how do you know when the pad needs to be replaced?

It gets all dry and the bugs come back. Hay but leave it in there until that happens, just make sure you are carrying a fresh one, and make sure you don't open it until you are going to put it in!

It stops putting out little vapors and isn't effective at killing mosquitoes.

I've got an e-mail from the manufacture, saying that the pad is no longer available. The unit has been discontinued.

Try contacting a seller of the entire pad. I got a second fan set because the first one they shipped has a broken peg.

Eventually there is a need to buy new pads. However this product used sparingly does extend the useful life of pads

Yes, the replacement pad seemed to fit perfectly. Would recommend the replacement pad highly.

No there is no physical or visual indicator to let you know when it needs changing. I have had mine a few years now and I am just assuming that when the time comes for it to need replaced I will start seeing sediment in the water. I will replace it at that time.

I had an older one that I recently replaced with the newer model. Both the new one and the older one did that, but I found that it usually meant I needed to change the pad, it wasn't damp enough any longer. I lover my newer one because it is longer, not any where near as short as my first one was.

Just rinse the pad out weekly. There's plenty of good bacteria growing all over the substrate so you're not going to destroy it by rinsing. My pad is over a year old and works fine.

It all depends how often you use it. I'm currently using the original pads and I use it weekly . It just needs washing and it's good as new .

Just email or phone the company that produces it. Just find it again on the net and it will giveyou the address and phone. They are exceptionally great for customer service. Just had to geta new pad, no questions or hassle, just sent replacement ,at no cost.

mine is doing the same thing. I have replaced the pads and still doing it. I think because of the thin cords from the device to the pads they are just not strong enough and the interior wires break ...I figure it has been a year and I got many, many uses from it...so will buy a new one. Wish the cords from device to pad were not so cheesy!!

What they don't tell you is the pad has a limited life. It comes in a 45, 90, or one year life cycle. My unit came with a 45 day pad. I assume the duration is due to the internal battery which is not replacable. A fact they neglict to inform you.

No, you need to replace the pad only. Also you should check the pad at the beginning of the heating season. If you have a lot of minerals in your water the pad will clog with the mineral deposits and reduce the efficiency of the humidifier.

I have not looked for a replacement pad, however, the pad that comes with our is the best i have ever used. I have had it about six months and it is holding up great

I've had mine for three months now and have never had to change the pads. Only rinse them off once.

Like all things, it depends on how much you use it. Mine has a spot where the fabric has worn away to the rubber tip, so a replacement is in the near future.
