Questions & Answers

What should I do if I just bought a new device and 3 hours later the filter is brown/tan? Also, I'm using distilled water, is that right?

What kind of water do you use? Distilled or purified? It is most likely a harmless byproduct of minerals in your water that gives wicks a brown hue. It can help break down those minerals by adding a little vinegar to your humidifier's water. The minerals in purified water may still be present, but distilled water is usually devoid of minerals. It might be a good idea to add a little vinegar to the purified water to see if it helps the discoloration (again, it is We encourage you to give us a call if you are, indeed, using distilled water 800-827-3762 It is 547.

What should I do if the wick needs to be replaced?

Put the humidifier in the sink and run it You must remove the top of the frame, after which you can remove the bottom. Take down the old Wick and replace it with a new one, then attach the frame to the new Wick. If you are using water, you can fill it up with whatever you desire. The top will fit better now that you have put it back on. Turn on the power and plug it in

Does the Essick Humidifier Model #82100 fit any filters?

In order to use the 821 000, you will need the 1043 wick (filter). Christy, thank you for your kind words At AIRCARE Products, customers are always our number one priority

BE A STRONGER ONE! Moisture is easily dispersed into the air through this wick
3/5

One 6-pack and one 4-pack of these I have It's designed to work with gallon-sized humidifiers, and they keep my two-gallon humidifiers in good condition An old leaky HVAC system continuously draws in some cold, dry outside air to keep up with the heat all winter long, even though the apartment is on the first floor. When wet, the same properties that make this wick so effective also cause it to become too weak to support its own weight. The solution proposed by Essick was to replace the wick material with corrugated material and reinforce it with horizontal tufts of hot-air. There's glue, but it doesn't do the trick. A whole wick will collapse under the pressure of its own weight after only two months and will be The use of cardboard strips interspersed with wick material would be very effective, as it is with wicks used in other In the meantime, I reinforced a replacement wick with hot glue beads and placed it around another wick A horizontal bead of hot glue and a glue stick The edges at the top and bottom should be glued. My review will be updated in a few months once I receive feedback on its effectiveness. Essick Air does not have to make stronger wicks, but maybe the solution they come up with will give them something they can use in the factory as a workaround.

As of now, filter no longer comes packaged
3/5

This filter has been part of my daily routine for many years - During the winter months, it is replaced almost every month. The filter works well, but I don't want my family to breathe in chemicals that you can add to the water to suppress mold and mineral buildup, so I replace it frequently. A new one arrived unwrapped in a cardboard box after I ordered it. The product was returned to me because I believed it to be unsafe. Home Depot is where I will have to purchase them from now on. For this reason, I took two stars off the rating.

Excellent filter that usually lasts for a long time
5/5

The effect lasts for a long time. Exactly what we were looking for. this year, as well, and expected The amount per gallon recommended by the EPA is 5x more than that. As a result, the filter becomes discolored, but the tank remains clean. rinsed the filter three times last year about a month apart, and it held together well during each rinse. I used a 10 even though it was not recommended In my utility sink, I submerged the filter in one solution of water plus bleach and put it in ice cold water Over time, cat fur is pulled in and this made a ton of crap loose and easy to move.

If you are able, filter out the noise
4/5

For what it is, it is surprisingly expensive however, it works fine.

To keep pet hair and dander from gathering in, we cut down spun poly-fiber rope to a size that reaches the filter. Take the blue gossamer air filters (which are made of spun nylon or some other kind of plastic) and put them inside the humidifier to catch most of the dust. A high level of effectiveness.

I bought this filter on June 1 of this year and it did not last
3/5

All the right products are available to use with my Currently, there is an overwhelming odor of dead fish, and this isn't the first time. Other brands cost less and lasted longer. I bought another brand that didn't have any Sadly, this humidifier is no longer available with these filters. I feel like I'm ready to buy a humidifier at this point.

The time frame was less than three Essick humidifiers have been in my home for several years, and I have found them to be reliable
3/5

Throughout the year, I simply replace the wick. November 2016 was the first time I started the humidifier and installed a new wick. The water started to evaporate by January and the machine ceased to function. I found the wick hard and dry above the water line when I removed it. *UPDATE - I'm going to try one more and will then start searching for an alternative. In January, we ordered a new wick, which we installed, and in March, it stopped soaking up water. am not sure what changed in these filters, but the new ones are horrible. A better alternative is sought.

A durable product- and a good investment Definitely a step in the right direction! Prior to this, I have gotten two seasons out of them, and then replaced them as they were a bit funky by then and were not as wicking as they used to be
3/5

However, this one has expired in the middle of the year Since it lasted only about two thirds of the season (no wicking at all), it lasted only a couple of months. In a last ditch effort, I flipped the filter to see if it would wick better, but I had no real idea what had changed. Despite the fact that we are close to the end of the season. However, as soon as I pulled it out, the paper on the sides was still stuck to the My Essick humidifier has been in use for eight seasons, and that is the first time it has gone out on me.

I find these filters to be quite useful
3/5

My humidifier fits perfectly with them. I find these filters to be quite useful. My humidifier fits perfectly with them. The rating I gave was so low, can you tell me why? There is a price increase to $18 now. The 65th! Is that true? I have noticed that the price of one has gone steadily up every time I buy one. There is a cheaper option other than Amazon for them. I'd never use Amazon for swamp coolers again, and I may have to make the cut myself if it comes to that, but I won't tolerate constantly inflated prices. My cable company sends me enough of that too, so I gave it up too.
