STEP 7. WATERING THE SYSTEM
The final step is to fill the Humidifier with water. FILL THE
HUMIDIFIER WITH THE WATERING CAN FILLED TO THE FULL
CAN MARK. Instruct the piano owner to add a watering can
filled to the full can mark whenever the yellow low water
warning light blinks. Also instruct the piano owner to add one
capful of PAD Treatment to each full watering can. PAD Treat-
ment inhibits mildew in both the watering tube and the Humidi-
fier tank and increases the life of Humidifier pads.
Warning: Add only Dampp-Chaser PAD Treatment to the
Humidifier water. Other brands of water treatment may
contain acids which may corrode strings and metal parts in
the piano. The use of other water treatment preparations will
void the warranty of the Piano Life Saver System and may
void the warranty of the piano manufacturer.
If tap water comes from a well or is "hard" water, meaning
containing significant minerals, we recommend using distilled
water. If distilled water is used, add PAD Treatment (according
to the label instructions) to insure there are adequate electro-
lytes in the Humidifier to support operation of the low water
warning light. Without sufficient electrolytes, the light will blink
continuously, even when the tank is full. Do not put salt in the
Humidifier, as it is corrosive.
To fill the Humidifier tank, simply reach under the keybed, pull
the tubing out of the half clamps, connect the spout inside the
tube, raise the watering can, and add water. After the humidifier
is filled, the watering can (which is still connected to the
watering tube) should be lowered below the bottom of the rim
so that any water remaining in the tube is drained into the
watering can. Then, disconnect the watering can from the tube
and push the tube back into the half clamps. The System is
designed so siphoning will not occur. This completes the
installation of the System.

Humidifier Maintenance: To ensure a properly functioning
Humidifier, the pads should be changed at least twice each
year. This applies whether a Smart Bracket is used or not.
Change them during the fall service of the piano and then again
in the spring. Replacement pads can be obtained from Dampp-
Chaser or from any Dampp-Chaser distributor. Clean the
Humidifier once yearly by changing the liner. Be sure that the
watering tube is inside the liner when it is replaced. The Tank
must be lowered to do this. The holes in the new liner may be
enlarged with a pair of scissors to make installation easier.
When you replace the liner, also replace the plastic Clean
Sleeve on the Humidifier Heater Bar to protect the Bar from
excessive corrosive minerals in the water (Figure 2, page 3).
Smart Bracket Maintenance: If the System includes the
optional Smart Bracket, the sensor wires operate more effec-
tively if the wires are kept free from corrosion and minerals.
During pad changing, remove the Bracket from the heater bar.
Remove the mineral residue on the wires by scraping with the
dull edge of a knife held perpendicular to the wire. Alternatively,
it may be simpler to bring a new SB to replace the old one.
Replacement SB's are available from your Dampp-Chaser
distributor. Be sure to mount theSB outside the Sleeve on the
Humidifier Heater Bar.
To protect the Humidifier Heater Bar from corrosion due to
excessive minerals in the water, when you service the
Humidifier, put a plastic Clean Sleeve
Always mount the Smart Bracket
OUTSIDE the plastic sleeve
