Maintenance Instructions
How Water Hardness Affects Maintenance
Your humidifier will accumulate minerals such as calcium and lime after operating for a short period. (Accumulation of minerals is a sure sign the humidifier is producing humidity.) The amount of accumulation depends on the hardness of the water supply in your area. Therefore, the amount of time between cleanings is unpredictable.
To determine if your humidifier pad needs cleaned or replaced, look to see if the openings in the pad are caked with minerals.
CAUTION: Excessive buildup of minerals is detrimental to the humidifier’s internal parts as well as to the evaporative process. Refer to the maintenance instructions below to achieve years of efficient performance from your Skuttle
