Running on highest fan speed with humidistat turned all the way up. How many times would I need to refill the water canister a day?

If it is 8 degrees outside it has taken up to 4 tanks, when it gets to 30 it takes 2. I have an old house ,run natural gas as heat if I don't run full speed all the time I wouldn't have very good humidity. The secret to that is change the filter every month.

it puts out 9 gals a day. each canister is 1.5 gals. plus the tank holds about 3 more gals.

My house is 3,300 and it's is more than enough. I would say "yes" you will be fine. It may take and extra day to humidify, but the end result will be great.

It depends on which setting you put it on. I usually have mine on 2 and-although it's noticeable- it's not any worse than a humidifier, or space heater. Even at 3 it's basically the same. I've never had it above 3 so couldn't say about the higher levels.

It would first depend on the square footage of your home. Either way I would not suggest this one. I would go back to a console and haul a bucket of water versus taking one or two containers provided to fill the humidifier up every morning. When you decide on one (larger version) you will notice a big change of moist air in your home.

I fill mine every day. I guess it all depends on how dry your air is; I don't know. I am very happy with mine.

Depends on what setting you have it on and how dry your room is. In my house with forced hot air which is really dry, I get about 24 hours per fill. I believe it is recommended that you fill it everyday with fresh water so expect that at least. I keep it on medium in our room which is 26x16. It does a good job of bringing the humidity up and cleaning the air.

The space I use mine is is approx 1/2 of what you described and on a really humid day (95+%) in California, this unit will take 3-5 hours to reduce the humidity to approx 55-60%. I have mine drain into my sink so I don't have to worry about emptying the container. I don't know the volume of moisture it removes but it is way more than the collection container can hold. It's very adequate for my needs. Puts out a little heat and a good stream of air off the condenser. Hope this helps.

Make sure the seal is tightened all the way; I purchased 2 humidifiers with no issues.

You should turn the humidity setting down using the arrow keys. I set my @ 30%.

The fan only switches mode after a quick on/off. I usually leave it in the auto mode, first turned on. It will speed-up as the humidity rises and later slow down or even shutoff if the humidity gets low. If you want it to run full speed just give it a quick on/off.

Three speeds. Low, med, and high output. On high, there is a ton of humidity coming out. Quite impressive. FYI, you set the percent humidity level you want. When it is reached, it shuts off. We have gone 5 days between filling the tank. Best humidifier we have owned. Will likely buy another. My dad just bought one because he loved ours. They heat with wood burning stove, and this will help him keep track of the humidity levels better.

No, you should get as big a humidifier as reasonably possible. The "whole house" claim is exaggerated. I live in a 1000 square foot condo and the two units I've tried, including this one, struggle to keep the humidity at 35% on a dry day. That's fine for me, but I wouldn't want anything less. Besides, there's no real down side with a humidifier that's more than you need. It will just humidify your space to the desired level quicker and shut off, requiring less frequent fill-ups. The fan is loud on the higher settings, but you can keep it at low. In fact, I wouldn't even bother with this one. I got a slightly smaller Honeywell Quietcare that was quieter and worked more reliably than this one. No, you should get as big a humidifier as reasonably possible.

Depends on house water. If you have good water, conditioned or water softener. It is real easy. Every second time you refill the water tanks just take the bottom part that holds the filter to the sink. fill the sink with water with the filter in the sink. with the drain plugged and run the water into the center of the filter to back flush the filter. After the water is running thru rinse the bottom part of the humidifier and the p2 cartridge. Put the filter and p2 cartridge back into the base when rinsed. take base and filter back where your using the humidifier, Refill the water tanks and install them, Your done. After a couple times you'll see how dirty the filter gets between rinsing and you can adjust the cleaning frequency to your house and water conditions. I have a water softener and only have to clean it about once a month. I DO TURN THE FILTER OVER every time I refill the water containers so the filter doesn't get dried out. If you have real hard water you will have to clean more often and probably replace filter if it gets too clogged up once in the middle of the season. That little blue plastic thing (P2 cartridge) in the bottom of the humidifier will help to control hard water too and you can get them at Wall Mart and other stores like that. I really like mine and first one lasted three years then I dropped it and broke it I now have my second one and am more careful not to drop it.

I replace mine once a month. You could probably go a bit longer if you don't have hard water and if you clean the humidifier once a week as recommended. I do a thorough clean only once a month and replace the filter at that time since it gets all gunky from both the dust it sucks in and the hard water build-up.

I use three of them in addition to the humidifier that came with my humidor. I try to obtain 70% humidity..... With that being said, I was given a larger humidor recently. The humidifier that came with it plus the three drymistat humidifiers would only raise the humidity to 62%. So, I ordered yesterday this in hopes it will help raise the humidity..... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PUWHJC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck!

Mine usually runs for 10-12 before I refill it. It's going to depend on the level of saturation you put it to.

Besides soaking a new filter for about 1/2 to 1 hour. There are 2-control knobs that will affect the amount of humidity in the air (white stream of air). The left control knob is the HUMIDITY and the right control knob is the On-Off and blower speed. I would start with both controls turned down or alll the way to the left. Turn (HUMIDITY) control fully on to the right or clockwise, the slowly try increasing the (ON-OFF) to the right (clockwise) until you see some white moisture coming out of the nozzle. Then it becomes a matter of ajusting both controls to the humidity and speed you desire.Howard Besides soaking a new filter for about 1/2 to 1 hour.
