It is recommended you change your Wicking Filter every 30-60 days
depending on water quality and usage. If you have hard water you may
need to replace your filter more frequently.
Change your filter if you notice:
• The filter is hard and crusty
• The filter starts to give off an odor
• Moisture output is decreased
Be sure to only use Protec Replacement filters. This humidifier takes Protec PWF2
Replacement Filter. The filter is antimicrobially treated and helps prevent the growth
and migration of mold, algae and bacteria on the filter.
To prolong the life of your Wicking Filter, turn it over each time you fill the Water
Tank. This will keep the top of the filter from drying out and will help the filter to age
more evenly.
If you notice the filter getting hard, you may soak the Wicking Filter in cool water to loosen mineral
buildup. This will temporarily improve the performance until a replacement filter is purchased.
DO NOT
attempt to clean the Wicking Filter with vinegar or any chemical solutions. Doing so may
damage the Filter.
NOTE:
Running the humidifier without water in the Tank or Removable Tray will help dry out Wicking
Filter quickly for short term storage.
Protec antimicrobial layers in the Wicking Filter help to prevent growth of mold on the filter. However,
the filter still needs to be replaced regularly. Humidifier filters and accessories require replacement
and are not covered under warranty.
