I think you will find that more water is removed from the air than put
into the air. In any case, read what you wrote again. Supposing that
there are five galons a day of water condensed out of the air. And
that one of those galons of water is sprayed back into the house.
five galons out
one galon put back
Now, was that a loss, or a gain? If anything you'd have to deal with
LESS humidity in the house. Which, summer time, isn't a bad thing.
You will need a drain under the radiator, in order to deal with the
CONDENSATE, which results from condensing humidity. The only way to
add humidity would be for the water flow from the city water to be
leaking.

The humidity would be formed by the cold water (whether it be
well-water or town/city water) which is colder than the ambient air
temperature. While this water passed through your pipes and your
radiator, water would condense on the outside of the rad/piping and
your furnace fan would blow this into your home, hence increasing the
houses' humidity.

unadulterated horseshit. I suppose you've never heard of chilled
water cooling coils, drain pans and condensate drains.

I've been wondering where all that added water comes from. Jimmy
figures to condense air out of the return, reevaporate it into the
supply and some how that increases humidity.
Well, to a less seasoned tech, the thought of all that water spraying
into the air sure looks like increased humidity.

Perpetual motion?
No way.
You are right, Chris.

I stand corrected and apologize for wasting bandwidth as well as usenet
space.
