Customer Reviews

It works.
After paying well over a hundred dollars for a humidifier, I got so tired of the sloppy job of cleaning slime out of it that I was almost ready to throw the thing away. After replacing its $15.00 filters (every 3 months) that seem to do about nothing, it didn't seem worth the cost and effort to keep it operating. The unit's instructions advised me not to use any additives but just clean the thing about every filling and keep replacing those filters as directed. So, since I was going to throw the thing out anyway, I tried one of these cartridges.

It worked. It's been about a month, and the slime is starting to come back, but that's supposed to be the effective life of the cartridge. The humidifier survives. I still have to clean it, but the task is now infrequent and easier.

So, it does what it's supposed to do; does it for as long as it's supposed to do it; hasn't harmed the over-priced humidifier; and is good for the environment as long as it keeps this humidifier out of a landfill.

it is an expensive unnecessary
The cartridge costs about $5 and last only 20 days before the filter and the cartridge starting reek. However, I found that Holmes Bacteriastat cost
about $7 and could last for a season and it also extended the life of the filter.

My suggestion is to buy the Bacteriastat.

Doesn't Fit with all humidifiers.
This product will not fit if you have a vornado humidifier or planning to buy one. The cartridge has a shape of a ball about an inch. The tank for the vornado has a very small opening. If only I knew, I wouldn't have purchased one. I just gave the cartridge to a friend and she said it works great.
