ABOUT WHITE DUST:
Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to
accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is
commonly called “white dust.” The higher the mineral content (or, the harder
your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is
not caused by a defect in the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals
suspended in the water.
HOW AND WHY TO USE DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGES:
The HoMedics demineralization cartridge will help reduce the potential for
white dust, a deposit of minerals left behind from using hard water in your
humidifier. The cartridge should be replaced every 30 – 40 fillings. The
cartridge may need to be replaced more often if you are using very hard water.
Replace the cartridge when you notice an increase in white dust build-up. If
white dust still forms around
the humidifier after a new cartridge has been installed, consider using
distilled water. To purchase new demineralization cartridges, model # UHE-
HDC4, go back to the retailer (where you purchased your
humidifier), or visit (US) www.homedics.com, (CAN) www.homedics.ca
If you live in an area with hard water, or use a water softener, we recommend
using distilled water for better results from your humidifier. Never use water
softening additives in your humidifier.
