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.
b) Wood, leather, carpet, curtains, and other types of
fabric soak up a lot of moisture, thus not leaving
enough moisture for the air. If the window is left
open, then this allows moisture to escape the room.
Another 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
my window?
A. The moisture level within the outside air is not high
enough to humidify a room. The colder the air the less
moisture it is capable to hold, and the more the air is
heated up the percentage of relative humidity is lower.
Relative humidity means the amount of water vapor in
the air, compared to the amount the air could hold if it
was totally saturated. The difference is higher between
outside and inside temperatures; more humidification
is needed because of the dry air in the room.
Q. Where should I place my humidifier?
A. The unit should be free-standing and not close to a
wall, window, door, or thermal bridge so that air may
circulate around the unit.
Ultrasonic Frequent Questions
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. Is it ok to use distilled water with the unit?
A. For best results with your ultrasonic humidifier use
distilled or reverse-osmosis water.
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
surrounding the unit may become damp. If the unit is
placed at least 3 feet off the floor, the mist will have the
opportunity to evaporate before hitting the floor.
Q. Water does not go into the tank.
A. In order to fill the tank, it must be turned upside down.
The cartridge is placed on the water tank cap. Do not
pour water in the tube which is the mist outlet.
Q. White dust is emitted from the unit
A. White dust particles are minerals that are broken up in
tiny pieces by the ultrasonic process.
Solve the problem:
• Don't use water from a pre-installed water softener,
or sodium instead of calcium will be emitted from the
unit. Use distilled water instead.
• For very hard water areas use only distilled water.
• Use Reverse-Osmosis water (R-O water) instead of
distilled water.
• Replace A250 filter
Q. Humidity level is not changing or does not reach
the desired humidity level.
A. If the water tank needs refilling more than once per
day, the unit is working properly and the climatic
condition in the room has an influence on the humidity.
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
the room counts but also the height) – high-rise build-
ings require more humidification.
• open windows – works similar to air circulation (if it is
very cold outside don't open the window more than
2 times per day for 3 minutes)
• big difference between outside temperature and inside
temperature – the colder the air the less moisture it
is capable to hold and the more the air is heated up
the lower is the percentage of relative humidity (=the
amount of water vapor in the air, compared to the
amount the air could hold if it was totally saturated)
• position of the unit - if it is placed close to a door,
window or air vent. This increases the air circulation.
