Anden 5872 Cylinder/Canister Kit for AS150

Cylinder and Canister Replacement Kit for the Anden AS150

The AS150's electrode canister and cylinder mineralize over time as they boil water to generate steam, the same wear mechanism that affects Anden's smaller AS35FP but scaled to the AS150's higher-capacity design. The 5872 kit replaces both wear components together rather than piecemeal.

The 5872 includes the cylinder, canister, and O-ring needed for a complete replacement, sized specifically for the AS150's high-capacity steam generation hardware rather than the smaller components used on the AS35FP.

Key Features & Benefits

• Complete Cylinder/Canister/O-Ring Kit — Replaces all three wear components together in one purchase.
• AS150-Specific Sizing — Matched to the AS150's high-capacity steam generation hardware, not interchangeable with AS35FP parts.
• Restores Steam Output — Addresses reduced output caused by mineral deposits accumulating on the electrodes over time.
• Follow Anden's Installation Instructions — Correct canister seating matters for consistent steam output after replacement.
• Scheduled Wear Part — Expected maintenance for a unit running continuously at high capacity.

When You Need This Kit

This kit is for AS150 owners who notice reduced steam output as mineral deposits build up on the electrodes over months of continuous operation. It's not a preventive part to swap on a fixed calendar the way some filters are — replace it when output actually drops rather than on an arbitrary schedule, unless Anden's documentation for your specific water conditions recommends otherwise.

Why the AS150 Uses a Different Kit Than the AS35FP

The AS150 is Anden's high-capacity steam humidifier, built to add up to 1,200 pints of moisture per day versus the AS35FP's 34.6-gallon maximum, and its steam generation hardware is sized accordingly. That means the AS150 uses its own cylinder and canister kit (the 5872) rather than the AS35FP's canister options (DH4480LC or DH4AS80) — the parts aren't interchangeable between the two humidifier models.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I replace the cylinder and canister?

Replace them when mineral deposits on the electrodes noticeably reduce the AS150's steam output. That buildup happens gradually as the unit boils water over months of operation, so output drop is the practical signal to watch for rather than a fixed calendar date.

What's included in the 5872 kit?

The kit includes the cylinder, canister, and O-ring needed for a complete replacement. All three wear components ship together so you're not sourcing them separately.

Does this fit the AS35FP too?

No, the 5872 is sized specifically for the AS150's high-capacity steam generation hardware. The AS35FP uses its own canister options (DH4480LC or DH4AS80) instead, since the two humidifiers use different-sized components.

How do I install the replacement kit?

Follow Anden's installation instructions for canister replacement, since correct seating of the cylinder and canister affects steam output consistency after the swap. Improper installation can lead to reduced performance even with new components.

What causes the electrodes to need replacement?

As the AS150 boils water to generate steam, dissolved minerals in the water gradually deposit on the electrodes, reducing how efficiently they conduct current and generate steam. That mineral buildup is a normal wear process for electrode steam humidification, not a sign of a defective unit.
