Surprisingly, these cartridges actually work in significantly reducing organic build-up. The only problem is that they can slightly discolor the tank of your humidifier where they rest on the bottom. My blue tank turned gray in spots.

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*

I was given a Honeywell HCM 645 for Christmas last year after searching high and low for a Kaz. Honeywell I found out is made by Kaz. (I grew up with that brand being used and recommended by my ENT and the Hospital I frequented as a child) My humidifier came with the Pro Tec Cartridge, which I used and was happy with and had absolutely no problem with browning of the water. That usually only happens when you leave the humidifier sit for long periods not in use without cleaning it. You have to either run them constanly or clean them constantly.

I have only used these for my cool mist humidifiers so far (will try these in my warm mist ones during winter) and they do seem to significantly reduce mildew and odor from formining in the tank. Therefore, I do not have to clean humidifier daily - every 3 days is fine. However, there is a dark film that does form in parts of the humidifier that is tough to remove. It is not mold or mildew. Instead, it seems like hard water stains. Otherwise, the item does work fairly well.

Product is just what I needed, but shipping charges were out of sight, never again. Could ship the product by UPS for a little over one dollar.

thank you- this is a tough product to find on the shelves. I have never understood why a company would sell a product (humidifier) but then NOT carry the components needed to make it run.

I was very skeptical because I have tried many kinds of liquid water treatments and they work OK but not great.
I decided to try these cause they looked so easy and they really are!
I have been using them in 2 humidifiers for about 2 months and they have helped tremendously with the scale build up we get here from the water.
They have helped keep the fiters much cleaner than usual.
I highly recommend them!

A wonderful cartridge that I use with the solution to keep the water clean and safe in the humidifier. An added piece of mind for parents.

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.
