I haven't used anything different in my Essick Humidifier (which is by far the best humidifier I've ever owned -- definitely worth the $80 I paid for it), and I think these filters work swell.
To make them last:
-add a cap of liquid bacteria treatment (buy this in a hardware store for cheap) to the base of the humidifier every other week
-soak the filters in warm vinegar water once monthly (they will retain a slight vinegar smell for a day, but that quickly fades)
I typically get 4 months use out of the filters before I replace them. With the effort I put into keeping them clean I likely could use them longer, but the mineral stains make me think they're dirty.
I haven't been able to locate these filters in local stores (and trust me when I tell you I've searched all over Denver!), so I tend to order in bulk off from Amazon once a year and keep a supply of them in the closet.

I have two Bemis humidifiers that use the 1040 replacement. I believe Essick bought Bemis at some point. The items fits the unit as it is the one sold for the unit. The big issue is the the wick element is "supposed" to be glued to the plastic frame.
Over the last couple of years (I replace the a couple of times over the winter) the company has used less and less glue and as soon as the wick gets wet it starts to fall out of the frame. I have fixed this by holding it in the frame with rubber bands. It gets the job done but should I be using rubber bands to hold together the product!! Very poor quality.
I have e-mailed the company and they never responded.
When the units finally die I will be getting a different brand.

I bought a few pair of these here and noticed the wick is not really adhered properly to the frame. When I used them up I went to Menards and noticed first that Menards sells them for over $5 a pair cheaper. I bought a couple pair and when I got home, noticed that not only are the same wicks from Menards almost half price, but also better quality. The wicks were glued in properly and seem to last much longer than the ones I bought here on Amazon!
