Essick Air 1970 Humidifier Bacteriostatic Treatment

Product Description

The ESSICK AIR 1970 is a bacteriostatic water treatment additive formulated to control bacteria and algae growth inside evaporative humidifiers. Added directly to the water reservoir at each fill cycle, it inhibits microbial buildup that can cause odors and reduce unit efficiency. HVAC technicians and service pros add this treatment during routine humidifier maintenance to extend equipment service life and keep systems operating cleanly. At a dose of approximately 1/6 fluid ounce per gallon of water, one bottle treats multiple fill cycles without complicated measurement.

This treatment is designed for use in evaporative humidifiers commonly found in residential HVAC systems. It is applied at fill time and repeated with each refill to maintain continuous protection. Regular use prevents the slime and odor buildup that shortens pad and reservoir life in whole-home and portable evaporative humidifier units. Technicians often include this product as part of a seasonal startup or annual maintenance kit for humidifier-equipped air handling systems.
