Review on 🌬️ Protec Humidifier Cleaning Ball (PC-1) – Combat Humidifier Mold and Bacteria for a Cleaner Environment by Andrew Kamkoff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An affordable way to keep your humidifier water and filter cleaner for longer

I love this product. The problem with most humidifiers is the high bacterial growth in the water. This can be identified by the musty smell in the air from dirty and contaminated water in the pan and tank. Pure vapor is odorless. I'm making this review based on a specific humidifier I have, a Honeywell model HCM 630. I live in an overheated New York City apartment during the cold months. My husbands and I had lots of runny noses, dry coughs, dry skin, and nosebleeds from hot dry air, so I bought this machine two years ago to relieve our suffering. There are three hidden maintenance steps that every humidifier owner must follow, which the humidifier manufacturer does not usually mention in their instruction manual, to keep the humidifier hygienic. First, it is necessary to keep the tank and water clean by cleaning the inside of the tank and the inside of the lid and changing the water daily. Secondly, once a month after cleaning the aquarium, throw one of these Protec cartridges in the aquarium and let them do their job as they help to allow the growth and migration of mould, fungi, algae and bacteria in and on the water slow it down. Filter. Third, and just as necessary as the other two, replace the large disc filter monthly or every two weeks, especially if the humidifier is running 24/7. If you follow all three steps regularly, you'll enjoy clean vapor that helps keep your mucous membranes from drying out during the winter months (much healthier for all of us), and as an added bonus, you won't get static electricity on your touch Another. People or metal objects while the humidifier is operating.
