Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use tap water for humidification?

Yes, you can, but it's not recommended for long-term use. Tap water contains minerals, which can easily cause limescale or white powder buildup over time, affecting performance. It's recommended to use purified water or distilled water whenever possible.

Q2: Why does white powder appear after using the humidifier for a while?

This is commonly seen in ultrasonic humidifiers, mainly because minerals in the water are atomized and released into the air. Using purified water usually significantly improves this problem.

Q3: How often should I clean my humidifier?

Under normal use, it is recommended to clean it 1-2 times a week. If the local water is hard, you can increase the cleaning frequency accordingly.

Q4: How often should the humidifier filter be replaced?

It is generally recommended to replace the filter every 2-3 months, depending on the frequency of use and water quality. If you notice the filter turning yellow, emitting an odor, or the humidification effect decreasing, please replace it promptly.

Q5: Can I add essential oils to the water?

It is not recommended. Regular humidifiers are not suitable for adding essential oils, as this may damage the internal structure of the machine. Only models specifically marked as "suitable for adding essential oils" should be used.

Q6: What causes the humidification effect to become weaker?

Common causes include limescale buildup, aging filter elements, and low water levels. Cleaning the machine or replacing the filter element usually restores normal function. 

Q7: How should I store the device if I won't be using it for a long time?

Please empty the water tank, clean it, let it dry completely, and then store it in a dry and well-ventilated place.
