  Humidifier Plus Evaporative 
Humidifi er has a unique patented design with 
several innovative features:
  •  Low Maintenance – Other humidifi ers have 
paper fi lters that need to be replaced every 
few months. Our exclusive PermaWick™ 
fi lter saves time and money. It’s designed to 
last season after season, saving up to $45 a 
year. No wet paper odors either.
  •  Pump System – By dispersing water from 
the top of the PermaWick™ fi lter, stagnant 
water around the PermaWick™ filter is 
eliminated, and the buildup of mineral 
residue that can clog the fi lter and impede 
performance is eliminated. 
  NOTE: The fi lter has a coating on the wick 
which may make it appear old or used, but 
is actually new.
  •  Built-in Antimicrobial Properties  – The 
plastic parts and the PermaWick™ fi lter have 
built-in antimicrobial properties to inhibit the 
growth of bacteria, mold and fungi that may 
affect these parts.
  NOTE: This product contains antimicrobial 
properties which are built-in to inhibit the 
growth of bacteria which may affect the
