your humidifier should not be discharging that much liquid as far as tapping into the main drain that’s not legal or a good Idea i cant think of any reason you cant drain into the sump have the installer look at the april air its not working right does this installer have a License id find out good luck

Sounds like the humidifier is wired so the solenoid on the water valve is never off (it should go off or shut when the furnace isn’t running) and that is causing the excess water to fill the sump. The wall control to adjust the moisture in the air works well for me. I set it and forget it. I watch for water inside the windows and if I notice any, I dial back the humidifier a bit. I think even if your wall control is all the way on, the solenoid should shut the water valve off when the furnace is off. Good luck.

The answer to all of your questions but id definitely get the humidity level each time the outdoor temp gauge and had.
The weather was going to furnace is running so got fed up or down few degrees it would be 247 what pain so maybe thats factor but didnt like manually adjusting the answer to all of.
