Filters for A Slant Fin Humidifier
Slant Fin Humidifier Filters
Looking for a Slant Fin Humidifier Filter?
Slant fin humidifiers use filters that are more commonly known as mineral absorption pads.
These pads are responsible for one of the most important features that a Slant Fin humidifier offers, which is capturing and sieving out minerals from the hot water tank.
This process helps to purify the air within a living space.
A standard pack of mineral absorbent pads includes six pads and each humidifier filter pad measures in at about 2 ¼ inches in diameter. Don’t worry too much about matching up the filter pads with the correct Slant fin humidifier as any original will fit the following models:
•GF-200
•GF-200B
•GF-210
•GF-210W
•GF-220
•GF-300
•GF-350
Keep in mind that not all Slant Fin humidifiers may use the standard size of mineral absorption pads. If this is the case, you can find larger absorption pads that are approximately 3 ¼ inches in diameter and are sold in packs of twelve. Various online stores and retailers such as Amazon sell mineral absorption pads for around $6.99 while the larger filters cost approximately $14.99
What exact role does mineral absorption pads play in the successful operation of a Slant Fin humidifier? Well, these filter pads are the first line of defense that gives any Slant Fin humidifier its famous ‘white dust free’ mist.
Therefore it is extremely important that you change them on a regular basis and even more if the individuals using the humidifier suffer from asthma or allergy symptoms. If you have hard water in your home, then I suggest that you buy these filters in bulk as you will more than likely need to replace them every two weeks.
How long does a mineral absorption pad last? Well, that all depends on the mineral content of the water used to fill up the Slant Fin humidifier. When the mineral and particulate matter present in the water is rather low or if distilled water is used, the mineral absorption pad should be changed after about three weeks of continuous usage.
Relax! Figuring out the mineral pad’s lasting duration isn’t an exact science, but the rule of thumb is if the water that you are using in your Slant Fin humidifier leaves ‘salt’ or other mineral deposit residue on your kitchenware, then you need to change the filter pad once a week. An extra tip to help with this issue is to add a water softening liquid in addition to using the filters for your Slant Fin humidifier.
Overall, a sure sign of the existing mineral absorption pad requiring replacement is when the pad becomes stiff and hard or if mineral salts build up on the interior of the hot water tank. If you take good care of your Slant Fin humidifier, the unit will provide you with years of comfort as well as purify the air you breathe in your home or office space.
Isn’t it about time you were concerned with the quality of air that you and the members of your family breathe in on a daily basis? After all, we are concerned with pollution outside; keep your family safe and comfortable with a Slant Fin humidifier.
