Do I need to use humidifier enhancement tablet? What do they do?

The tablets are great... especially for sick kiddos, they give a great smell to the room and help open up stuff noses.

I did not get the tablets. Not sure what the benefit is. Worked great without them.

I didn't use mine long enough to need a filter change. But from experience with other humidifiers, you should change the filter when it becomes discolored. The filter is you wick for moving the water to the top. When you notice a change in the amount of steam, the wick is no longer effective.

I use it instead of the little round one that came with it. I like the drymistat humidifier a lot, because I can tell at a glance when it needs more water. I just use plain tap water in it.

Mold. You have to clean the humidifier - any humidifier - regularly. This one is a little tough to clean, so I'd recommend a bottle brush.

Can't speak about MyBaby HoMedics humidifier, but I know it didn't work at all with the HoMedics larger model. Best to get a humidifier that has a filter to avoid all these issues.

Add water. Shake it up. I've only done it once. I have a disc humidifier now.

Nothing but water recommended by the manufacturer. It is a great humidifier and I would advise against ruining it with a fragrance. Good smelling odors can turn foul in humidifiers and once in the filters difficult to get out.

Cool mist humidifiers are good for just increasing humidity without increasing the temperature. Warm humidifiers are good decongestants -- the warm moist air helps with this -- but they also really heat up the surrounding area and can be more dangerous because of this (I wouldn't run a warm one when nobody is home).

It's a calcium build up. It'll disable your humidifier altogether if not it's not regularly cleaned. When I first bought the humidifier, I also bought a solution that was supposed to help keep calcium buildup at bay. It didn't. So now I clean the humidifier once a month by letting the heating mechanism soak overnight (or while I'm at work) in vinegar.It works like a dream. This was my boyfriend's suggestion, so I can't take credit for it. But I'll swear on a stack of humidifiers that it works each and every time.

For mineral buildup, I use a capful of this (available on Amazon) and it appears to work: Holmes Lime Scale Treatment Solution for Humidifiers, S1705PDQ-U

Sorry for your affliction. This machine seems as advertised. I got a couple of hygrometers to measure the humidification and it helps, but it was also summer/air conditioning season. I'd withhold judgment until I got through a winter with the dry heat of my electric furnace.

The ionizer combined with the humidifier's effects are noticeable in the way that it improves breathing, skin, health benefits especially if you use it when you feel under the weather, I had forgotten to turn mine one for a couple weeks and immediately felt the benefits after restarting it. I feel it also improves sleep and I feel more refreshed in the morning. Scientifically there is no evidence based information on it, which is probably why there is no information listed..

When the machine worked, yes, it increased the humidity of the entire room.That's how humidifiers work. Of course, you'll always see a concentration of water vapor initially coming out of any humidifier. Then, the water vapor will disperse relatively evenly throughout the room.

No. It isn't a vaporizer or humidifyer. It doesn't heat up or steam. Air comes out. You cant see it but you should be able to feel a light cool breeze coming out of the vents.

My initial reaction would be to say no. It's really about keeping the insides of your humidifier clean and muck-free. It significantly reduced the amount of slime that accumulates in the water laden areas of the machine. It will also extend the practical use of the wick filter, but dust I is a different matter.

Sorry, I can't help--both my humidifiers went dead in the past few months. (Call Hunter, they are good about honoring their warranties.)

first and foremost I think you need to read the manual that came with the humidifier.you'll definitely need the EZCAL cleaner/descaler packets, and hydro cells, water maintenance system. The last item you need is an Ag+ ionic silver demineralization cartridge. Read and follow all the instructions.
