humidifier overflowing: Anyone know how to fix this?
591208
I have had 3 failures in 3 years. One a crack that caused a leak; one a loss of mist. The first 2 times it was replaced under warranty. BUT each time it took 10 phone calls to the unspeakably incompetent service department, and each time it took them 3 months to send a replacement after they kept "losing" my unit. By this time the winter season was over. So I get a product that works for a month at the beginning of each season, and a replacement arrives only after the end of the season.

It is the type of humidifiers you either soak in distilled water or humi fluid.It's kinda like that floral sponge meteralit depends on if your using distilled water or Glycol Solution but every couple weeks or when it starts to dry out (depends on how well the humidor was seasoned)id recommend getting a digital hygrometer and getting 72% boveda humi-packs (only have to change them out every two months or so)do some looking in to them they work great for me.

Sounds like you have air trapped in the system. You could try taking the filters out and flushing the system with water and reinstalling the filters. I'm assuming that you have no leaks in it.

The humidifier would run constantly if solonied valve was energized always , might get too much water in system , I wired into fan only gets water when fan is energized

What I found, is that there is some kind of suction that happens. I put a thin washcloth in between (btwn the bottom water vessel & the white ring that sits on top of that). I no longer have the overflow problem. Hope that helps!

You don't want to restrict water flow on a humidifier. It's an all-or-nothing thing. Either it runs or it doesn't, which ie controlled by the hUmidistat. Even at full-bore though it uses very little water. Mine had to be drained into the sump well for lack of a nearby drain and it's never been anywhere close to enough to kick on. I'd guess a typical cycle uses less than a glass of water judging from the trickle I've observed in the clear drainage tube

The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough. Perhaps the plastic cover part connected to the tube is not seated correctly. I hate to suggest it, but make sure the separate toggle switch on the back of the unit is in the ON position. It could also be broken - I don't get the impression that the unit itself is very well designed or crafted. I don't even use the humidifier function on mine anymore. It's almost impossible to keep clean. It gets moldy in the transfer tube very easily. I wish I could return it and get a designated humidifier that was designed for that purpose. In hindsight, I would recommend that you avoid this gimmicky product. It promises way more than it can deliver. The reservoir may be too full, or not full enough.

if you have it on full power, make sure you check directly underneath the humidifier. if this area is wet, then the air in the room is already saturated, and you should run the humidifier at a lower setting. if its still dry, your water vapor should be dispersing itself on its own

Sounds as though the pressure reducer on your supply to the house is restricting too much, may need resetting or replacement....

Excess water could mean you are overfilling the tank. This has happened with another brand of steam mop I have had.

Check the water level in the tank to make sure there is enough water for it to run. Check the dial that controls the volume/output to ensure that it's turned up high enough. When the water tank is placed on the base, you'll hear a gurlging sound as the water fills the resevoir. If you don't hear that, it may not be placed on the base properly or a valve may be stuck. The mist will not come out at a strong force, but you should be able to see it when the humidifier is turned up at least 1/2 way.

Most likely you are overfilling the water container. Fill it up to 1/2 inch from the top.

Sorry, but I haven't tried the humidifier yet. Heater capacity in a larger room is disappointing

Hi, I had the same problem for a few days.....finally I thought and thought and realized that the process works on vacuum seal. I majorly tightened the lid and the thing stopped overflowing! They should tell us that. Hope yours works well.

For musty odors there is too much moistures. Adding more moisture wouldn't help. Look for de-humidifier

I have no idea what your problem could be as I am on my second one and have not had any problems with it making my night stand wet. It does make my hair and my covers a little wet because I like to have it very close to my face so that is to be expected. Other than that, I have had absolutely no problems with this humidifer. Perhaps it needs to be replaced.

Not a problem. Happy to help :) I do absolutely love this humidifier tho. Must buy.
