BestAir A10W Aprilaire 10 Paper Wick Waterpad



Right waterpad for my humidifier
My manual states this is the recommended and most efficient waterpad for my humidifier. I couldn't find this one locally a few years ago when I stocked up on waterpads at Lowes. This year, my humidity was dropping daily as winter set in. After these arrived, I put one in immediately, and started seeing improvement in humidity within a day. It's now the coldest month (February) and my humidifier is still keeping up, thanks to these waterpads.

Works better than original pad
I have a aprilaire 500 humidifier that uses this size pad and due to size restriction of area of furnace had to use 1 size smaller humidifier than I wanted (right on edge to use bigger) I bought this pad locally first and it is more efficient at raising to humidity in the house than the metal OE one. Only issue is will have to be replaced more often since it uses a fiber type pad which if you try to clean will fall apart but is small price to pay for better efficiency of unit.

easy to order - do not last too long
Found this third-party replacement after trying to find the filters in the stores. It fit just fine ... until it eventually crumbled after a year. My factory filter was good for 4 or 5 years with yearly cleanings. This one only lasted a year. More expensive than buying replacement from Lasko directly, but I haven't see what they ship (I am sure not the one that came with it originally).

does the job. Just buy several, one for each year.
