How it Works... Desert Spring Rotary Disc Wheel Technology

Desert Spring Humidifier Technology

The Desert Spring furnace humidifier uses a patented rotary disc interface technology which provides over 15 square feet of evaporative surface with a unit that is no bigger than most traditional furnace humidifiers. This cylinder of ring-shaped, flat plastic disks which rotate through the water reservoir, is the central part of the desert springs revolutionary technology. As the drum turns, microscopic groves on the high temperature plastic discs picks up a minute layer of water which is then evaporated into the air. Any minerals that are present in your water are simply washed off the disc assembly as it spins back through the water in the basin.

The Desert Spring furnace humidifier is not susceptible to mineral build-up which can cause the drum to become unbalanced and put unnecessary strain on the humidifier motor. Minerals will also not build up on the surface, like what happens with your traditional foam pad or drum humidifiers, trapping water and allowing it to stagnate.

Desert Spring DS3200 Whole House Humidifier Reviews


On the Ball5 Stars
I wish every company was as competent and "on the ball" as you guys are! Thanks so much. - Bob
A very happy customer5 Stars
I bought and installed your humidifier on my furnace late last summer. In the previous 10 years, I had installed 4 different humidifiers and replaced 100s of pads. I had to replace pads every month, because they were completely clogged. I tried feeding these humidifiers with both hard water, and soft water, each fouled the pads. I was apprehensive when I ordered your humidifier. When I received it, I was very impressed with the quality and design. Installation was easy, and it has run without maintenance for 4 months, and still looks new. I also installed and highly recommend the Auto-Flush-3 unit, which I am convinced has a lot to do with how clean the humidifier still is. In actual operation, the house remains very comfortable, and there has yet to be a single electrical spark shooting out of anyone's finger. I am a very happy customer who highly recommends this product. - Dan from New Hampshire
Absolute Bargain5 Stars
When I first bought your Humidifier, I thought "wow" is it ever expensive! But I can tell you today that I would pay 2.5 times, even 3 times more for your humidifier compared to other humidifiers because it is an absolute bargain. Your product really does the job. It ran a full season perfectly and at my humidity level of choice. Thanks, Desert Spring, from our whole family. - Dave from Ontario

Great Humidifier5 Stars
I have owned several of these and they work great. They are super reliable and keep my house in calgary at the humidity level I want. Its so good you have to remember to turn it down before cold spells or windows get covered in humidity. Buying online was cheaper then at Can tire and I got it in under a week. - Jason Doc

I have a desert spring for over 10 years,i am really happy with the unit,the motor died ,so i replaced it with ease very pleased - Peter filan
Second Time Around5 Stars
We got one of these Desert Spring humidifiers at our previous home to replace a non-functional drip type. It was easy to install and made such an immediate and significant difference that when we moved we put one in the new house, and it has also been great. We got the auto-flush option both times for convenience, but unfortunately on the latest one it was received defective. It was no problem to get a warranty replacement from HomePlus (came within a week) and it has been working fine since. We love our humidifier. - John Turner
Desert Springs humidifier5 Stars
I have used the humidifier for many years and love the fact I don’t need to change messy water filters each week as it lasts the whole season. The company has been terrific and fast when I call them about any questions and recently solved a problem quickly when the small motor eventually needed replacing. Their response to my emails is immediate, helpful and knowledgeable and the humidifier does a great job keeping the whole house comfortable during the dry winter heating. - Elizabeth Pollock
Humidifer works and looks great5 Stars
Simple to install, looks great when finished. Runs really quiet. - Dan

Great Unit and seems to work well5 Stars
I purchased the Desert Spring whole house humidifier and installed it in the late winter and it seems to work well. The big test will be next winter to see how it works when it's 30 below outside! I also purchased and installed the Autoflush system, but unfortunately I can't use it as I don't have a drain in the basement capable of handling that much water flow. So I am cleaning the drum and inside of the unit manually with 10% cleaning vinegar every so often. A bit of a nuisance but seems to do the job. - Rick Ivanoff
Definite Improvement 5 Stars
I purchased the Desert Springs DS3200 to replace the old Desert Springs unit I had. The old one was over 10 years old and still working. I replaced it because I couldn't fully descale it. This time I purchased the autoflush unit with it and installed the antiscale filter. Definite improvement in performance. Water is staying clean with very little scale. Price from highqproducts was less then everywhere else. Very happy with my purchae - Claude Pelletier

Question:How do I shut down my humidifier at the end of the season?
Answer(s):

The first step in shutting down your humidifier at the end of the humidification season is to shut off the water supply. This is done by closing the needle valve. The water should be drained out of the unit and the damper on the hot air duct should be closed. Once all the water has been drained it is often a good idea to clean out any minerals that may have settled in the basin or on the disc wheel. A vinegar and water solution works well for this. The final step is to turn the humidistat down to it's lowest setting which will effectively turn off the power to the humidifier.

Question:How long is the warranty?
Answer(s):

The Desert Spring furnace humidifier is warrantied against manufacturing defects for one (1) year from the date of purchase. If you purchase our extra value package or ultimate value package this is increased to two (2) years.

Question:How often should I clean out the basin?
Answer(s):

In normal applications the basin / humidifier only needs to be cleaned at the end of each humidifying season. If your water supply is very hard, then you may have to clean out your Desert Spring furnace humidifier more often. If you want to avoid this type of routine maintenance, you may want to consider purchasing either the autoflush or the in-line anti-scale filter.

Question:What do I do if I have very hard water?
Answer(s):

If your water supply is very hard, then you may have to clean out your Desert Spring furnace humidifier more often. If you want to avoid this type of routine maintenance, you may want to consider purchasing either the autoflush or the in-line anti-scale filter.

Question:We have had a Desert Springs humidifier for 10 years now and everything is still running, water level is good, drum is clean and turning but the humidity is not rising. Does the drum effectiveness eventually drop off to a point you need a new drum/ discs.
Answer(s):

No, if the drum is clean it should not need to be replaced. If your water level is good, and the drum is turning (this means it's calling for humidity), then it is probably an issue with air flow. If it's warmer outside and your furnace isn't being used as much then it's probably not running enough to raise the humidity. I would recommend setting your furnace fan to running continuously. You can also test to make sure the humidifier is working as expected by turning off the water supply, draining the basin, adding a measured amount of water, running it for a certain length of time and measuring the remaining water to see how much humidity was added to your air.
