Essick Air Products SGL1040 Humidifier Wick Filter 6-pack

Product Description

The ESSICK AIR PRODUCTS SGL1040 is a replacement wick filter designed for evaporative humidifiers. It uses Trapmax technology to capture airborne particulates and mineral deposits from water as it passes through the media, maintaining clean moisture output and protecting the humidifier from scale buildup. This filter is sold as a 6-pack, making it a practical choice for stocking multiple units or completing a full-season replacement schedule. HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals typically handle installation as part of routine humidifier servicing.

Evaporative humidifiers rely on a saturated wick to add moisture to conditioned air. As water evaporates through the wick, dissolved minerals are left behind in the filter media. Over time, mineral accumulation reduces airflow and evaporation efficiency. Regular replacement of the SGL1040 filter maintains proper humidity output and extends the service life of the humidifier unit. This filter is suited to residential and light commercial applications where whole-home or zone humidification is used in conjunction with a forced-air system.

Installation Notes

Wick filter replacement is a routine maintenance task typically performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Before replacing the filter, shut off power to the humidifier and close the water supply valve. Remove the old wick carefully to avoid spreading accumulated mineral deposits, and allow the housing to dry briefly before seating the new filter. Dispose of used filters per local regulations.
