Frequently Asked Questions
Question
• What are the variables that
affect run time?

water tank?

average room conditions. The actual run time of your
humidifier is dependent on numerous variables such as:
✔ Air exchange in the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Room construction of the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Temperature of the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Humidity levels in the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of
doors in the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Home furnishings in the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ See Daily Maintenance instructions. Regular cleaning is
recommended.
✔ Run your unit on the lowest setting.
✔ If your unit has electronics, set it to your desired humidity
level. The unit will turn on and off, which will extend the run
time.
✔ Fill the tank all the way full, place it on the base, let the
water empty into the base until it stops bubbling, then refill
he tank full again. This ensures maximum water capacity
and will extend run time.
