Calgary has very low humidity, so in the winter I need it open (the summer setting) yet I should use the control switch to lower the relative humidity, since moisture against glass will fog up and create ice. In the summer, I want it to humidify at full blast, yet the summer setting appears to close the system down 100%. What is going on here?

I want more humidity, so what do I do?

Most climates, there is enough humidity in the summer, so the summer setting cuts off the water supply to the humidifier. If you want more humidity, turn the setting to winter.
