PricingHumidifier Pad Replacement
- Do I need to replace my humidifier pad, or can I just wash it?
- Flow-through humidifiers have a pad that needs to be replaced generally about 1x per year, as they become encrusted with deposited minerals from the water.
- Humidifier pads should be REPLACED and NOT washed, because the pad may have a hydrophilic (absorbent) coating or anti-bacterial coating that wears off with washing and over time.
- How often should my humidifier pad be replaced?
- You should check your humidifier every 30-60 days for visible signs of build up.
- Generally it is recommended that pads are replaced once per humidification season – which if you usually only use your humidifier in winter, would be once per year.
- This does depend on how much you run your humidifier, and how hard your water is, which is why checking it every month or two is your best course of action.
- TIP: add a monthly reminder to your phone to check both your furnace filter + humidifier pad
