You will not need the humidifier as much because the air is more stable and not being changed as much.

When soft water is used instead of hard water the residue in the unit's panel can usually be cleaned by flushing it with water or using a soft brush. Hard water by its nature will leave a scale that is difficult at best to remove. Using soft water will keep scale from accumulating, and thus keep the humidifying unit functioning properly.

Yes, as long as it is a 24 volt power source (which it should be). We recommend that you use a volt-meter to test the circuit before connecting your humidifier as hooking up your Desert Spring to a source of power greater than 24 volts could cause serious damage to the electronic components and/or injury.

Aprilaire humidifiers are great! They reduce dry skin and especially help with dry sinuses. They help reduce colds and allergies. They also help furniture from drying and eliminate shock from static electricity. We have several models available and the investment is surprisingly low. [ back to top ]

I buy different brand cuban cigars 25 in a box. Some come in aluminium tubes, some cellophane wrapped and some unwrpped. I don't own a humidor. I keep the boxes in a fridge and grab a cigar as and when I want to smoke. My question is:

ABSOLUTELY YES! VERY IMPORTANT: By using your misting lamp as an aromatherapy diffuser you eliminate burning candles, which give off pollutants they contain from burning petroleum-based paraffin wax. You need only a tiny amount to add fragrance to the room, or the whole house, so use very sparingly, only a few drops! Add the fragrance oils directly to the water, but not directly on top of the mister.

No, a floor drain is not required unless you use the optional AutoFlush accessory or use the optional overflow knock-out.

Hot water will not harm your humidifier, however our lab tests show that the small performance gains are not worth the added costs for heating water.

Humidifiers add moisture to the air you breath from the CPAP machine. It will help prevent your mouth, nose, and throat from dying out.

The plates are made of cellulose fiber, essentially a paper product. These plates are completely non-toxic, child and pet safe, and FDA approved.

A heated humidifier uses heat to produce moisture. The heat is adjustable for more or less moisture, and the chamber is much smaller than a passover humidifier. It is our experience from over ten years of specializing in CPAP equipment, that patients who use heated humidifiers have a much higher rate of compliance to CPAP therapy.

A passover humidifier is a chamber of water added to the CPAP to help moisten the airflow and reduce irritation to the nasal passages. Air flows from the CPAP, through a short hose to the humidifier, then into the six foot hose to the mask. The air picks up whatever moisture it can as it "passes over" the water in the chamber. Passover humidifiers may provide suffcient moisture with CPAPs set at lower-end pressures, but if not, there is no way to increase the amount of moisture produced.

integrated humidifier is a component to a specific CPAP that fits directly to the CPAP, eliminating the need for a second hose and in some heated humidifiers, a second power cord. A disadvantage is that they may produce less moisture. When used as passover humidifiers, the surface area is smaller. Integrated heated humidifiers, due to the close proximity of the heating element to the CPAP, will not become quite as hot as a stand-alone humidifier.

Your water contains minerals and sediment. Those impurities are left behind in the humidifier and it must be cleaned in order to function properly. Consumer Products Safety Commission recommends that you clean your humidifier on a weekly basis, more if you have hard water. Each week, you should clean the base of your humidifier and the tank reservoir(s) as directed in your owner's guide. Remember to always clean your humidifier at the beginning and end of each season.

This will vary depending upon the type of humidifier you have, the hardness of your water and the operating time of your unit. If you have a Skuttle flow-thru unit or if you have a reservoir-type humidifier with a Skuttle automatic flushing timer-once a year is generally sufficient.
