is dependent on numerous variables such as:

✔  Air exchange in the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔  Room construction of the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔  Temperature of the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔  Humidity levels in the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔  Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of 

doors in the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔  Home furnishings in the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔  See Daily Maintenance instructions. Regular cleaning is 

recommended.

✔  Run your unit on the lowest setting.

✔  If your unit has electronics, set it to your desired humidity 

level. The unit will turn on and off, which will extend the run 
time.

✔  Fill the tank all the way full, place it on the base, let the 

water empty into the base until it stops bubbling, then refill 
the tank full again. This ensures maximum water capacity 
and will extend run time.
