Introduction
Your Bemis by Essick Air evaporative humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by moving dry inlet air through a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the water evaporates into the air, leaving behind any white dust, minerals or dissolved and suspended solids. Because the water is evaporated, there is no messy mist or spray and no white dust, just clean and invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at least once a year, preferably disposing of the used one at the end of the humidifying season and starting with a new one at the beginning of the next humidifying season. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may be necessary to maintain your humidifier's efficiency.
