Review on 🔍 Essick Air MA1201 Replacement Humidifier Wick Filter: Factory Air Filter for MA-1201 Model by Pascal Santos

I change the filters once a week during the high humidity season. There is always a ring of mineral deposits at the top of the filter. I've found that I can soak the deposits in white vinegar for about 30 minutes by rolling them so they stand upright in a round cake pan and adding just enough vinegar to cover the deposits. After the soak, I rinse the entire filter while lying on the grate in the tub. I keep using the same filter, but the original filter is very fragile when wet. The replacement has a layer of perforated aluminum in the structure, which is much more durable and easier to adapt to the machine for reuse.
