An envelope handling device including a moistener module where the moistener module includes a reservoir assembly, a first well tank and a second well tank. The reservoir assembly includes a reservoir tank for holding a supply of reservoir water having a predetermined height; a first well tank for holding a supply of first well water, the first well tank directly coupled to the reservoir tank via a first well tank hose so that the reservoir water is capable of flowing through the first well tank hose to the first well tank and raising the first well water to the predetermined height; and a second well tank for holding a supply of second well water at a different height from the predetermined height, the second well tank coupled to the reservoir tank via a second well tank hose and a trap, the trap establishes a pressure differential between the predetermined height and a level of water within the trap; and wherein the reservoir water is capable of flowing through the second well tank hose and the trap to the second well tank and raising the second well water to the different height as air is captured within the trap to balance the pressure differential.
