What's the orange stuff that builds up in the heating chamber? It's hard to take off. I noticed if after first use.

Thank you for your inquiry. This is mineral deposits from your water. As your water is boiled away, the minerals are left behind and solidify on the heating element. We advise cleaning the minerals off by following the descaling instructions that come with the unit, as well as watching this video with easy to follow cleaning instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2ww_O1iwBM. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com. Thank you.

Can you turn off the night light function on this unit?

The light cannot be turned off. This lets you know if the unit is running and if it has entered into automatic shut-off mode. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com. Thank you.

DOES IT NEED A FILTER?

Thank you for your inquiry. This unit does not require a filter, but we do advise weekly cleaning to keep minerals from building up. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com. Thank you.

Does this help in dry stuffy noses and dry throats during the night?

Absolutely! I whip this out the second the weather gets dry which is a lot here in New Mexico. I have allergies and it helps with those and helps the pollen in my house fall to the ground. My nose and throat get so dried out taking antihistamines dries me out more but this really helps. It also helps your home to have the humidity in there. I have them everywhere I am and it helps keep our house, walls, etc. from getting to dry and cracking.
