I have one of those oasis humidifiers, it's like a film case with clay in it! Anyway, the directions were scratched off. How do I use it? I tried soaking it for five minutes and then poured out the excess water. Is that the right way to do it?
It depends on your environment. If you have a hydrometer, you can check the moisture level in the case. You should aim for 50-60%. I know Hercos are cheaper than Oasis, but you can always tell quickly when to refill the Oasis, because it shrivels up when it dries out. Lately I have had to refill every two weeks, but there might be some times when it is more frequent.it probably is then a herco. another question: how often do I need to redo the humidifier?
