How do I fill the tank with water

Either call or go back to the Walgreens where you purchased the Humidifier. They will either take one from another box or make a copy of it for you.

The damper should be in the middle position allowing air to pass through the humidifer putting moisture in the air.

Hello WPwilkers, Well there's good news and good news!

First off, you should probably use the lowest possible setting as your house being so new, is likely pretty "air-tight" and as such, doesn't have a lot of air infiltration (gaps and drafts) hence the reason you're seeing moisture on the windows.

Now, I would also use a hygrometer, just like your parents likely had hanging on a wall somewhere in their house. It will give you a better idea of the moistur (humidity) around the house. My guess is that you're already at the 60%+ level of humidity.

I suggest that you turn "OFF" the furnace mounted humidifier, until you no longer see moisture on the windows. That will allow the house to adjust and get back to normal humidity levels.

Then you can start by setting the humidifier on the lowest possible setting and keep an eye on the moisture levels in your coldest room of the house, as that is where you'll first notice the excessive moisture on the windows (just the way it works - cold rooms get condensation on the cooler windows first).

If you don't have the humistat (the control for the furnance mounted humidifer) mounted next to your heating and cooling system thermostat, you should do that - it will make it easier to adjust and also will provide a more accurate reading for the humifier to operate properly.

Some Thermostats have the ability to add a humidifier on it for integrated controlling of the furnace humidifer. Check your Thermostat and Furnance owner's manual for details.

I used to have the same problem and found that by moving the humidifer control from the utility room (mine was in the basement of my house) to the living space, it made a big difference. Since most people's homes have unfinished basements and that's where the HVAC system is located, it doesn't get the same humidty readings as an occupied living space.

The other reason that you tend to get moisture (condensation) forming on windows is that the Percentage of humiditfication is set manually with the humidifier control, and yet, the outside (and inside) air temperature vary and the difference between them can cause the humidity levels to go from very dry to very moist, in a day or two.

I tend to wait until I notice that the air inside the house is getting dry and then turn on my humidifier, once the cold winter days have taken hold. In summary, nothing wrong with your unit, just mother nature and a well built (most air-tight) home are giving you higher levels of condensation than most older homes. Gradual adjustments, once you turn the humidifier off for awhile, should get you the desired results.

I hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

You may need a HRV/ERV installed. Depends on your indoor air quality(IAQ). It may be allergies. I would talk to a reputable heating/cooling contractor in your area to evaluate your system, recommendations.

it could be merely condensation or maybe the expansion and contraction of the metal as it heats up and cools down. if possible try insulating the vent if not done so already
