How often should pads be replaced if used about 8 hours per day?

How often to change the filter depends on how much oil you use and how many times a day. If you only use a couple of drops a day then it should go several months. If you are applying drops several time a day, then I would change it more often. My husband has the unit so I'm not sure if you can wash/ rinse the pads. He only uses one scent and said he never changed the filter the whole year of school(9 months). I think its an individual thing, I just wouldn't let the pad get soggy with oil as it might drip or leak.

I have changed mine about once every 3 months however I'm using the same fragrance on each pad per fan but I don't run mine every day, probably about 3-4 days a week for about 8hrs each time. If the pad starts getting dirty then change more often because the fan is pulling up air through the bottom and if pad is dirty the fan doesn't work as well. If you are refilling the same fragrance oil onto pad every 15-30 days then you probably will have to change pads during a 90 - 120 day period because after awhile the pad gets sticky. I use pure essential oils since they last longer and have a more pure scent. Love my fans!

I wear mine to bed all the time. Yes you have to be careful because it does affect how the gel pads come off in the morning. I carefully pull off so they don't come off the unit and then cover them with the plastic cover intil the next night. I can use a set of pads for maybe 5 nights. I would not be able to sleep if I didn't use them in the bed when my back is acting up.

Either. If discomfort is ongoing, such as arthritis, use up to four times a day. For injury such as strain or sprain, use as needed until discomfort is alleviated.

You can use it as little or as much as needed. I don't change the pad each time, in fact, I've changed butane before I've changed the pad.

You should change the diaper, at max, every 2 hours during the day. It is better if you change more often than that to avoid a rash.

I suppose It depends on the amount of usage. But I have had mine since November 13. Used moderately but not heavily. A couple times a week for 30 min to 1 hour each time. I like them. If I could afford the $40 a piece ones I would get those over these any day. But for the money they do what I need them to so and so far no sign of wear.

I have just wash the pad over and over and have not needed to replace and I haven't needed to replace any parts sorry that i can't help you answer your question

I'd say as long as you clean them regularly you can replace as needed. No tears or discoloration your fine. Just boil them for 5 in or so.

The owner's manual says replace every year for heavy use, every 2 years for normal use and every three years for light use. I use it only at night as opposed to the recommended constant 24 hour condinuous use, so I think I probably waited 4 years, which was much too long as it was really dirty.

A LONG time. It was years before I had to replace mine, but I don't use it every day. Maybe a couple times a week is all.

It's more like they get worn down after extended use. I'd say with daily use it lasts 4-6 months depending on your operation.

I've only used pads like the one it came with but.....with care you can get a lot of life out of them. I guess it depends on how you're using them. I can repeatedly buff & polish my vehicles for at least a year before I slap on a new one.

I only use once a day and 3 to 4 days a week. I have noticed that I don't experience irritation when I don't use it everyday and still benefit the results.

If you call the company, they might send you some replacement pads. The number should be in your manual somewhere. Good luck!

I use the two pads on my left shoulder for 15 minutes then I remove them and put them on my lower back for 15 minutes. They can be used up to 30 minutes on one spot

It depends on which setting you use. They really are only good for a night or two. Having said that, I refill the pads myself with 4 drops of eucalyptus essential oil and they will last indefinitely.
