Replacing the Wick
Through normal use, waterborne minerals and sediment
become trapped in the wick filter. The harder your water,
the greater amount of minerals in the water, and the more
often you will need to change your wick filter. Using the
Filter Monitor located on the top grill, you will be able to
check the life of the wick filter in your humidifier. When the
unit is turned off the Filter Monitor needle will read
“change”. After the needle reads change for 60 minutes,
the filter replacement is recommended. Regular filter
replacement is necessary to ensure optimal humidifier
performance.
