What filter/pad fits a Generalaire 950 humidifier?

Is the 1099-20 a wick or a furnace pad?

How often should I replace the 1099-20?

Should I buy the OEM filter or an aftermarket one?
The genuine Generalaire 1099-20 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.
