Is the humidifier supposed to have water in the base part?
907686
Yes. The water flows from the reservoir into the base where it's wicked up by two evaporative pads (inside the housing). The air flowing over these pads becomes humidified and exits the top of the unit.
907687
Yes. After filling the tank and inserting it into the base, water will fill the base.

white dust is probably referring to mineral deposits, if this is the case then it's the fact that you have hard water that causes this and not the humidifier.

There is not supposed to be any dirty water left. All the water is supposed to be evaporated. However, the water does not evaporate and you will not get any humedity from this machine. It does not clean the air either because after a week, there was nothing in the water showing dirt. We returned ours. You are better off buying a humidifier from someplace like Costco, ec. This machine does not work.

inspect wiring for damage,make sure it didnt pull wire off of humidistat,and if water line isnt kinked or broken it should be okay

You should not have water around the unit. It could be you are positioning the mist into the indentation in the top that is then overflowing. Other than that I would say your unit is malfunctioning. Good luck.

I think that info should be in the instructions the humidifier came with. Im sorry. Our filter does not need changing yet.

Not much water. Then again, no moisture comes out of the thing so if I were you I WOULD NOT BUY this product. Walgreens has awesome humidifiers that don't cost an arm and a leg.

This is what the manufacturer says on their FAQ's about the white dust: Why is there white dust on my furniture? If water is especially hard or has a high mineral content, you may notice white dust around the unit. White dust is not a problem it is from the minerals in the water that form the dust. The humidifier evaporates the water and then the white dust is left in the unit, not sent out into the air. If bothersome, use distilled water or you can purchase one of our Decalcification Filters (FLTDC) to help with the problem. I personally do not have this issue. Here's a link to the FAQ's as well: http://www.guardiantechnologies.com/faqs/

Make sure the seal is tightened all the way; I purchased 2 humidifiers with no issues.

That's normal. When you place the blue water tank down onto the unit, it has to get water down to the spinning disk part. I keep a small towel under ours to catch any drips when I'm taking the top on and off. Be sure to unplug it and clean the bottom part once in a while. We use ours daily and clean it with warm water and the little brush about once per week.

I used tap water that runs through my undersink water filter. That keeps most of the hard water minerals out which can cause a problem of buildup inside the humidifier.

No mist just air and it comes out the lower front. This is a could humidifier not a warm, so there is no mist.

Yes, the two filters that are needed to run the humidifier are included with the unit. There are instructions in the manual as to how to clean the filters and get a little more use out of them.

You know, I have had mine for a long time.Yes, I probably should humidify my humidor more often by pouring more distilled water in it, but I smoke about one cigar every few months.That being said, I bought the one tube months ago, and whenever they are all brown and shrunken again, I fill it with distilled water.Still on the same tube.

According to my husband, you leave the water in for a few days to "season" the humidor, then you remove the water and use the humidifier. Hope it helps.

No- this unit doesn't put out a ton of moisture- you are only filling it with appx 1/4 cup water, and it never steams all of it out. I would recommend a regular humidifier for what you need.

I did. However, it destroyed my humidifier. So my recommendation would be to follow the manufacturer's instructions on adding stuff to the water in your humidifier if you can at all.
