Frequently asked

What filter/pad fits a Bemis AIRCARE EP9-800 humidifier?

The Bemis AIRCARE EP9-800 uses the 1043 (Replacement Humidifier Wick for Bemis, Essick Air #1043), a wicking filter.

Is the 1043 a wick or a furnace pad?

The 1043 is a portable-humidifier wicking filter, not a furnace water panel.

How often should I replace the 1043?

About every 2 months under typical use, or sooner if it's coated in mineral scale or mold, or airflow through it drops.

Should I buy the OEM filter or an aftermarket one?

The genuine Bemis 1043 is the safe, exact-fit choice. A cheaper aftermarket wick or pad can fit the same slot too - check reviews for real-world fit and how well it wicks water before buying, since humidifier filters aren't independently certified the way NSF-listed water filters are.
