How The Care Free® Humidifier Plus
Evaporative Humidifier Works
The Care Free® Humidifier Plus Evaporative
Humidifier has a unique patented design with
several innovative features:
• Low Maintenance – Other humidifiers
have paper filters that need to be replaced
every few months. Our exclusive
PermaWick™ filter saves time and money.
It’s designed to last season after season,
saving up to $45 a year. No wet paper
odors either.
• Regulated Release™ System – By dis-
persing water from the top of the
PermaWick™ filter, stagnant water around
the PermaWick™ filter is eliminated, and

nated. NOTE: The filter has a coating on
the wick which may make it appear old or
used, but is actually new.
• Built-in Antimicrobial Properties – The
plastic parts and the PermaWick™ filter
have built-in antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold and fungi
that may affect these parts.
NOTE: This product contains antimicrobial
properties which are built-in to inhibit the
growth of bacteria which may affect the
plastic and PermaWick™ filter in the humidifier. These properties do not extend to
the water, humidified air or users. Conduct
routine cleaning and maintenance based
upon use and individual conditions.
• No White Dust – The Care Free® Humidi-
fier Plus Evaporative Humidifier produces
no white dust that can settle on furniture
or be inhaled.
NOTE: You may notice mineral deposits
accumulating in the tank base or on the
