SOURCE: humidifier occasionally runs in spurts (on for 2 secs and then turns off)
It's just trying to keep the humidity level you set it at. By dropping the temperature in your home or changing the humidity level you want you can avoid this.
Good Luck.
SOURCE: aprilaire 600 humidity level too low
you may try running your blower 100% of the time.this should allow the humidifier to stay on even when your not heating. once the humidity level gets to where you want it, you may be able to put the fan selector back to auto. also you mentioned you have a variable blower. this is great if it is set up to run at approx. 20% fan speed when it is not heating or cooling. at 20% you can circulate enough air through the house to humidify without being able to hear the noise of the blower. it will really increase the comfort level of the house if you tend to have hot and cool spots. if it was not set up this way, contact the installer and ask if they can do this for you.

But by putting it in manual mose, you have to shut it sdown every season. With it in auto mode, and an outdoor sensor hooked up, you won't have to mess with it.
SOURCE: When I turn on the humidifier it shuts off the furnace
some one has the humidifier hooked up to the R and W on the furnace.
1. it should be hooked up to its own transformer or to a proper low voltage terminal on the circuit board(beware there are high voltage HUM terminals) markd HUM and the other wire to C or the common.
2. You could hook the wire to W or white and C Common but I would rather see a seperate transformer since there is a possiblity this could cause solenoid chattering

If you are using large amounts of water and it is not leaking anywhere than I would be inclined to think that your humidity indicator is not correct. Do you notice any differences since you have been using it,such as less static electricity,skin and hair not as dry as usual or house plants looking better if you have any. Also not knowing what area you live in I don't have any idea what your normal atmospheric temperature or humidity are. Other factors to consider is how well your house is insulated,number of doors and windows and how many times doors are opened. Without knowing these things your humidifier may be doing all it can. Hope this is of some help.Thank
