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 dispersing water from the top of the
PermaWick™ filter, stagnant water around the PermaWick™ filter is eliminated,

and the build-up of mineral residue that can clog the filter and impede performance is eliminated. 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
poperties 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 Humidifier 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
PermaWick™ filter. This is normal and does not affect performance. If you would
like to clean these deposits away, please see CLEANING THE HUMIDIFIER AND
WATER TANK.
