Armstrong HumidiClean™ humidifiers feature patented ionic beds, which are made of a fibrous medium that attracts solids from the water. This minimizes the buildup of solids on inner tank walls and heating elements. Once the ionic beds have absorbed their capacity, they can be changed in about 15 hassle-free minutes.
