WITHOUT IT OVERFLOWING.
The Aprilaire 600 filter may overflow and cause water to come onto the floor due to blockages or malfunctions. Specifically, issues like the water panel collapsing, deforming, or disintegrating can block the drain, leading to water pooling and spilling onto the floor. Additionally, improper maintenance or mineral buildup could exacerbate the problem by restricting water flow or causing leaks.

My 600 series Humidifier drips water constantly!!very frustrating. The plastic hose does not fit tightly in the opening provided. Water constantly drips our around the tube to the floor below. the tub doesn't fit tightly!!
If the Aprilaire 600 series humidifier is dripping water constantly around the plastic hose, it may be due to an old or faulty distribution tube. If the humidifier is more than five years old, the distribution tube may need replacement. A worn-out tube can cause excessive water usage and potential leaks. Replacing the tube involves disconnecting it from the solenoid valve and the top clip, then sliding in a new one with a new ferrule nut and ferrule ring.
