Before you begin
- Unplug the humidifier.
- Rinse the inside of the tank with fresh water.
- Wipe away any loose or visible mineral buildup with a clean towel.
Step 1: Mix the Descaling Solution
First, fill the tank with 2 L (0.5 gal) of water. Then add the descaling powder and mix well.
For monthly maintenance
Use a 2% descaling solution.
- Add 1 pouch (1 oz) of descaling powder to 2 L (0.5 gal) of water.
For heavy buildup or pump issues
Use a stronger 4% descaling solution.
- Add 2 pouches (2 oz total) of descaling powder to 2 L (0.5 gal) of water.
Important: The tank should be about halfway full. Always add the water first, then the descaling powder.
Step 2: Let the Tank and Pump Soak
- Remove the sponge pre-filter from the pump and place it directly in the tank.
- Place the pump into the tank as you normally would during assembly.
- Make sure the bottom half of the pump is fully submerged in the descaling solution.
- Let the tank, pump, and sponge pre-filter soak for 2 hours.
Step 3: Rinse and Reassemble
After 2 hours:
- Remove the pump from the tank.
- Thoroughly rinse the pump, sponge pre-filter, and tank separately with fresh water.
- Reassemble your humidifier.
- Fill the tank with fresh water before using it again.
Your humidifier is now ready to use.
