General Humidifier Questions
Q.Why isn’t there enough moisture in my room?
A. Howoftendoyouruntheunit?Iftheunitisonlyrunat
night,thenduringthedaythemoisturelevelwilldropif
moistureisnotconstantlyaddedtotheair.
Q.Do you leave your door open or closed when the
unit is running?
A. a) Byleavingthedooropen,thisallowsmoistureto
leavetheroomandgointootherareasofthehouse.
Ifyouwouldlikethemoisturetostaywithinone
specificroomyoushouldconsiderclosingthedoor
whiletheunitisrunning.

oughmoisturefortheair.Ifthewindowisleftopen,
thenthisallowsmoisturetoescapetheroom.Ano-
therfactorisalotoftimestheunitisplacednextto
aheatingdevice.Theideaisthattheairblowing
intotheroomwillquicklyplacemoisturearoundthe
room.Unfortunately,thisconceptdoesnotwork
becausethehotaircomingoutofaventwillsoak
upmostofthemoisture,andnoneoftheairwithin
theroomwillreceiveany.
Q.How much moisture do I need in my room?
A. Suggestedhumiditylevelsarebetween40–60%.
Q.What are the effects of too little or too much
humidity?
A. Dryaircancausedryskin,staticelectricity,outoftune
musicalinstruments,increasedlevelsofdust(dryair
causesdusttorise),damagetowoodenobjects
(dryoutandeventuallycracksappear),discomfort,
sickness,anddriesoutnasalmembranes.
Over-humidifyingtheaircancausemoldandwallpaper
topeel.
Q.Why do I need a humidifier when I can just open

Q.I just replaced my cartridge, and the contents and
water in the base has turned a blue-green color.
A. Thissometimesoccurswhenthecartridge,oreven
thegranules,arereplaced.Thisdoesnotoccurwithall
replacementcartridgesorgranules,andisareactionof

anindicatortoreplacethecartridge.
Q.There is no fill-line on the water tank, how far
may I fill it up?
A. Thereisnofilllineonthewatertank,anditmaybe
filledallthewaytothetop.
Q.What is the purpose of the demineralization
cartridge (DMC)?
A.TheDMCremovesmineralsfromthewatertoprevent
whitedust.Thecontentsofthecartridgeneedtobe
soakedfor24hrspriortofirstusingtheunitsothatthey
mayfullyexpandandremovemineralsfromthewater.
ThecontentsoftheDMChavealifeof2–3months.

distilledorreverse-osmosiswaterandremovethe
demineralizationcartridge.
Q.I just replaced the contents of the cartridge and
now have granules everywhere.
A. First,makesuretherearenogranulesinthemiddle
ofthecartridge.Placinggranulesinthemiddleofthe
DMCallowsthemtoescapeintheunit.Immediately

Q. The directions tell me not to place the unit directly
on the floor, why do I have to elevate the unit?
A.Theideawiththisunitistoallowonetoforcehumidity
intotheair.Becauseofthis,thecarpetingorwoodfloor

Q. White dust is emitted from the unit
A.Whitedustparticlesaremineralsthatarebrokenupin

Q.Humidity level is not changing or does not reach
the desired humidity level.

Reasons for low humidity level:
•aircirculationisveryhigh(airisfullyexchanged
severaltimesperday–thehumidifierneedstostarts
itsworkfromscratch)
•insulationofhome(seeaircirculation)
•openspacewithhighceilings(notonlythefootageof
