I'm lazy and prefer to do humidifier maintenance every week or 10 days, is there one with a bigger sponge or that holds water longer?

I don't find it easy to fill as there is no handle to transport it to and from the sink. It is a bit cumbersome to hold while carrying a full tank back to its base. My other humidifier is : Sharper Image EV-HD10 Humidifer, Ultra Sonic. I love the design and ease of this humidifier. Only problem is....it started making an odd noise 1 year after I purchased it and now that it is 2 years old it is making an even louder noise, but it still works.

You don't want to restrict water flow on a humidifier. It's an all-or-nothing thing. Either it runs or it doesn't, which ie controlled by the hUmidistat. Even at full-bore though it uses very little water. Mine had to be drained into the sump well for lack of a nearby drain and it's never been anywhere close to enough to kick on. I'd guess a typical cycle uses less than a glass of water judging from the trickle I've observed in the clear drainage tube

It is the type of humidifiers you either soak in distilled water or humi fluid.It's kinda like that floral sponge meteralit depends on if your using distilled water or Glycol Solution but every couple weeks or when it starts to dry out (depends on how well the humidor was seasoned)id recommend getting a digital hygrometer and getting 72% boveda humi-packs (only have to change them out every two months or so)do some looking in to them they work great for me.

Hi Joe,No need to use the humidifier that came with your humidor if you are using DryMistat tube/s.Enjoy!

I've tried one other similar style and went back to this one. True, the foam part does not last a very long time, but I still like this sponge. It rinses very clean so I don't need to run it through the dishwasher, that might help to make it last longer. I always buy a bunch, and it pays to shop around. Amazon has good deals but last order went to Target. (Luckily, before the hacking incident)

Distilled water may lengthen the life of a filter (or may not - I'm not a scientist), but to quote that famous philosopher, George Harrison, "All things must pass". But the filter will last a few months I believe, if you take it out about every week and rinse off the brown mineral stuff, and turn it upside down when replacing it. Also, the Vicks humidifiers you see in many drug and department stores use the same filter (Protec WF2), and they're only about $7-$8.

String tension will hold it but sponge must not be saturated to avoid drips. If sponge is dry after three days you probably need one with sound-hole cover and tubing. Those have humidity indicators. Avoid vertical storage when using these. Large collection, easier to close room with humidifier. 40% works.

Out of all the different humidifiers I've purchased, this one has been the easiest. It is cone shaped & doesn't rest on it's own surface, it has to be held. The top cone is simply removed, and so the water reservoir is easily separated from the base. The water reservoir has a plastic element that keeps from resting on it's on when turned over to fill it.

I use in my Vick's cool mist humidifier that is filterless. I drop in the water tank. No problem with dropping in or removing to change.Can always call the manufacturer to check too.

You can reasonably expect for this to humidify a gallon or less space. The larger the space, the quicker the water inside will be consumed. I keep tubes of my material to be humidified into sandwich bags each with a pack, and those into a big Tupperware with one additional pack. Works very well.

Thanks. How do u like it so far. It seems rather expensive if u have to replace a wick every couple of weeks. Would you recommend this humidifie? And thank you for the information.

This is a self-contained filter. The humidifier I have, you just drop the filter in the tank, fill the tank with water, set the tank on the base, and turn on the humidifier.The filter only helps to keep the water clean; you have to turn the humidifier ON to get the humidifying effect.You can use one filter for about 30 days, then you toss it and start over with a new one.

It would first depend on the square footage of your home. Either way I would not suggest this one. I would go back to a console and haul a bucket of water versus taking one or two containers provided to fill the humidifier up every morning. When you decide on one (larger version) you will notice a big change of moist air in your home.

We have used this Humidifier for about 6 Month and use it often but not every day, we use distilled water and so far see no reasonto clean it, it works really well. Hope this will help

You can add a water drip line combined with daily timer. A little bit of effort but you will be good to go for a long long vacation.
