How do you refill this humidifier?

Pull up on the handle on the right side of the humidifier and take it to the faucet and fill it from the bottom.

I use it instead of the little round one that came with it. I like the drymistat humidifier a lot, because I can tell at a glance when it needs more water. I just use plain tap water in it.

There are two separate tanks that you flip upside down, unscrew the water tight caps, and fill the tanks. It is a bit awkward because the top side has a handle to pick it up, so when it is upside down you don't have a flat surface. It sits at an angle that you have to stabilize while filling in the sink. With that said, this is the best humidifier I have purchased. It has consistent output and you don't have to refill every day unless you are running it on high.

Go to http://www.essickair.com/products/humidifiers/category/whole-house/697-500/ That is the company that makes this. They have a link on the right hand side of the page as you scroll down that says owners manual.

To refill there is a large screw plug in the bottom. Easy access, easy to remove and replace. Hope this helps.

The water container has a lid, that has a tab on it. You unscrew the lid, then fill it full of water. You then screw the lid back on, making sure the tab is pushed down closed, on the lid. Then you turn it upside down, put it in the container, once it's set in, you open the tab and the water will fill the reservior.

Unfortunately, while this is a decent humidifier, what you mentioned is an annoying problem with it. I have bought two and have the same problem.

Unfortunately you can not refill it. You have to buy another one. But trust me, the thing works like a charm!

The humidifier does not come with a bottle and you do not need to buy a special bottle -- any 20oz water or soda bottle will work.

There's a button on the side of the lid. You push the button in and the TOP of the lid pops open and then you can lift the diffuser out to fill. Would have been much simpler if the instructions were on the outside rather than in the diffuser where they can't be accessed until you figure it out!

Now I am getting a little confused myself. I found out that there are other FPA models that provide a humidifier function too... Sorry, not much help.

It is the type of humidifiers you either soak in distilled water or humi fluid. It's kinda like that floral sponge meteral

After my response to you I watched two youtube videos on refilling it as suggested by another post to you, using regular water. It can be done and it looks easy enough to do.

There is an on and off switch next to where the cord goes into the humidifier. I hope this is helpful .

Youl fill it from a small butane type Canister which usually comes with the unit. Refill canisters are available at most pet stores

I used an essential eucalyptus oil in it. Not more than half a dropper worth, but it was enough to basically corrode the plastic on the inside of the humidifier. This was my fault! Not at all blaming this otherwise stupendous product, as I just bought a replacement, but I essentially (pun?) wrecked my previous one. Learn from my mistake.
