New for 2011 - Honeywell went cheap on this filter
If you live in a dry place or a place where your heating system dries out the air in your house in the winter, you probably rely on one or more humidifiers to keep your home comfortable and shock free. I have been using a Honeywell machine with this filter for three years now. Each winter I purchase about 10 of these filters to last the whole heating season. However, this year I noticed something new. Honeywell had clearly reduced the bulk of these filters. When I installed them I noticed the first night they were operating at about 50% less capacity than the very same filters I purchased last year. The older version used a full tank of water overnight when new, while this version uses only a half tank. That means a dried out nose in the morning, dry skin and static electricity that sends the cat running anytime you touch it. Thanks Honeywell for taking what was a good reliable product and making it ineffective. If you don't want to replace your humidifier, look for an aftermarket filter. That is what I am going to do.
