Review on πŸ”Œ AIRCARE 1045 Replacement Console Wick, Black (1): Efficient Air Humidifier Wick for Optimal Performance by Dustin Barry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Doesn't absorb enough water to provide adequate humidity

I have been using this humidifier with these wicks for several years now. Usually for the first time in the season it takes 2 jugs of water to start it: one to fill the wick and one to fill the reservoir enough to start the blower. Every day after that I have to fill the jug once in the morning to keep the humidity at 2.5. Today is the fifth day and I only filled the tank 3 times. The wick feels moist but not wet. The engine feels hot because it is running on stage 2 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's like the material is more pliable than in previous years. I have requested a refund and am hoping to find an older or counterfeit wick that works. I don't think the quality of my water is a factor because it's only been a few days and not enough time to build up.

Pros
  • Longer lifespan, still 96-2/5% after 90 days
Cons
  • Compatibility
