Installation Instructions - HoMedics TOTALCOMFORT UHE-WM130 Instruction Manual

ABOUT WHITE DUST
Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the
room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called "white dust." The higher the mineral content
(or, the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in
the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals suspended in the water.
HOW AND WHY TO USE DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGES
The HoMedics Demineralization Cartridge will help reduce the potential for white dust. The cartridge should be
replaced every 30–40 fillings. The cartridge may need to be replaced more often if you are using very hard water.
Replace the cartridge when you notice an increase in white dust buildup. If white dust still forms around the
humidifier after a new cartridge has been installed, consider using distilled water.
If you live in an area with hard water or use a water softener, we recommend using distilled water
for better results from your humidifier. NEVER use water-softening additives in your humidifier.
