Have you cleaned it. I use distilled water so I don't have to worry about mineral build up. I also have a water distiller which paid for itself in one year. you will also get a white powder over everything with a sonic humidifier with water from the faucet, especially if you have a water conditioner.. I clean out my sharper image humidifier half way through the winter. if you bought it from Sharper Image, they are very good about replacing items that stop working. sorry if this doesn't help.

Crystals are bigger than table salt, with little earth red dots peppered throughout. Not that big of crystals though.

The dust cover is not removable, but not much of a problem during use - only if you're right on top of the magnifier could it get in the way. btw - i really love this lamp!

Yes they are, I use them for my salt lamp, although the first one only lasted an hour otherwise ok.

Fine ground salt would pour out unless the unit was held upright. I would also think fine ground would tend to absorb moisture quicker and become a hard mass. I would only recommend Himalayan or equivalent rock salt.

Himalayan salt naturally forms a variety of colors, from dark orange to light pink. Since all Himalayan lamps are carved from salt "stones", it is quite common for them to have irregularities (such as dark spots) in them.

The description of the lamp says one 5x5x6 lamp cleans the air in a 90 square foot room. Most rooms are larger. So, does every one use this rule? Do you have 2 in a 12 x 14 room? Just wondering? This would make a huge difference in reducing odors.

I have 3 Himalayan salt lamps. 2 have dimmer switches & 1 does not. That is so you can adjust how bright it is.

No. My furniture is much less dusty too. I do have to fill it every morning, especially when the outside humidity is very low.

You shouldn't use any salt lamp in bathroom because the humidity will be absorb by lamp and you'll see the salt drops. They have salt lamps with normal plug too.

Yes, using the dimmer and lowering the lighting level reduces your electrical usage.

I used filtered water to restore the natural beauty of the crystals (they do come very dirty). Here's how: Put the crystals in a laundry mesh bag, fill a 5 gallon bucket with cold filtered water, dip and rotate the bag in the water for about 20 seconds, allow crystals to dry. You can clean yours crystals with water and there will hardly be a noticeable decrease in its volume. Do not use soap.

The salt lamps I bought have a wooden base on them. There was no need to put anything under them.

It helps some, but this size is meant for a bedroom or other small rooms not a living room.I have mine in my bedroom on my side table (not on the floor) and have noticed some difference in the dust on the furniture.

No, not a bit. It doesn't have that ionic feature. I do use water from our reverse osmosis water filter system, but the humidifier is not the type to put out that dust. I believe that's more in an air purifier or air filter, not a humidifier.

I also had the same question after I purchased this item. After contacting the seller, it seemed that they thought the lamp was the filter. So that being said, the filters have to be purchased separately. Sorry. :(
