Your water may have a high mineral content. Please be sure to always have water in the unit to prevent the filter from drying. Also, we recommend changing the wick filter every 4 weeks.

The new filters are the first ones I have purchased. I've had no issues with them.

Put the foam side towards the back of the filter holder. The fabric side should be facing you as you look at it. Hope this helped you.

I believe mine came in a brand new box...it was a while ago. Don't remember a brown box. *You may have to get it in "standard packaging" instead of "frustration-free" if you don't want the brown box.

You really need to replace it. It will turn grey/black with dirt. As a maintenance factor you can rinse the removable filter that covers it but when it significantly changes color, you need a new one.

Make sure filter is installed correctly and is clean. Call Hoover customer service if that does not help. I have had no problems at all.

That's how my tablet arrived as well was in the same brown box. Its new, but tested by the company to make sure its working properly. Also mine had the clear protection new cover thing on it to show it was new.

The filters are almost 2mm think. Seems they are dyed (I tried to "peel" it to check, by scratching my nail on its corners).

I got a new one. I did not like the filter it came with so I got a dealer filter.

Sand is either to high in the filter, to much sand, or the tube inside the filter isnt seated correctly or possibly damaged. But it needs to be in the filter possision

Carol- I do think that there is a misprint. When I got my composter it came with one extra replacement filter and it looks just like the 7320 filter. Hope this helps

I received the white colored filter that was pictured and it works great. I would contact the seller and see if there is something they can do to help you out.

There is no indicator that the filter is outdated, but it gets darker in color. It can be washed and reused, but I do not know how this impacts its effectiveness.

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.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

Yes, there is s little indicator on the top that shows green for new filters and as it gets older it changes to red.
