🔌 AIRCARE 1045 Replacement Console Wick, Black (1): Efficient Air Humidifier Wick for Optimal Performance Review

With well water always enough for the whole winter. The only thing I pay special attention to is adding the right amount of Aircare humidifier additive to prevent mold growth.

Have been using these filters for about 15 years. I used to change them every 6 months as I have very hard water. Since I installed a new water softener they have lasted almost a year. I use my humidifiers year round so the filters never dry out and I don't have the problems some describe. My only complaint is that they get expensive. The price has gone up more than $9 since I last bought it - almost 50%. I found them cheaper elsewhere.

I use a humidifier continuously from November through March due to the low humidity in our home from heating during the cold northern Idaho winters. I add a bacteriostatic water treatment. This wick easily lasts all winter. At the end of winter, when our spring rains raise the humidity, I discard the wick, clean the device, and store it until next winter. This wick is a lot cheaper than the same wick at my local hardware store, and Revain's shipping is fast. I am satisfied with this product…

This is a nice looking device, if a little flimsy until all the parts are in place. I like the big filter and how it fits. There are two things that make a humidifier better. First, it's an "automatic" fan setting, so it shouldn't be that loud. Another would be a better design for a water bottle. When empty, the device holds two water bottles, but adding the first requires removing the cap and pouring into the tank, then filling the second as the water in the bottle requires vacuum release. A…

This wick DOES NOT WORK! As a rule, the entire absorbent surface from top to bottom gets wet from the bottom edge, causing water to penetrate the bottom of the entire block. At least that's how the last console wick worked. This wick gets wet just above the water level, so the air flowing through the device does not pick up moisture. This wick is useless! I've tried everything including soaking the entire device in a wash tub overnight to ensure it gets wet... hoping to increase the osmotic…

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…

I have been using these wicks for many years and have been happy with the results. In some reviews, people have complained about having to change wicks frequently. I see two reasons why wicks can go bad quickly. First, the mineral content of the water, the higher the mineral content, the faster the wick will clog. So if you're using well water, you'll likely need to change filters more often. Second, particles in the incoming air. I have found that adding an additional air filter to my Essick…

I don't just say "they're the best," I say them because I live far north in Wisconsin where it's very cold, so a good humidifier or two in the house is a must , Otherwise, a convection oven will become so dry that your nostrils will sting like they're on fire. Your skin dries out. It's awful so I've been using large humidifiers around the house for decades and have learned from experience that I've tried other brands and nothing works like a real AIRCARE wick. They're built better for you, but…
