              Answer This Question

              A:  Hello, Dragoon1234! This humidifier is a wicking evaporative humidifier, it does not emit a mist, so therefore you will not have any issues with white dust and buildup on surrounding furniture. If you have any other questions or concerns about how our products work, please email us at info@essickair.com. -Melissa, AIRCARE

                A:  Hello! Try wetting your wick at the sink, this should help start the absorption process. If your wick is clogged or dirty, we recommend that you change it out for a new one. If you have any other questions or concerns, please email us at info@essickair.com. -Melissa, AIRCARE

                  A:  No, the water you use will not stop the drying of the wick.

                    A:  If your water conditioner leaves salt in the water, it is salt stiffening your wicks. Distilled water should help, but it will cost.

                      A:  Hello, Richard! The filter will sometimes dry out at the top if you run the unit frequently on high speed. Try flipping the wick when this happens or prewetting it at the sink; if this issue happens after a month's use, you may consider changing out the wick for a new one. We recommend changing your wick every 30 to 60 days. If you have any other concerns or questions about your wick filter, please email us at info@essickair.com or you may contact our call center at 1-800-547-3888, Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 5:30 Central Standard Time. -Melissa, AIRCARE
