Blinking red light

Pure Enrichment PEHUMIDIF Blinking Red Light: Check the Tank-Cap Seal

On PEHUMIDIF support, a blinking red light points to the tank-cap seal: check that the blue seal ring is installed correctly and is not missing.

Low mist / scale

Pure Enrichment PEHUMIDIF Has Low Mist Output

Scale on the ultrasonic disk can reduce mist output. Pure Enrichment recommends cleaning/descaling rather than scraping the disk.

White dust

Pure Enrichment PEHUMIDIF Is Leaving White Dust

Hard-water minerals can create white dust on this ultrasonic model. Distilled water is optional but can reduce mineral precipitation.

Water around unit

Pure Enrichment PEHUMIDIF Is Leaving Water Around the Unit

First rule out excessive mist output/room saturation and placement before assuming the tank leaks.

Bad smell

Pure Enrichment PEHUMIDIF Mist Smells Bad

Treat a stale or musty mist smell as a cleaning/water issue first: empty old water, clean the wet parts, rinse, and refill with fresh water.

Frequent scale / cleaning

Pure Enrichment PEHUMIDIF Needs Cleaning Too Often

Hard water can shorten the time between descales. Pure Enrichment recommends rinsing/air-drying between uses and says scale removal may be needed weekly or every other week.
