Essick Air Products 1040 Humidifier Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The ESSICK AIR PRODUCTS 1040 is a replacement humidifier wick filter sold in a two-pack. It uses Trapmax technology to trap airborne particulates and mineral deposits that accumulate during normal humidifier operation. This filter sits inside an evaporative humidifier, drawing water up through the media so a fan can blow air across it and distribute moisture into the living space. HVAC technicians and service pros install these filters as part of routine humidifier maintenance, typically at the start of each heating season or whenever airflow or output drops noticeably.

This filter is designed for evaporative humidifier units where wicking media must be replaced periodically to maintain rated moisture output. Mineral buildup from hard water accelerates filter degradation, making replacement more frequent in regions with high water hardness. The two-pack format supports back-to-back seasonal replacements or stocking a spare on the service truck. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data, so verify fitment against the humidifier unit model before ordering.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or qualified service professional should handle humidifier maintenance. Shut off power to the humidifier and close the water supply valve before removing the existing filter. Dispose of the spent filter and rinse the water panel tray to remove loose mineral scale before seating the new filter.
