Bacteria Beware Mar 06, 2010
The ProTec cartridges do a very good job in reducing bacteria and mold growth in the water and on the humidifier element. Replacing the ProTec cartridge once a month gets us through an entire humidification season on a single element.

 Passes the "sniff test". Feb 15, 2010
I'm a medical professional and Mom of 3 kids. I researched this product extensively before using it. I thought I would share what I found: A clinical study was conducted in 2006, which showed this product was extremely effective at killing germs and mold in humidifiers (Journal of Water and Health, vol 4.2, 2006). Also, it's shown to be very safe and 100% natural (based on natural silver technology...the active ingredient in the cartridge is actually used in many drinking water filters found at the "big box" stores.) One point to mention: it doesn't remove minerals. If you get stains in your humidifier from iron in your water you'll need a demineralization product for that (or use filtered or distilled water). I use it and highly recommend it.
Pricey, not essential, but it does the job. Feb 12, 2010
At the end of the winter season when most of us use a humidifier, we must face the daunting task of cleaning the humidifier before storing it (until next winter).
If you have been conscientious about using a water anti-bacterial additive once a week, then the end of the season cleaning job will not be "too" bad. If not, well, this chore will be more demanding and time-consuming.
This is the first year I have used this product. It is a plastic cage that holds chemicals which promise to keep your humidifier clean. You simply put this thing in your humidifier water tank and the miracle happens. The manufacturer recommends replacing it every month or so. I bought two for our 4 month humidifier/winter season. That seems adequate.
This item looks like something we used to put in our dishwasher to keep the water from spotting... although I am sure the chemicals inside this thing are different.
Anyway, you want to know if it works and is it worth the price.
Yes it works. My humidifier IS cleaner than what it would be without it. Is it worth the price? That depends on the value you put on your time and how hard you are willing to work at the end of the humidifier season to the task of cleaning your humidifier before storing it. I think this "ProTec" product will make the job of cleaning your humidifier very fast and easy. Is that worth $10? That is up to you. What makes this a good investment is knowing your humidifier is being KEPT clean during the months you are using it.
Would I buy this "ProTec PC cleaning cartridge" next year? Yes, I would.

Standard replacement part for any humidifier Feb 10, 2010
Good product for any room humidifier. As always, Amazon make it simple to find replacement products such as these ProTec cartridges.
Keeps it clean Feb 05, 2010
It does what it says. Keeps the water from growing nasty things and smelling bad. They are worth the money to keep you from cleaning your humidifier as often.
