™ COOL MOISTURE SYSTEM:

Dry air is pulled through the humidifier and the QuietCare™ fan blows out invisible, moisture-balanced air. Unwanted minerals and bacteria from the water are trapped inside the filter. When the unit is running you WILL NOT see or feel a “mist”. You will know your humidifier is putting moisture into the air as you watch the water level in your tank decrease throughout the day.

Your new QuietCare™ humidifier has double Protec™ Product Protection with the exclusive Protec™ Cleaning Cartridge and Protec™ treated filter.

Protec™ Cleaning Cartridge: Your humidifier has been designed with the Protec™ Cleaning Cartridge. This unique cartridge features an advanced patented media which continually inhibits the growth of odor- causing bacteria and mold in the cartridge as well as prevents the buildup of minerals in your humidifier. In addition, the Protec™ cartridge provides peace of mind that the mist is fresh and clean*.

Protec™ Antimicrobial Treated Filter: Your filter has been treated with Protec™ antimicrobial which helps prevent surface growth and migration of mold, mildew, algae, fungus and odor-causing bacteria in the filter for its life – approximately 1-3 months**. Keep in mind, depending on your water quality, mineral deposits can still clog or discolor the filter, affecting its life and that of the humidifier.

Air Washing Technology: Unique air washing system which helps “wash the air as it humidifies.”

The unique pre-filter in combination with an ionizer helps capture dust, dirt, and pollen while freshening the air. (HCM-631 Series and HCM-632 Series only)

*The Protec Cleaning Cartridge is antimicrobially treated to help prevent the growth of mold, fungus, algae and odor-causing bacteria on the cartridge only. It is not intended nor does it act to provide any pesticidal effect to mold, fungus, algae or odor-causing bacteria in the humidifier or humidifier water.

**The antimicrobial agent contained in this product is intended to prolong filter life only by inhibiting the growth of unsightly mold, mildew and algae, as well as controlling odor from odor-causing bacteria. The antimicrobial filter does not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs or other disease-causing organisms. Always follow the humidifier manufacturer's instructions regarding cleaning, maintenance and servicing of your humidifier.
