This functional little humidifier makes maintaining proper humidity levels easier than ever. Our humidifiers work by adding invisible moisture to your environment by moving dry air through a saturated wick. Maintaining proper humidity levels between 30-50% in your home/office/workplace has been scientifically proven to help prevent the flu and allergies. Proper humidity hydrates your skin, alleviates dry eyes, scratchy throats and can reduce snoring. It also protects fine furniture, musical instruments, collectibles and wood floors. Proper humidity makes you feel warmer allowing you to lower your thermostat setting which will save money. Use of a ceiling fan helps distribute moisture output. 2.5-gallon water capacity Up to 2600 square feet coverage Up to 8.2 gallon daily output 3-speed motor with digital controls and display Adjustable humidistat and automatic shut-off Water refill and check filter indicators Easy-fill water bottle Use of Essick Air 1970 bacteria treatment controls bacteria/algae build-up
