Frequently asked

What filter/pad fits a Generalaire 950 humidifier?

The Generalaire 950 uses the 1099-20 (Generalaire 1099-20 Evaporator Pad), a furnace/whole-house water panel.

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

The 1099-20 is a furnace/whole-house humidifier water panel, not a portable-unit wick.

How often should I replace the 1099-20?

We don't have a manufacturer-listed replacement interval for the 1099-20 - a common default is once per humidifying season, or sooner if it's visibly scaled or discolored.

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.
