REPLACING YOUR WICKING FILTER
It is recommended that you change your wicking filter every 1-2 months depending on water quality and usage.
To extend filter life remove filter from unit when not in use and allow to dry in a well ventilated area.
NOTE: Wicking Filter performance will diminish depending on the mineral content of the water and the amount of
airborne dust in the environment.
IMPORTANT: CHECK WICKING FILTER REGULARLY.
Any of the following conditions indicate that it is time to replace the Wicking Filter.
• A buildup of impurities and minerals on the Wicking Filter (evidenced by discoloration of the Wicking Filter)
• An appreciable decrease in Humidifier output. Please keep in mind if your relative humidity is high your
humidifier will put out less moisture.
• The top surface of the Wicking Filter is not moist to the touch
• The Wicking Filter has large holes or tears
The Wicking Filter should be replaced at least one or two times during the season, depending on usage, mineral
content of the water and the environment. We encourage you to only use a Honeywell HAC-504AW Replacement
Wicking Filter. The use of other Wicking Filters may lead to sub-standard performance.
Use Replacement
Wicking Filter HAC-
504AW or Filter A.
