1. What is a humidistat and what is its function on the humidifier? A humidistat is a device that monitors the humidity in the room and automatically turns on or off the humidifier to achieve the desired humidity level. This function on the humidifier keeps it from putting too much water into the air.
2. Do all humidifiers have humidistats? No. Many humidifiers simply run until you turn them off. This can create an environment where the air has too much humidity, which can lead to various problems.
3. Why are Hunter humidifiers called "Care-Free™ Humidifiers"? Hunter has designed a number of patented features into their humidifiers which prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on the plastic parts and wicks.*
4. Why are Hunter humidifiers low maintenance? The use of bacteriostat liquids and demineralizers, often needed to keep other humidifiers clean and operating efficiently, to protect key internal parts are not required*. In addition, the Care-Free™ Humidifier Plus permanent wick never needs replacement, saving both time and money.
5. What is the Regulated Release™ System? Hunter has designed the humidifiers to only allow the optional amount of water out of the tank and into the reservoir. This design eliminates stagnant water while preventing the build up of mineral residue that can clog the filter and impede performance.
* Antimicrobial agents in the Care-Free™ Humidifier and the Care-Free™ Humidifier Plus protect key internal parts only. The antimicrobial protection does not extend to users of this product.
