how to put the filter in the humidifier?

The filter slides into fixed plastic guides below the fan at the base of the water tray......the filter must be the correct part number for your specific Essick Air Model number....

The filter only goes in one way, as far as I can tell. Putting it in is not the problem. The problem is cleaning the entire inside of the Essick after it's gone through a season. It needs to be scrubbed thoroughly, the old filter thrown away, the new one inserted, before beginning a new season.

Open the top, remove the motor/fan unit and water containers. You now have an empty box. On the inside back of this box is a ridge on which you hang the filter. The filter also has a ridge to attach to the back so there is only one way to put it in. Replace the internal parts and you are good to go.

Loosen large nut that connects filter to pump. Remove valve or plug on bottom of filter allowing all water to drain. Disconnect return hose from top of filter. This will free up the tank to place inside. I normally remove all stainless bolts, washers and nuts and pull the top off the filter and clean all old earth from the fingers. Let dry before placing top back onto filter. You're now ready for next season startup.

Add water. Shake it up. I've only done it once. I have a disc humidifier now.

The filter housing could be opened by hand...but if you have a hard time opening it, try to wrap cloth around the housing, then use a wretch to open it

Fill the tank with water. Soak the blue cartridge in water for a few min until full. Fill the base with water. Seal up the tank and place it on the base. Turn the humidifier on. It may take a few minutes to start seeing the mist.

The manual for the humidifier unit states one filter pad. That is what I use. Mine works fine. I adjust the humidity manually according to the outside temperature.

In the water holder there is a black plastic holder, pull it up and there is a slot shaped like the filter. Unsnap the bottom area and the filter slips in. Snap the plastic pieces together and put it back in the water area. Fill it with water and start the machine. It should work fine and filter the water.

You put your fingers in through the big circular hole at the bottom of the lid and just pull the filters out. Similarly, to put in replacement filters, just squish them in through that big circular hole and adjust as needed so that they're settled in place.

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.

You attach the filter to the heater. The connection on the heater should swing out.

Yes there was a sponge included with mine. It is probably simple to cut one that would fit - .its kind of thin though. But why should you have to do that. They owe you a sponge. Contact them . Once you get the sponge, the humidifier works pretty well, but you have to check it - depending on how heated your apartment is - to make sure it hasn't dried out .

You hold the rod above the filter securely, then turn filter counter clockwise. ( viewing it from bottom) it should thread out.

It goes in the lid right above the "vick's" logo, but I'd recommend returning the humidifier ASAP. Mine is full of mold after only a few uses! Good luck!

My model has the filter in the upper right corner in the fridge. I was able to push in and the filter releases and comes out. Then place the new one in and do the same. Push in and it will stay in place. That is it. Most simple filter change I have ever done. Hope this helps as some models are different than others. Good Luck.

Do I put the pre-filter on the inside or outside of the regular filter? I don't see it written in the online manual..
