This unit does not have a filter. It does require cleaning about once a week and will not work correctly if it has not been cleaned. The tank and top part need to be removed (small clip on back) and the whole base needs to be wiped out. A Q-Tip works great for cleaning the metal disc that creates the mist. Adding vinegar to your water mixture will help to increase the amount of time between cleanings and will prevent mold from growing in the tank. I would recommend starting with a 1/4 cup per tank and not increasing to more than a 1/2 cup. I put in a whole cup as I found recommended somewhere and it ruined the rubber seal at the base.

No filter. Need to keep on level surface and no transporting unit with water in the jug. Bought 2 and both are running great, running 24-7 all winter.

It uses model # 1041. The box for filter model # 1041 does not state that it is for use in this humidifier, but the filter that came with the unit when it was new is a # 1041. It would have been nice if that information was part the product spec.

I have had this particular unit since this summer. It has been consistent and reliable in keeping a constant humidity. However, periodically the "dirty filter" light will come on, so I will then clean it. I am not sure if the filter is not cleaned for an extended time, if it will shut=off?

Since it was a gift, and I only received the difusser I don't have the instructions manual either. I've only noticed the mist will get lower as the water decrease. Try turning it on and off a few times. Maybe you can contact the company and have them send you one.

Evian worked fine; didn't try Kirkland as I don't have access to that brand. Overall though, I stopped using this device after much frustrations with the mist mechanism and filters. It appears some are having no problems but I started to have a lot of problems and went back to a conventional humidifier for household needs and misting spray bottles in hotel rooms.

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.

There is no filter needed on this, and one of the original reason why I pick this model. However, buyer beware. The seller shipped us used and open item, and pass it of as new! Then the humidifier stop working less than 6 months of use! After a long time working with Bionaire, they came thru with warranty

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.

It's broken. All 5 of the ones I have bought in the last 2 years eventually stop blowing the mist out. Crane offers a 12-month warranty though if you go to their website and send them an email under the contact us. They will replace it for free if it's within 12 months.

At Lowes Hardware stores, they sell a "T-Filter". It costs $12.00. Its the exact same piece that comes with the Mist System. Just by one of those, attach one end to your hose faucet and the other to the 3/8 in pvc hose. Simple.

There are two filter in this unit. The one at the top of the canister you water every 3months but the one (HEPA) I have yet to replace it. though it is a replaceable filter it doesn't seem to be dirty yet and I have I'm since last May. I love everything about this machine!

You turn on the water, and it will mist continuously until you turn the water off. If you added a digital timer, you could do intervals.

Did you ever find a timer that does performs like you asked? I want to program my misting system like this...come on every five minutes for a one minute spray time. Thank you.

I am not sure but the misting system we put in was purchased from walmart, ours is made out of PVC pipe with the section with the misters being bought seperate, looks like a PVC fitting w/ the mister attached.

Yes I had the same problem and ditched it and found a better humidifier. Our unit leaked from the very same spot. Other people have had the problem. We've had this one for about 6 months: Crane Drop Shape Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier with 2.3 Gallon output per day and it seems to be working well. No filters. It's a little bit of a pain to clean, but a little bleach solution and voila, it's clean. For our needs, this has been a much better humidifier and NO LEAKS!!!!

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.

Yes there is a very large filter in the center of the unit. It needs to be changed periodically. The filter will turn brown and get stiff. There's an indicator light when the filter needs to be changed. I had unit a humidifier without a unit and it left a white film over my furniture and floor. I got rid of that one!
