INTRODUCTION
Your Essick Air evaporative humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by
moving dry inlet 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, the result is just clean,
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 ED11 Series humidifiers use Essick Air
wick # 1041. Only the Essick Air evaporative wick guarantees the certified output of
your humidifier. Use of wicks other than Essick Air brand will void your warranty as
well as the certification of output and may reduce the output of your humidifier.
