Air washer AQUARIUS White

Logically yes, but we design products that are intended to be economical in terms of energy consumption and the cost of replacement filters. Our goal is for your air purifier to be part of your daily life without being a source of concern. So you can leave it on while you air out the room, this has no significant impact on filter clogging.

Manufacturers indicate a filter life span because it is necessary information during the selection process. However, 2 pieces of information should be taken into account:

• For a combined filter with HEPA + activated carbon filtration: as soon as the filter is removed from its plastic packaging, the activated carbon will start to capture VOCs and other odors even if the air purifier is not turned on.
• The use of the air purifier plays a major role in the filter's life span. An air purifier that operates at maximum speed in a very polluted environment will have a shorter lifespan than one used at reduced speed in a cleaner environment.

In all cases, a light (often red) will tell you when to change the filter.

If your humidifier is leaking, it may be because:

• your humidifier's tank is not closed properly: the cap is not screwed on properly
• the tank cap seal fell off when filling and there is no longer a seal
• the tank is cracked or broken. To test this, you can fill your tank and place it on a tray. If there is water in the tray after a few minutes, it means that the tank is no longer watertight. As this part is not under warranty, to replace the tank, go to the page Spare parts.

Be careful, do not try to fill your humidifier from the top, unless it is a "top-fill" humidifier and this is specified in the instructions. Please note that it is normal for there to be a little water in the base of the tank, at the level of the ultrasonic plate.

Frequent use of a humidifier requires regular and careful maintenance, at least once a week if you use it very often.

To clean it, use white vinegar: in addition to being economical, it is the ideal product for eliminating limescale. There are also specific maintenance products, such as the Stadler Form cleaner and descaler Cleaner&Descaler which effectively preserves materials.

We recommend filling the tank with vinegar and water, then leaving it to act for 30 minutes before rinsing it. Just be sure to unplug it first and not wet the electronic components so as not to damage them and put yourself in danger.

In the case of an ultrasonic humidifier, clean the metal plate with a soft brush.

Finally, do not let water stagnate for more than 72 hours in the device to avoid any proliferation of bacteria.

Regular cleaning is required depending on the model. In all cases, you must disassemble the elements where water flows, the discs, and immerse them in a solution of water and white vinegar. We recommend mixing white vinegar with 50 to 60% water. Leave it to act for at least 10 to 20 minutes and rinse with clean water. The discs can also, depending on the appliance, be put in the dishwasher.

Both devices work by evaporation. The air washer works with washable discs, while the evaporator works with filters (also called cartridges) that must be replaced regularly. The difference is that the air washer does not need consumables and its filtration quality is better.

An air washer is a 3-in-1 device that can humidify, purify the air and diffuse essential oils. An air purifier only has one main function, that of purifying the air, that is, of ridding it of pollutants.

It prevents the proliferation of germs and bacteria in the tank so that the device diffuses the healthiest air possible.

The disc tray is not positioned correctly. Pull it out and push it back in.
