From the manufacturer
Evaporative Humidification Technology
- Water is poured into the removable tank.
- Water from the tank flows into the reservoir.
- The wicking filter absorbs water from the reservoir and becomes saturated.
- Dry air from the room is pulled into the humidifier through the intake grills.
- Moisture evaporates off the saturated wicking filter.
- Filtered invisible moisture is pushed into the room with the help of a fan.
NOTE
Essential oils should not be used in the tank of any humidifier – the oils can damage the humidifier. Only water should be put in the tank of the humidifier.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I noticed that this brand is what Vicks recommends on their web site for replacement filters, so I was very pleased to see a reasonably-priced 3-pack, and it turns out that they are the perfect fit for the Starry Night humidifier! Note that you do need to carefully place the filter in the tray inside the unit. It is a bit snug, so don't be alarmed - that is exactly what you want for it to work.
One additional tip: many people complain about the filters in this unit not lasting long or developing mildew or foul smells fairly quickly. This two-step process works for me to keep them lastly about a month:
1) I take the filter out of the unit each day to air dry and then re-moisten it under running water at night before putting it back in.
2) When I start noticing mineral build-up, I let the filter soak in a 50% vinegar/50% water solution to remove it. I then rinse it thoroughly to get the vinegar out before using it again.
Following Vicks' recommendations for using vinegar and bleach to clean and sanitize the main unit and water tank help a great deal, too (see the manual for details). Of course, if you still notice mildew even after doing all this, you should immediately replace the filter.
Feb. 25, 2024 UPDATE: Here's one more tip I discovered through experimentation to help these filters last longer. If you can determine roughly the exact amount of water you need in the tank to last overnight (in my case of running it at high speed, a little under half the tank will do), you can then keep it on for an extra hour after your kids get up in order to thoroughly dry out the filter. The cool-air humidifier normally works by having a fan blow air through the wet filter, so doing this is like having a little hair dryer focused on the damp filter to dry it out. You still may want to occasionally let it soak in a water/vinegar mix to dissolve any mineral build-up, but I found that this little trick does wonders for keeping mildew away and letting the filter last longer.
