Regular descaling helps keep your humidifier working its best by removing mineral buildup from the tank and pump. Follow the steps below to clean your humidifier using citric acid descaling powder.

Before you begin

1. Unplug the humidifier.

2. Rinse the inside of the tank with fresh water.

3. Wipe away any loose or visible mineral buildup with a clean towel.

Step 1: Mix the Descaling Solution

First, fill the tank with the recommended amount of water. Then add the descaling powder and mix well.

For monthly maintenance Use a 2% descaling solution.

• Smaller tanks: Add 1 pouch (1 oz) of descaling powder to 1.5 L (0.4 gal) of water.
• Larger tanks: Add 2 pouches (2 oz total) of descaling powder to 3.0 L (0.8 gal) of water.

For heavy buildup or pump issues Use a stronger 4% descaling solution.

• Smaller tanks: Add 2 pouches (2 oz total) of descaling powder to 1.5 L (0.4 gal) of water.
• Larger tanks: Add 4 pouches (4 oz total) of descaling powder to 3.0 L (0.8 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
