Which humidifier models fit the LARGE size?
The H2O 1.1 litre fit the large filter wicks. You may need to trim shorter to fit (easily done with scissors). Note the large is not the same as the standard or long wicks (the standard and long wicks fit the H2O Mini, 400, 500, 750, UP and Milkbox).
This is for ONE filter wick refill, which will last on average 3 months* Each measures 19cm long x 10mm diameter.
It's IMPORTANT when changing wicks in any humidifier, not to lose the small spring at the end of the wick cover. Without it your humidifier won't run properly. Always keep your old wick to match the length to trim your new wick.
*How long does a humidifer filter core wick last?
It varies depending on use, but a core tends to last 1 to 6 months, on average it's recommended you check and replace your core every 3 months (4 times a year). Running in a dusty or smoky environment will mean your core needs replacing more often. Harder water with higher mineral content can also shorten how often you need to change the wick as it helps prevent hard minerals blocking the mist outlets.
To extend the life of each core: keep surrounding surfaces wiped clean of dust, and floor area vacuumed / swept clean. You can also soak the filter in vinegar (just the filter, not the whole humidifier, always take the core out to soak it), about once a month to dissolve water deposits. Here's how to best care for your humidifier >
If you notice any mould or discolouration from dust / minerals etc, it's time to change the filter. Continuing to use a dirty or blocked filter can end up with dirt, dust or minerals making their way in to the filter itself and damaging your humidifier beyond repair. Look for yellowing or browning from the core and ends of the wick.
