Product review (5 stars): Best wicks/filters for our 2 Essick EA1407 Humidifiers! Tried the rest these are the best.
BestAir ES12 wicks for our 2 Essick EA1407 Humidifiers. We have used the accordion type paper wicks and compared them with this honeycomb type one in each humidifyer. Tested the paper accordion vs honeycomb at the same time since we have 2 humidifiers. This honeycomb paper with stainless screen stiffener out performs the accordion type. Here is why the honeycomb delivers more wicking moisture and allows the humidifyer to cycle on and off when set at 50%. The accordion paper causes the humidifyer to run all day and night never reaching the 50% humidity level. We are so glad we found this brand of  wicks since we have the humidifyer working correctly.  We are more comfortable now while saving the extra cost of electricty because the humidifyer cycles on and off. Seems to stand to reason in my mind that honeycomb wicks would work better than solid paper wicks.  We have been using a cap full about 1oz of food grade hydrogen per oxide per water container to prevent mold successfully for years.
