Always fill your Smart Humidifier with tap water unless your water supply is known to be high in mineral content. If your tap water is high in mineral content, to extend the life of the filter and support optimal performance, distilled or filtered water should be used. How do I choose which setting to put my Smart Humidifier on? Various environmental conditions and geographical locations impact the humidity level in your home. Optimal room humidity is 40%-50%. Both the App and the unit will display current ambient humidity level. The setting you choose will also determine how much output your Smart Humidifier will produce. Lower settings will produce less output than higher settings. For quiet operation, run on lower fan speed settings. What is the optimum humidity level that my house should be at?

The operation of a Smart Humidifier produces a fan like noise. Note the lower fan speed will produce a lower noise, but also a lower level of humidity output. There are several ways to reduce the noise, including making sure the Filter are installed correctly, all doors on the unit are fully closed, and keeping the bottom tray clean before filling the tanks. Make sure the unit does not vibrate against the floor, wall or nearby object. Why is my Smart Humidifier fan cycling? You have set the humidistat to a predesired level. Your room has achieved the desired level, therefore your Smart Humidifier fan cycles off. The Smart Humidifier will cycle on again once the humidity level has lowered. What is Cool Mist Evaporative Humidification? Your Holmes® Smart Cool Mist Evaporative Humidifier draws air through the air intake grill areas. The fan draws the water through the moisture laden wick Filter. This process reduces the water droplet size so small that it is not visible to the naked eye. This process in an effective means of adding moisture to your dry air home. There are several ways to tell that your Smart Humidifier is working. First, with use you will see the water levels go down in the tanks. Secondly, the ambient humidity reading will show you that this water is being dispersed into your home. 18 19
