Essick Air 1051 AirCare Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This hangs on the back of the Essick/Bemis unit. I buy about one for every heating/humidifier season.
It WILL cut down on the amount of dust and crud entering the back of the unit and contaminating the saturated wick that is used to humidify.
As you well know with this unit, the cleaner and better quality the wick unit (1041) is, the better the unit will humidify.
It's not designed to be like a vacuum cleaner and suck particulate matter out of the air, but it WILL prevent air-borne particles from contaminating the wick unit and for that reason, I think it's worthwhile.
Additional: If you have seasonal allergies like I do, I found running the humidifier in the spring helps lessen them. Now while another reviewer says they found no cat hair on the filter, compare the relative size of the pollen allergen to a cat hair. Frankly I don't have cat hairs flying around a foot or more above the floor, either...
Yes, this is an 'optional' AIR PURIFYING FILTER per the manufacturer, but if you suffer from seasonal allergies, then you'll know why this is important...
As a hint, change your wick element OFTEN, but one of these may last you all season...
