With it's convenient Top-Fill Design, refilling this home humidifier is a breeze. Different from other humidifiers needing tank removal, the EasyCare+ boasts a convenient and user-friendly top-fill design. This simple-to-use design features an extra-wide flip-top lid, making it easy to pour water directly into the tank or refill right at the sink. This means you won't have to worry about lugging heavy water tanks around when it comes time to refill!
As well as being easy to refill, this Vicks Humidifier is also easy to care for thanks to its Filter-Free Operation. It works by using ultrasonic waves to evenly disperse moisture throughout areas up to 400 square feet without the need for a filter. For this reason, this filter-free humidifier needs less maintenance and helps you save on filter-replacement costs. This makes it an excellent option for anyone who doesn’t want the inconvenience of purchasing replacement filters every few weeks. However, it is recommended that you use distilled water to help prevent the buildup of "white dust."

VapoPad Recommended Usage:
Water Quality and Your Humidifier
High mineral content in your water, also known as “hard water,” may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. This mineral residue is commonly referred to as “White Dust.” The higher the mineral content or hardness of your water, the greater the potential that you may have white dust. “White Dust” is not a result of a defect or flaw in the humidifier. It is a result of the amount of minerals suspended in the water you are using. If you live in a hard water area, the use of distilled water will minimize the production of white dust.
Weekly Cleaning:
It is recommended that you empty the Water Tank and Reservoir when the unit is not in use, rinse them, and let them air dry. To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended. To properly clean your humidifier, we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and Disinfecting shown below. These two processes must be performed separately.
