Jeff, The filter is also the transport mechanism (a wick) to move the liquid up to the top of the filter where it contacts the ultrasonic vibrating "plate". If you take off the filter cartridge and open the "lid" and view the "plate" in front of a strong light on the other side of the plate, you will notice the "plate" is more like a very fine mesh screen and the liquid goes right through it and is ejected as a fine mist out from the top side of it.
I don't know if the CS particles make it up through the wick, or just eventually clog up the filter. The H2O plus silver ions will have no problem being "wicked-up" and converted to mist. My unit has quit for some reason. Guess in hindsight I would try to find an ultrasonic nebulizer that does not depend on a filter/wick to transport the CS to the ultrasonically vibrating element. --Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "sscsr1" <ssc...@grandecom.net> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2003 3:37 PM Subject: RE: CS>Walgreen's Personal Ultrasonic Humidifier > I just bought the personal ultrasonic humidifier from Walgreens.
