Replacement humidifier wicks - unavoidably necessary, December 21, 2008
BWF100 Bionaire Humidifier Wick Filter (3 Pack)
BWF100 Bionaire Humidifier Wick Filter (3 Pack){NOTE: the Holmes HWF100 & Bionaire BWF100 are interchangeable}I bought a bionaire humidifier that uses 2 of these wicks. They're a necessary evil, because the humidifer wont work without them.My humidifier (a Bionaire BCM645) is basically a glorified self-refilling water bowl, with a pair of wicks dangling down into the water in the lower backside of the unit ... the wicks absorb water upwards, and the humidifier (basically a vertical tube with an exhause fan up up equipped with a humidistat) draws airflow in crosswise through the body of the wicks down below in order to blow humidified air out the top ... it's a simple design that sorta works.The problem is that mineral deposits build up in these glorified (and overpriced) sponges, and they lose their ability to wick water upwards fast enough to keep up with the rate of evaporation ... the result is that they become dried out and crusty (and slowly stained with mildew), and only stay wet on the...

My humidifier takes two of these filters at once... the first thing that disappointed me was receiving 3 filters... I for some reason assumed this listing meant you receive a 3-pack as in "3 replacements worth"... but I was wrong, you actually get 3 filters when you buy this. For me, this is dumb, because my humidifier takes two of them, so I'm left with an extra filter... now I have to buy another 3-pack to make it even.The other thing that is a little weird is that this seller "cd_cellar4" doesn't include the original packaging when they ship these filters, you just get 3 filters stuck in an envelope, so there's no definitive way to be sure you received true Bionaire-brand filters, and not another knock-off brand. And, the postage they paid to ship the filters is clearly marked as $1.90 on the package, even though you get... | 7 | |
