How to Replace a Humidifier Filter

!±8± How to Replace a Humidifier Filter

The filter is ready for a change whenever there is visible build up of dust and pollutants. If there is nothing visible the filter still should be changed at least once a year to rid of invisible mold spores or bacteria that could be lurking in the filter. The frequency of change depends on how much the unit is used.

As with any electric appliance, be sure to unplug the unit before beginning. Then remove the water tank and empty it if necessary. Fill it up with cold water and add a tablespoon of household bleach to disinfect any possible mold or bacteria that might have built up in the sitting water. Let that sit for about 20 minutes.

Then proceed to remove the motor housing. It is the piece that covers the top of the humidifier. This is the opportunity to vacuum or wipe away any dust or dirt that might be on the humidifier. Do not take the unit apart any further than this because that would void the manufacturer warranty.

Now lift the filter out of the unit. Some models have filters that can be cleaned and reused. Since most replacement filters are economical, it is usually a good idea to simply use a new filter as it is the cleanest way to go. If you do choose to wash and reuse the filter be sure not to squeeze or wring it dry to avoid tearing the filter.

Putting the unit back together is pretty straight forward. Everything goes back the way it opened up. The base of the unit can be cleaned with a cup of white vinegar. Just let it sit for about 20 minutes, then use the bleach and water mix from the water tank to disinfect. Then rinse everything to rid of the cleaning chemicals.

Timely replacement of the humidifier filter is a good way of ensuring the optimal benefit of having and using a humidifier. If this is too much trouble there always is the option of a humidifier that does use a humidifier filter as well.
