General Humidifier Questions Q. Why isn’t there enough moisture in my room? A. How often do you run the unit? If the unit is only run at night, then during the day the moisture level will drop if moisture is not constantly added to the air. A. Do you leave your door open or closed when the unit is running? a. By leaving the door open, this allows moisture to leave the room and go into other areas of the house. If you would like the moisture to stay within one specific room you should consider closing the door while the unit is running. b. Wood, leather, carpet, curtains, and other types of fabric soak up a lot of moisture, thus not leaving enough moisture for the air. If the window is left open, then this allows moisture to escape the room. Another factor is a lot of times the unit is placed next to a heating device. The idea is that the air blowing into the room will quik...

is used. An indication of when the DMC needs to be changed can be white dust or reduced amount of mist output. Q. Is it ok to use distilled water with the unit? A. Yes, it is fine to use distilled water with the unit. If distilled water is used, it will prolong the life of the DMC. Q. I just replaced the contents of the cartridge and now have granules everywhere. A. First, make sure there are no granules in the middle of the cartridge. Placing granules in the middle of the DMC allows them to escape everywhere. Immedia tely turn off the unit, and empty the water out of the base and the water tank. Begin removing all granules from base and water tank. Use brush to clean around membrane. For refilling the DMC, wad a piece of paper or paper towel and place in the middle of the DMC. For placing granules in the cartridge, a suggestion is to use a spoon so that no granules get in the middle of the cartridge.
