What is the little basket for and where does it go in this humidifier?

Could be a filter. I don't remember anymore. I got rid of the unit a while back after it quit on me after 6 months.

This is the filter unit. It screws onto the bottom of the water container (i.e. you unscrew it to fill the container and then screw it back in).

thank you for your help- When I took out the tank that piece just fell out and it does not show it in the book

I just use a little bucket to keep it in, there may be a special holder out there but I'm not aware of it. Sorry.

I doubt it would work well or be good for the humidifier. Water flows from the tank down underneath, where it bubbles and spits and makes water vapor, which rises up the tube in the middle.

Mine has a porta filter holder. It fits in place of the normal container and the bracket is metal. I do use it, unlike the other answerer, and don't have any problems with grounds missing the basket.

It's, as others have mentioned, a standard 2-prong plug. This is not hand-held or rechargeable item. You can read the dimensions (about the size of a coffeemaker) & more information about this humidifier if you look at the detailed description.

No, it's a humidistat, used to control something. When the humidity reches the pre set level, you need a switch that you flick before you take a dump

De-humidifiers put out a lot of heat. If it's a small room it will heat up.

As I understand the directions, you are to add one cap full each time your refill the water reservoir. It helps eliminates odors and helps keep the humidifier free of fungus and mildew.

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.

Now I am getting a little confused myself. I found out that there are other FPA models that provide a humidifier function too... Sorry, not much help.

I believe the filter basket holder swings out to the side so you can insert or remove the plastic filter.

I have one in my humidifier now and with out measuring it i would have to guess its only about 1 inch in diameter.

It goes in the lid right above the "vick's" logo, but I'd recommend returning the humidifier ASAP. Mine is full of mold after only a few uses! Good luck!

The light (small red and green between the two dials) comes on to indicate power and ionizer. I use distilled water in the tank and have used this unit for the past couple of winters. It is the best humidifier that I have ever used. I even bought another one as a back up.

Allows the airflow from the humidifier to bypass the heating element of the furnace, so you don't lose most of the benefit of adding the humidity. Takes air from the cold return side and sends it directly to the hot air flowing from the plenum and on out to the registers.

You will most likely have to order it from the factory. If I remember correctly, there was a parts list with the paperwork that came with the humidifier. You can also go to Essick's website and order it there.
