The harder your water, the greater the amount of minerals in the water, and the more often you will need to change your filter. You will be able to monitor the life of the filter in your humidifier by checking the Filter CheckTM Indicator. When the unit is off, the Filter CheckTM Indicator will read in the OFF position. After 60 minutes of use, Filter CheckTM Indicator (refer to figure 5 for close-up of indicator) will move Figure 5 from the OFF position and indicate your filter condition. A brand new filter will register in the blue section reading GOOD filter. After frequent use of your humidifier, the Filter CheckTM Indicator will let you know when the filter needs to be changed.
