FILTERS Does this humidifier need replacement of filters?

I don't own this, but one of the reviews posted here says no filters are required. Thought that might help you.

No. A new HEPA filter should be purchased when old one needs to be replaced.

No, you don't need any parts. Your humidifier came with these filters in a plastic casing. Just remove the old filter and put the new one in. It is easy.

According to the owner's manual, the filter does not need to be replaced; it is reusable. The filter can be cleaned with warm water, but if it has a thick layer of lint/dust/whatever, I would suggest gently scraping that off with a toothbrush or something similar before cleaning it with water.

I haven't had to replace mine as yet (just got it last week). But I will check Amazon for pre-filter and filter. I just checked and Amazon carries the filters for $33.

I replace mine once a month. You could probably go a bit longer if you don't have hard water and if you clean the humidifier once a week as recommended. I do a thorough clean only once a month and replace the filter at that time since it gets all gunky from both the dust it sucks in and the hard water build-up.

Hi- they take filters and they need to be replaced every 2-3 months depending on usage.They are currently out of stock, but they are also sold on Amazon. They will be back in stock on 06/05/2015 on Amazon.

Very simple. Remove the used filter by sliding it off and slip the new one on. If I am going to use the humidifier immediately, I usually soak the new filter in water before putting it on. That way, the humidifier is ready to go. Be sure to fill the water reservoir with fresh clean water. If your water is particularly hard, you might want to add a softening solution, such as "Golden Solution Water treatment". This is available at Amazon.com.

Yes it does. The filter is on the back of the heater, just remove it, clean it and put it back in place. No need for replacement filters!

After removing the water tank, there is a plastic lock that turns 90 degrees, and the whole top piece comes off the base. This is how you replace the filters, I will usually scrub the inside of the tower every other filter change. Use water treatment designed for these humidifiers and you'll rarely have to clean anything.

Is the tank full? If yes, it is time to change the water filter. To troubleshoot: remove the water filter (it unscrews from the tank lid) and try without the filter. If it works fine the filter is clogged and needs to be replaced. These filters become slower with time and after a few months of heavy use they don't let through enough water to keep up with the needs of the humidifier. This year, I had two of those filters be bad right out of the package (they did not let through enough water even when new) and I had to exchange them for new ones (thanks Amazon for making this so easy!). By the way: it is perfectly fine to operate the humidifier without the filter, at least temporarily, but there is more white dust on all surfaces when there is no filter installed and the silver ions in the filter keep the tank from getting all slimy and stinky.

I haven't yet had to replace the filter. I don't use it that much. My filter is a permanent filter and I just empty it in the trash when I use it.

No, you don't technically have to wash the filter, but when I unscrew it every day to rinse and fill up the humidifier tank, I rinse off the filter. You should carefully read the instructions on the box as to the lifespan of the filter, though. I change my filters out every month. (I can't recall how often they say to change them, but I think it's about 1 month.)

Yes this humidifier needs water to work. Also you may add 1 drop of oil per fill. And replace the filter every 2-3 months with a FILTRWIX sold in amazon

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!

There are no filters to replace.. But I believe you can still get one just to improve the quality of the vapor and make it cleaner.
