INTRODUCTION
Your Essick Air evaporative humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by
moving dry inlet air through a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the
water evaporates into the air, leaving behind any white dust, minerals, or dissolved
and suspended solids. Because the water is evaporated, there is just clean and
invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at the
beginning of every season. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may
be necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.
Use only Essick Air brand replacement wicks and chemicals. To order parts, wicks
and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888. The D46 720 humidifier uses two (2) Essick
Air wicks # 1040 (twin pack). Only the Essick Air evaporative wick guarantees the
certified output of your humidifier. Use of wicks other than Essick Air brand will void
your warranty as well as the certification of output and may reduce the output of
your humidifier.
How Your Humidifier Works
Dry air is drawn into the humidifier through the back and moisturized as it passes
through the evaporative wick. It is then fanned out into the room.
