Why tank size does not equal runtime

Capacity and output describe different parts of ownership.

Why tank size does not equal runtime

Separate the measurements

Tank capacity is an amount of water. Output is a rate. Dividing capacity by a constant output provides a theoretical runtime; it does not model every operating mode.

Record your own pattern

Start with a known fill amount, record the selected output and note when the device cycles off. Avoid counting a spill or tank rinse as water used for humidification.

Compare like with like

Use the same units and settings when comparing products. Maximum runtime often reflects a low-output setting, while a quoted maximum output may describe a very different operating condition.
