ESSICK AIR HUMIDIFIER BACTERIA TREATMENT - 1970 (Pack of 12)

Good product, bad bottle, helpful solution
I agree with the other posts that this is a good product in an amazingly BAD bottle. It's true that you can't really pour from this bottle without a lot of dripping, plus it's impossible to pour a precise amount.

However, I came up with a great solution that I'd like to share. I used an empty bottle of ACT mouthwash-- some of the ACT varieties (not all) use a built-in dispenser that has a straw that extends down to the bottom of the bottle. When you squeeze the plastic bottle, mouthwash fills a small cup that's built-in at the top of the bottle, just where the cap screws in. It is easy to pull out this contraption with pliers, and then fill the empty mouthwash bottle with the humidifier solution.

Then, when you want to add the solution to thew water container, simply squeeze the mouthwash bottle and fill the little built-in cup about half or two-thirds, then easily pour it into the water container. Voila! No muss, no fuss.

Use It Exclusively
Now for the second year, I use this product exclusively. From October through March, my humidifer gets a workout, being used at least every night in the bedroom. This product keeps the humidifer clean, smelling good, and appears to exdend the filter wick life. I have had no sinus infections for the second year in a row - and used to have them on a regular basis. Of course, I have nothing scientific to prove its the ant-bacteria treatment, but that's the only thing different I am doing as far as air quality treatment in the bedroom.

Great product. Deceptive Amazon ad
The treatment works extremely well. After a horrible experience using our humidifier with no treatment, it works very well now. No more odor from the filters. Note that we did install new filters when we began using the treatment. We did not feel the existing filters could be salvaged. Regarding what others mentioned, the bottle is a terrible design.

For a product label that warns of irreversible skin or eye damage you'd think the design would be drip-proof - it is not. Pour carefully and have a cloth/paper towel handy to absorb drips from the spout. Also, I strongly suggest that you add the treatment after filling the humidifier/bottle...then stir or shake. if you add the treatment first, it'll foam quickly and you'll end up with a lot of suds.

We give the product itself 5 stars. We would give Amazon zero stars if we could.

I ordered what was supposed to be a 12-bottle case of Essick 1970 treatment product through Amazon. The ad clearly says a "case...
