The mineral dust remains trapped in the humidifier hot water reservoir. Use of Mineral Absorption Pads will play a major role in capturing and removing minerals from hot water reservoir, and preventing a stubborn mineral buildup. The useful life of the mineral absorption pad will vary, depending on the mineral content of the water used. In areas of moderate mineral content water supply, the mineral absorption pad should be changed after approximately weeks of continuous use. If the water is Hard Water, the pad should be changed more frequently. The best way to tell when the pad should be changed is to examine it AFTER the water has cooled down, to see if it is still soft and pliable. When the pad is near the end of its life, it becomes stiff and hard and should be replaced with a new pad. Another sign to change the pad is when scale begins to build up on the interior of the humidifier hot water reservoir.
