Question	Answer

Can I add water treatments to this humidifier?	You should only add water treatments to your
	humidifier that are specifically made for
	evaporative humidifiers such as the ProtecTM Anti-
	microbial Cleaning Cartridge, model PC-1 or PC-2.
	Using water treatments that are not recommended
	for evaporative humidifiers could damage your
	humidifier. If you are concerned about hard water
	it is recommended you use distilled water in your
	humidifier.

Can I run my humidifier without filters?	No, your humidifier will not operate properly without
	filters. The filters absorb the moisture distributed
	by the water flow channel. A quiet fan then blows
	through the filters distributing moisture into the air.

How often should I change my wicking filters?	In general the wicking filters will last 1-2 month
	depending on water quality and usage. See Filter
	Replacement section for information on how to
	determine when it is time to change the filters.
