1970-2 Humidifier, 2-Quart Bacteriostatic Treatment, 2 Pack (1970-2)

I’ve been using the Essick Air 1970-2 Humidifier Bacteriostatic Treatment in my AIRCARE humidifier a couple of times a day, and it works great at preventing bacterial growth and keeping the air clean. It’s a solid product that helps maintain the performance of my humidifier and prevents any unpleasant odors from forming.However, the only complaint I have is the smell. While it’s not overpowering, there is a slight scent that I find a little off-putting. It's not too strong, but I do wish it had a more neutral or pleasant fragrance.That said, it’s still an effective treatment, and I would recommend it for anyone looking to keep their humidifier in good working condition. Just be aware of the scent if you're sensitive to fragrances!

Have used this product for years. It was recommended to me by a relative who found it to be the best. I certainly agree.

Seems to work well.Many customers seem concerned with the toxicity of this product but I have no issues with it at all and it seems to work very well and it is relativeley inexpensive. A bottle should last at least one heating season.

You are suppose to use 1/6 of an ounce or 1/8 a capful per gallon. There are no marking or graduations on the cap so you have to eyeball it. One star off for that. First time using it so I don't know yet how well it works.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:If you have an evaporative humidifier you need to get this stuff to keep it from getting gross. We used this every time we filled up our humidifiers this year and it kept the humidifiers from growing any mold or even from getting any musty smells.

This product is the perfect Essick Air Humidifier Bacteriostatic Treatment for this brand of humidifiers. I have been using this brand for many years now and have not had any problems.

This product works flawlessly. Using it is essential to human health and humidifier longevity. Bacteria and algae will absolutely grow and be introduced into the air without appropriate treatment (bad for human and pet health; also icky smells). This product is odorless and makes humidifier upkeep a breeze by extending wick life and eliminating biofilms (bacteria sludge). Despite its terrifying label, the treatment solution is essentially a cleaning product comparable to ammonia that we all keep under our kitchen sinks. The warning label might actually keep people from being too casual with the product, which should be treated like bleach or ammonia—with care. The dose makes the poison: this treatment must be diluted at approx 1:1000 (0.16 fl. ounces per gallon of water). If you are smelling chemicals, that is a sign that the product wasn’t diluted and was allowed by flawed equipment or improper use to evaporate undiluted (or that waaaaay too much product was used). Using this product reduces the use of other potentially harmful and annoying products, like bleach. The alternative to using this bacteriacide in an evaporative humidifier is weekly hour-long cleanings with bleach and shorter wick life. (Note: household bleach has the same dire safety warnings about wearing gloves and goggles; Essick Air and Clorox are both OSHA cat 1 & 2 hazards (eyes/skin). Food for thought.) I’ve used this product for three long winters, eyeball the measurement, and have never experienced a problem. Humid air reduces airborne bacteria, mold spores, virus particles, and allergens. A properly working humidifier needs a bacteria- and algae-free reservoir/water source. This product works great without any pool chemical odors!

Easy to use. Keeps humidifier clean
