Possible Causes

Mineral scale on transducer, Clogged mist outlet or chimney, Dirty water filter cartridge, Low water level over transducer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug and empty the unit before cleaning.

Steps to improve mist output:

  • Clean transducer: Soak the disc area with white vinegar for 10–15 minutes and gently scrub off scale. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Clean mist outlet: Remove any mist chimney or nozzle and rinse it under warm water. Use a soft brush to clear any deposits.
  • Replace water filter: If your Homedics model uses a demineralization cartridge, replace it if it is older than the recommended interval or visibly discolored.
  • Check water level: Ensure the tank is full and water fully covers the transducer during operation.
