Where should I place my Carepod One Plus?

Carepod One Plus is designed for rooms up to 500 square feet, so make sure your space isn’t too big or too small for optimal results. 

Tips for ideal performance

  • Place your Carepod on a nightstand, table or stool.

  • Make sure the flat surface is at least two feet above the floor. This height allows for ideal mist circulation.

  • Lastly, position your Carepod where it’s easy to access. 

Don’t forget to keep in mind

  • Avoid aiming the mist close to wooden furniture or sensitive materials, like artwork or electronics. 

  • Setting your Carepod up in a bedroom? If aiming mist towards the bed, place it at least three feet away. Or aim away towards the room for best circulation + comfort.

  • Lastly, take care to avoid extreme temperatures — don’t set your Carepod humidifier near direct sunlight, heaters, or stoves.

What do the buttons on my Carepod One Plus do?

From left to right: Mist/Mood Light, Power, Timer/Dark Mode

Mist

The Mist button allows you to change the intensity of mist. Tap the button to choose between low, medium and high.

Mood Light

The Mood Light button allows you to turn on the light and select a color. To turn on the Mood Light, tap and hold the button for about 2 seconds.

To choose a color, continue holding the button down to cycle through seven color shades.

Release the button to set your desired mood light color.

Power

The Power button allows you to turn on and off your humidifier. Press this once to turn your Carepod One Plus on. If the water tank is full, it will initiate hydration with Level 3 Mist, as indicated by the white LED light.

To stop humidification, press the Power button again. Your Carepod will automatically shut off after 30 seconds. Please note that the Power LED light will turn red when it detects a low water level in your humidifier.

Timer

The Timer button lets you set a run time for the humidifier. Tap the button to cycle to the next level of duration.

Level 1: Four hours

Level 2: Six hours

Level 3: Eight hours

The LED indicator lights will change as time passes to indicate how much time is remaining. If you don’t set the Timer, the humidifier will continue running until water is low. It will automatically turn off when only 2 inches of water remain to protect the self-floating oscillator wand.

Dark Mode

The Dark Mode button will turn off all lights.

To turn on Dark Mode, tap and hold the button for about 2 seconds. The button lights and Mood Light band will turn off.

To exit Dark Mode, simply tap any button on the humidifier’s control panel.

What type of water should I use in my Carepod One Plus?

For the best results, use distilled or filtered water in your Carepod humidifier. 

Tap water often contains minerals and impurities that can leave residue and affect hydration quality. Using regular tap water in your humidifier can also result in device issues over time. 

Warning: Do not fill above the MAX line of your stainless steel water tank. This can lead to issues with the oscillator wand.
