Dear Paul and list, Dampp-Chaser has a new device known as the Smart Heater Bar. It is designed for the very reasons you have mentioned in your posts to the list. The SHB replaces the humidifier heater bar and is available as a retro-fit to existing systems or as part of a new system. It is not yet standard so it must be requested from your distributor. The SHB has two probes which run along the top of the bar and act as moisture sensors for the pads. When the probes no longer sense moisture in the pads, they will turn off the heater bar and turn on a crimson light indicating to the customer that he must contact his technician to change the pads. This crimson light is in addition to the amber colored low water warning light. Please contact your distributor for pricing information. Thank you for your questions and comments. Please feel free to contact us with any others that you may have at: 800-438-1524 or e-mail : Damppchasr@circle.net Regards, Karen Rives Dampp-Chaser
