I fixed a bypass humidifier by install a 6" duct fan in the bypass duct, +200 cfm. I had the windows dripping in two days. You do not get enough air flow from a by pass. Even the standard fan does not have enough. +200 cfm works much better.

Bear Rules: Keep our home <50% RH summer, controls mites/mold and very comfortable.
Provide 60-100 cfm of fresh air when occupied to purge indoor pollutants and keep window dry during cold weather. T-stat setup/setback +8 hrs. saves energy
Use +Merv 10 air filter. -Don't forget the "Golden Rule"
