5.0 out of 5 stars Extends Filter Life, February 7, 2007

By 

Frankie & Johnny (East Moline, IL USA) - See all my reviews

I have an evaporizing humidifier. I dropped one of these in the tank and my filter was good for almost a month. The indicator barely moved. I removed the cartridge from the tank and intended on getting a new one from the store. I put it off and forgot and my filter was bad by the end of the week. My new filter only lasted 2 weeks without the cartridge. This cartridge extended my filter life by almost double. Probably would have been longer if I had replaced the cartridge sooner. $30.00 later & replacing my filter AGAIN I'm buying more of these. They definitely help.
*and changing the cartridge once a month is extremely convienient compared to liquid chemical solutions you have to add each time u fill the tank*

1.0 out of 5 stars Highly misleading, January 29, 2007

By 

B.E. (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The description for this cartridge says that it "provides continuous protection against mold and bacteria" with its "Aquastat" antimicrobial technology. If you read the literature that comes with it, however, it says that it prevents microbe growth *in the cartridge*. Not in your humidifier. It's not an antimicrobial cartridge; it's a demineralization cartridge. Whoever reported that it removes slime must be imagining it.

Re: the reviewer who wrote "it says that it prevents microbe growth *in the cartridge*. Not in your humidifier". OMG, he's right! I've been using these things for 6 months and never noticed that. They do something, because I think my humidifier filter lasted a bit longer using them. But since I don't have any data to back that up, I'm going to stop buying them on principle. I'll go back to a liquid anti-bacterial chemical; I'll sleep better knowing that I'm not breathing bacteria-laden air. Maybe I'll come up with an easier method of adding the liquid to my units when I fill them, like maybe using a medicine dropper instead of a fraction of a capfull.

Thanks!
