I had a heating and plumbing guy come in and take a look at my furnace. He recommended replacing just the humidifier pad, an quoted me $198 to do it. I thought I'd poke around and see how much one of these bad boys cost a la carte. Not very much, it turns out. I think I saw this for $10 or $20 all by itself, but then noticed this whole maintenance kit for about $40 after shipping. Aprilaire's official website had it for sale, too, but for a higher price. I compared the two items and it appears that this kit has the same stuff as the one sold on the Aprilaire site. Either way, when I got the humidifier pad, it came with Aprilaire branded packaging. The other items were more or less loose in the box, but they were all the right parts. As I was replacing the humidifier pad (a $200 job, per the heating guy), I could easily see where the other parts fit into the assembly. I used all the parts in the kit except one. It took me about an hour. The kit came with the same instruction booklet that you can find as a PDF online, which was very handy.
I'll probably buy more of these and do this once a year. Maybe not replace all the additional parts, but at least the pad.

After using my Aprilaire 560 humidifier for over 10 years, the feed tube became brittle and had leakage problem. Bought this maintenance kit from Filters-Now, replaced all the brittle plastic parts and feed tube on my humidifier, my humidifier gets a new life now and I expect it to run for another 10 years without problem. By using this maintenance kit, first, I don't have to buy a new humidifier. Second, it gives me a saving of at least $150 ($84 for a serviceman visit + parts replacement).

Product works well. Was concerned when I first received it as the manual did not list my series # but after inspecting the parts saw that it was the correct kit. Was easy to install, the manual ended up being useless.

Installed the kit in less than half an hour and it worked properly when turned on. Wish I had ordered this several years ago as I had left the humidifier off for several years because the old filter was too bad to work.
