Product Reviews of Crane Demineralization Filter Cartridge for Crane Frog, Cow, Pig, Panda, Penguin and Elephant Cool Mist Humidifiers
Product Review: Useful but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the Crane Penguin humidifier about 2 months ago. The filter arrived about a week later. My experience applies to people using HARD TAP WATER. So far I've found that, although the filter helped with keeping the humidifier a bit cleaner (I clean it once a week with diluted bleach for the tank and vinegar for the base), it only seemed to work to reduce white dust (from hard water minerals) for just over a month, using the humidifier at a low or medium setting. I'm considering using distilled water instead - it might work out cheaper than having to replace the filter every couple of months. I would definitely advise to keep the original cap for the tank and try the humidifier with and without filter.Product Review: If you have hard water, you probably want this filter.
Summary: 5 Stars
We have hard water and all humidifiers that I have used in the past have left a chunky or dusty white coating around the mist dispenser area of the humidifier. I did not have that problem with the Crane and I believe it is because I bought the filter with the device and used it right away.Product Review: Just OK
Summary: 2 Stars
My advice is to keep the original cap in case you decide this filter is not for you.
It managed to stop mineral deposits from building up further on the side of the resevoir, but the water gained a musty smell after a 15 gallons/three weeks of use. I sanitize with chlorinated water bi-weekly.
It was especially apparent in warm heated rooms. The risk of bacterial growth outweighs the benefits of the filter for me and I do not recommend this product.
Product Review: great for hard water
Summary: 5 Stars
The water in my area is horrible and every time I use a humidifier it would build up and die. This filter works. It save me the time and hassle of buying a new humidifier because the hard water in my area. Great for my babies penguin humidifier.Product Review: I haven't noticed much of a difference
Summary: 3 Stars
I've used the humidifier with and without the cartridge, and haven't noticed much of a change. Either way, it's cheap enough that I don't care.
