Maintenance Instructions
How Water Hardness Affects Maintenance
Your humidifier will accumulate minerals such as calcium and lime
after operating for a short period. (Accumulation of minerals is a sure
sign the humidifier is producing humidity.) The amount of accumulation
depends on the hardness of the water supply in your area. Therefore,
the amount of time between cleanings is unpredictable.
To determine if your humidifier pad needs cleaned or replaced, look to
see if the openings in the pad are caked with minerals.
CAUTION: Excessive buildup of minerals is detrimental to the
humidifier­­’s inter­­nal par­­ts as well as to the evapor­­ative pr­­ocess.
Refer to the maintenance instructions below to achieve years of efficient
performance from your Skuttle Flow­Thru Humidifier.
