Possible Causes

Using hard tap water with high mineral content, Missing or exhausted demineralization cartridge, Excessive output setting in small room

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: This is not a hardware failure but a water quality issue.

Steps:

  • Switch to low-mineral water: Use distilled, demineralized, or softened water in the tank.
  • Install or replace demineralization cartridge: Many BONECO ultrasonic models use a demineralization cartridge in the tank. Replace it according to the manual (typically every 2–3 months).
  • Reduce output: Lower the mist output setting to match room size and ventilation.
  • Clean surfaces and unit: Wipe white dust from surfaces and clean the humidifier base and transducer to remove mineral buildup.
