INTRODUCTION
Your Essick Air evaporative humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by
moving dry air through a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the
water evaporates into the air, leaving behind any white dust, minerals, or
dissolved and suspended solids. Because the water is evaporated, there is no
messy mist or spray, just clean and invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at
the beginning of every season. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement
may be necessary to maintain your humidifier's efficiency.
Use only Essick Air brand replacement wicks and chemicals. To order parts,
wicks and chemicals call 1-800-547-3888. The EA1201 humidifier uses 3 Wicks
part number HDC311. Only the Essick Air evaporative wick guarantees the
certified output of your humidifier. Use of wicks other than Essick Air brand may
void your warranty as well as the certification of output and may reduce the
efficiency of your humidifier.
