Invisible moisture
This Vicks Filtered Cool Moisture Humidifier is an evaporative humidifier.
• Evaporative humidification means you will
NOT
see the
moisture output.
• With evaporative humidification, a fan pulls dry air from the
room through the saturated Wicking Filter. Moisture from the
Wicking Filter evaporates and is pushed into the room with the
help of the fan.
• Evaporative humidification adjusts moisture output to the
amount of moisture the air can hold. The drier (less humid) the
air in the room, the more moisture the humidifier will add to
the air. An evaporative humidifier cannot add more moisture to
the room than the air can hold. The amount of moisture the air
can hold depends on many factors including relative humidity
level, temperature and size of room.
A Wicking Filter inside the humidifier absorbs water from the reservoir. A fan pulls dry air from the
room into the humidifier where it passes through the saturated Wicking Filter. The filter captures
minerals and other impurities from the water, before the moisture is evaporated back into the dry
room with the help of the fan. The amount of moisture output depends on many factors, including
the current room humidity and temperature. As the humidity level in the room increases, the moisture
output decreases, which prevents over humidification.
