Kaz Wf2 Wicking Filter Mist

Review: Tips to extend the life of the filter by 500% - Here's a few tricks to make your filter last longer. Like other readers the water in my area is high in hard mineral content as well as dust since I live in a desert climate. I'm dependent on running the filter 24/7 since I work at home. Without the humidifier my sinuses dry up quickly and become painful. After using the humidifier for a year now I've found that the filter 'dries' up quickly and fails to adequately work after a couple weeks of daily 24/7 use. Dirt, dust and mold also accelerate it's degeneration. Here's how I've addressed these problems: 1. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the tank each time you fill it up. I use apple cider vinegar but white vinegar works just as well. Combine this with adding the Protec Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridge to the tank. The vinegar extends the life of the cartridge from 30 days to 6 months. Using both together significantly decreases the build up of mold. 2. On a weekly basis remove the water on the bottom of the filter basin because it fills up quickly with moldy dirty water. Fill the basin with a half inch of clean water and add one teaspoon of vinegar. Scrub the filter basin clean at least twice a month or more if needed. 3. With each tank reservoir fill up reverse the filter so that the water at the bottom of the filter now becomes the top of the filter and it will trickle down moistening the filter. If the filter is dry it will cease to activate the humidifier process. You will know this when seeing the water level remaining the same versus steadily dropping. 4. At the end of two weeks, since I use it daily 24/7, I wash the filter out with warm water. The instructions say you aren't supposed to do this but if you don't you will have a load of dust and dirt on the filter that makes it decompose. I also install the filter so that the opposite of the filter now faces the air induction vents. If you combine these recommendations you should have a sturdy filter that works efficiently and sustains its structural integrity for at least 6 months.
Review: great! - maybe i'm cheap... but i find these filters to be very expensive. my solution to this was to buy the three pack on desertcart.. (hooray!) and cut them in half to fit into the humidifier! so i got 6 filters instead of 3.. go me! that said, the humidifier pumps through more water into the air than with the full filter and it still does it's job. :) i read on many reviews that they mold easy, and they do. but someone else had stated to let the humidifier run dry for a few hours and the mold will not grow, or will grow significantly slower. this works! so, as a recap: i'm thrilled with this filter, i'm cheap and cut them in half, and so long as you run the humidifier for a day or however long you need to after to dry the filter out.. it wont mold!. yes, product recommended and for the price.. buy on desertcart!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Filter
*by O***E on February 23, 2010*

I purchased this filter for my Vicks V3100 home humidifier. I regularly performed operational maintenance on my humidifier, including washing the filter. Despite the maintenance the filter slowly became discolored from the natural pollutants and minerals contained in my water. The Protec Extended Life Humidifier Filter helped solve my problem. It is inexpensive and effective only if I carefully care for the filter. To avoid frequently replacing the filter, I use a procedure that can extend the life of the filter. When the filter forms a crust, I soak it for awhile in vinegar water (usually 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water). After soaking I carefully rinse the filter several times in fresh water. Then I treat the water with Kaz KWT-8 Humidifier and Vaporizer Water Treatment. So, after several months, I no longer have a problem with the filter or my humidifier. I recommend this filter
