Customer Reviews of ProTec PC-1 Humidifier Tank Cleaning Cartridge (Pack of 1)
Customer Review: Passes the "sniff test".
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a medical professional and Mom of 3 kids. I researched this product extensively before using it. I thought I would share what I found: A clinical study was conducted in 2006, which showed this product was extremely effective at killing germs and mold (aka "slime") in humidifiers (Journal of Water and Health, vol 4.2, 2006). Also, it's shown to be very safe and 100% natural (based on natural silver technology...the active ingredient in the cartridge is actually used in many drinking water filters found at the "big box" stores.) One point to mention: it doesn't remove minerals. If you get stains in your humidifier from iron in your water you'll need a demineralization product for that (or use distilled water). This product does what it claims. We use it at home and I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Not Impressed

I have a Honeywell humidifier that is on my personal top 10 "must have" items. I figure with these cartridges the performance could only improve. I was wrong. There is NO improvement in the cleanliness of the tank or the filter area. The water actually smells funny with the cartridge in. Plus, I have noticed that the little beads inside fall out, and are reported to be harmful to pets and animals. They're so little it's hard to see them. Not a huge deal to me, but I'm sure it could pose a problem to someone.
All in all, I would rather purchase purified water, or get a water filter for my sink for the water to use in the humidifier than use these, since there is no real difference.
Customer Review: Never would have expected this to work

BUT IT DOES! We bought a Honeywell humidifier and it came with a free cartridge. We tossed it in and forgot about it. A month and a half later, my husband decided to change the filter and, as the thirty day life of the cartridge had expired, he tossed it. We could not find a replacement in a local store, so we just didn't worry about getting another one. Two weeks later the humidifier started smelling toxic. We removed the cover and filter to find slime everywhere! After only two weeks! These little cartridges are definitely good investments, given the cost of filters these days!Customer Review: Extends Filter Life
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an evaporizing humidifier. I dropped one of these in the tank and my filter was good for almost a month. The indicator barely moved. I removed the cartridge from the tank and intended on getting a new one from the store. I put it off and forgot and my filter was bad by the end of the week. My new filter only lasted 2 weeks without the cartridge. This cartridge extended my filter life by almost double. Probably would have been longer if I had replaced the cartridge sooner. $30.00 later & replacing my filter AGAIN I'm buying more of these. They definitely help.Customer Review: It's a small price to pay....

Year after year I seemed to get really bad colds and my allergies were out of control. I was always looking for ways to cut down the number and severity of the colds. A friend suggested the ProTec Humidifier Tank Cleaner. Since using it, I can tell a difference! I've had less colds and feel great that my air is better for me and everyone around me. It's a small price to pay for better heatlh! I'm going to suggest we use these at the office too!
