Anden 5872 Cylinder/Canister Kit for AS150

Replacement Cylinder and Canister Kit for Anden AS150 Steam Humidifier

The Anden 5872 Cylinder and Canister Kit is the replacement canister assembly for the Anden AS150 High-Capacity Steam Humidifier with Vapor-logic. Like all electrode steam humidifiers, the AS150 generates steam by passing electrical current through water between submerged electrodes. Over time, mineral deposits build up on the electrode surfaces and accumulate in the canister water, reducing the effective electrode area and steam output.

When steam output from the AS150 decreases due to electrode depletion, the 5872 cylinder and canister kit restores the humidifier to full capacity. The kit includes the cylinder, canister, and O-ring needed for a complete canister replacement. Follow Anden's installation instructions for the AS150 when replacing the canister.

Who Should Use This Kit

The Anden 5872 is needed when the AS150 steam humidifier shows reduced steam output due to electrode depletion from mineral accumulation. For facilities running the AS150 continuously, establish a replacement schedule based on local water quality and operating conditions to maintain consistent steam output.

Steam Output Reduction and Canister Replacement Timing

The rate at which electrode depletion reduces steam output depends primarily on local water quality — specifically the concentration of dissolved minerals. Hard water with high mineral content causes faster electrode depletion than soft or filtered water. The AS150's Vapor-logic control system tracks canister performance over time and provides operational data that can guide replacement timing. Replacing the canister when output is significantly reduced rather than maintaining a fixed schedule is appropriate for most installations, but operators in areas with very hard water may establish a more predictable seasonal replacement interval.

Frequently Asked Questions

What humidifier does the 5872 fit?

The Anden 5872 is the replacement cylinder and canister kit for the Anden AS150 High-Capacity Steam Humidifier.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes the replacement cylinder, canister, and O-ring.

When should the canister be replaced?

Replace the 5872 kit when steam output from the AS150 decreases noticeably due to electrode depletion from mineral accumulation.

Does hard water affect canister life?

Yes. Hard water with higher mineral content causes faster mineral accumulation on the electrodes, which shortens canister service life compared to softer or filtered water.
