Purchased for annual replacement of the filter for my Bemis console humidifier. I've purchased these in the past less expensive, fits and works great!

This is the filter from the humidifier manufacturer, not one of those phony so called oem filters that are poor substitutes for the real thing. This filter lasts a few years, which is much more than the off brand replacements. And the price is great!

The Bemis/Essick H12 is one of the few humidifiers out there capable of helping in anything other than a closed, small room. I've been using mine for over 5 years now with no problems, although I have a second one that requires I crank the knob almost all the way up to get a normal setting.

That said, the filters I've gotten have usually lasted about half the winter, which in our climate means that I use two a year.

However, now I've gotten a water softener, and as promised by the softener companies, I can just clean off the filter once and it goes the whole winter.

I also use a bateriostat and occasionally a water treatment, both readily available for humidifiers of this evaporative type.

Honest reviews on Essick Air 1045 Replacement Console Wick

It's very difficult to find accurate information about wick replacement with the humidifier I bought here on Amazon. This goes for both the instruction manual, which is vague, and the Essick website. I should add that I found no helpful information on Amazon as well since wick 1041's product description states, "Replacement superwick for 400, 500, 600, ED-11 series" and wick 1045's product description states, "Replacement superwick for H12 series." You may note from the review title that I have a Essick Air H12-400HB 3-Speed Whole House Evaporative Console Humidifier, Oak Burl. So, from the product descriptions, both work. From the reviews, which are usually very helpful, no one has pointed out which one is correct.

If you have the same humidifier as me, you may be thinking, "Can't you tell from the wick images on Amazon?" Not really. If there were only two wicks and it was process of elimination, I'd know 1041 was most likely incorrect as it doesn't have the little bobber clip at the top (the thing that shuts the unit off when water is too low). But, the image here also isn't very clear. That may be it up at the top, and it may not. I can confirm after speaking with customer service that this one is the correct one for the H12-400HB whole house humidifier because it does indeed have that plastic piece that extends from the top of the wick to hold the bobber in place.

I hope this helps other folks out so they don't have to do the legwork that I did just to find a replacement wick! I've attached a customer image of the packaging this came in for visual reference.

I don't know what has happened to their wicks, I have used them for years and each winter season I would just have to replace them once. This year every 3 weeks I have to put a new one in because they stop absorbing the water and become hard as a board.
