The Care Free
®
Humidifier Plus Evaporative
Humidifier has a unique patented design with
several innovative features:
• Low Maintenance
– Other humidifiers
have paper filters that need to be replaced
e v e r y f e w m o n t h s . O u r e x c l u s i v e
PermaWick™ filter saves time and money.
It’s designed to last season after season,
saving up to $45 a year. No wet paper
odors either.
• Regulated Release™ System
– By dis-
persing water from the top of the
PermaWick™ filter, stagnant water around
the PermaWick™ filter is eliminated, and
the buildup of mineral residue that can clog
the filter and impede performance is elimi-
nated.
NOTE:
The filter 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™ filter
have built-in antimicrobial properties to in-
hibit 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
plastic and PermaWick™ filter in the hu-
midifier. These properties do not extend to
the water, humidified air or users. Conduct
routine cleaning and maintenance based
upon use and individual conditions.
