Hello FREIDA GRAYDEN,

If you are not TOTALLY SATISFIED... and that has
the SHARPER IMAGE price tag...
(in y opinion... I would return it to SHARPER IMAGE
and us the REFUND to buy 3 to 5 equivalent units ...
(like HoMedics) for a whole lot LESS...!!
(in my opinion)).

More units... less WATER spritzing around =
HAPPY FREIDA (I think).

I sincerely believe... the "chalky" you speak of is
merely a product of the CALCIUM level in your
water... and a mist type of humidifier. Nothing
wrong with your humidifier (follow owner manual
cleaning instructions) BUT what you see is normal
Sharper Image EV HD15 Instruction Manual Page 3

THE VISIBLE "mist" Your humidifier puts out are
solid water drops... It WILL mark whatever it
lands on...

I think there ARE things you could try...
Obviously turning down the humidifier to
merely moist... rather than SPRITZING water
on everything (solid/visible).

Spread the load between multiple machines
(as described above)

Perhaps...filtered water might help

Dietary CALCIUM is a very good thing... and humidity
is much more warm and comfortable... but the combination
is going to give you those SAME results...

But at those SHARPER IMAGE prices I would
expect YOU to be TOTALLY SATISFIED.

Carnac the Magnificent

My Guess is that the reletive humidity in the room is not low enough to see any vapors coming from the machine. Normaly you won't see these anyway. Some models in the stores seem to make more mist than what you get at home. If the humididty level in a room is close to what is coming out of the machine there will be no signs of any mist coming out. Just make sure the filters are clean and check and make sure the water level is going down on the machine and this will tell you its workin. the faster you are using the water in the tank the more you are putting in the air! If this is a hot mist machine then I would say the heating element in the machine is not working.

ask at http://manualfox.com/link/sunbeam.htm
They will find it for you.

Turn on furnace and urn up humidistst to call for it. Tube from solenid to the filter should have water running if water is up to the valve and solinoid is opening . It should be warm to your touch., Using an ohm meter you can sheck the coil it shuold have continuity.

You can use distilled water to fill your humidifier that would save your filters.
Or you can try soaking your filter in a 50-50 water and white vinegar solution to try and clean them to use again.

Good Luck.

According to the manual, there may be a problem with your water level sensor. According to the manual:
- Ensure that water level sensor is assembled properly.
- Clean water float.
- Call service center and request replacement water float.

I scanned in the page from the manual that shows how to dismantle, clean, and reassemble the water level sensor here.

If that doesn't work, you can try contacting the manufacturer:

Q: My unit has been running for several hours. I hear the fan spinning, but I do not notice the water level in the tank decreasing.
A: First, check the filter to ensure it is wet. If the pad appears dry, remove it from the Base and gently rinse under cool water. Reposition wet filter in the Base. You may also want to note the current moisture level in your home. If the humidity level is over 60% the unit will not put out much moisture
as your air is already saturated.

UV bulb and filter are user replacement items

Comment by Soulvisitor, posted on Jan 20, 2008 If water level in tank is dropping and fan runs then I'd say it is working.

OK?
Comment by Soulvisitor, posted on Jan 20, 2008 Q: I hear the fan turning, but I don’t see any mist. Is my humidifier operating properly?
A: Dry air is pulled through the system and a fan disperses invisible, moisture balanced air. There is no
“mist” emitted. When operating normally you will feel only cool air coming from the unit. Monitor the
water level in your Tank/ Base. If you notice a decrease in the Water Tank over 24 hours then the unit
is operating normally.
