OPTIONAL AIRCARE® FILTER -1051

The first stage of the air filter is a, high-efficiency, electrostatically charged filter media which traps dust, pollen, and airborne pollutants. The second stage of the AirCare filter is an activated carbon media which absorbs odors from cooking, pets, or tobacco smoke. We recommend replacing the AirCare filter at least once a year and more often if necessary. When the white filter media is coated with a layer of dust and dirt, it is time to replace the AirCare filter. The certified water out output of your humidifier will be reduced when using the AirCare filter. AirCare filters are optional and are not required for normal operation of the humidifier. AirCare is a registered trademark of Essick Air Products.
