They do seem to help with collection of minerals from the water you use. But, you still have to pay attention to the scale build up on the heating element. Do not let it build up, as it is really hard to remove it. Use white vinegar as least once a week to clean or soak the heating surface.
I also found that as it comes with two pads together; that was blocking the water from flowing into the heating area, so I just separated them and use one pad at a time.

I used to go through a box of these every 2 months. If you soak the pads in vinegar over night, you can reuse the pads instead of throwing them out.

This product was recomended to buy with my vicks humidifier, but they do not fit. Each one has to be trimmed to fit...

I PURCHASED 2 -Duracraft DWM250 2-1/2-Gallon Warm Mist Humidifier AND THEN PLACED A Honeywell HMP-12P QuickSteam Mineral Absorption Pad IN ONE HUMIDIFIER ( for some reason i forgot about the other).
AFTER USING BOTH OF THEM FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I DECIDED TO CLEAN THEM...WELL THE HUMIDIFIER WITHOUT THE PAD WAS VERY NASTY. WHILE THE OTHER HUMIDIFIER WITH THE PAD WAS MUCH CLEANER. THE PAD WAS DIRTY, BUT NOT THE HUMIDIFIER. THE PAD HAD COLLECTED THE SCALE AND MINERALS FORM THE WATER.

I WAS AMAZED AT HOW MUCH SCALE WAS ON THE PAD. I ADVISE ANYONE THAT USES A WARM MIST HUMIDIFIER W/ A HEATING ELEMENT TO USE THESE PADS, THEY DO WORK. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL...THESE KEEP YOUR HUMIDIFIER CLEANER AND HELPS THE HEATING ELEMENT FROM EROSION ...

Honeywell HMP-12P QuickSteam Mineral Absorption Pad, 12 Pack
Great Product! If you do not have a home water softener, or the desire to buy distilled water at 2 gallons per day, you NEED these Mineral Absorption pads. I've run my unit 24/7 with the exception of cleaning and refilling - all winter. With the pads, the cleaning is easy, very little mineral deposit inside the base. With an old pad or without one at all, what a mess - thick crusty hard water deposits built up everywhere inside the base!

However, I do think somewhere in the information about this product it should be said that these are the 3 1/4" pads.

when I purchased the vicks humidifier, Amazon offered this as the pad for the humidifier. bought it together but it DOESN'T FIT!!!! don't be tempted, just buy the pads separately.

Bought the pads a month ago and just for S&Gs (shiz and grins), I decided to take a look at the pads today - just 1 month later. The tank water looks clean so I guessed the pads were not needed. Duh! Holly ships!!! The pad accummulated more minerals from my tap water than I thought possible. The tank water looked clean. I won't pre-soak in vinigar until I know what will happen to the minerals that I now know are in the water.

P.S. I use the pads in a new Vicks/Kaz 2-tank Model V790 Germ-Free Humidifier for Medium/Large Room Size. It provides pure, sanitized warm mist to the environment.

P.P.S. These pads are NOT filters! They are meant to absorb minerals from the water and they do that VERY WELL.

GREAT PRODUCT!

We ordered our Enviracaire from Gaiam and these filters are the perfect replacement for the Enviracaire mineral filter pads.

I use these in a Vicks warm mist humidifier. I've purchased smaller packages (6-packs) for almost the same money but this is the best deal I've found. Well worth it.

I have ran the unit with and without the mineral pad and can honestly say that I am not sure the pads are worthwhile. The unit seemed to get dirty in the same amount of time.
