Customer Reviews of ProTec PC-1 Humidifier Tank Cleaning Cartridge (Pack of 2)
Customer Review: Pro tech cleaning cartiridge too expensive!
Summary: 3 Stars

Summary: 2 Stars
The cartridges were part of a package deal that I purchased from Allergy-Be-Gone. Its' hard to determine if they actually do anything, and they rattle around inside the water tank when water is moving from the tank to the heating element. So with every 'glug' the water generates, there is also rattling from the balls. I prefer skipping the balls, and cleaning the humidifier. Some humidifier tanks have a holder for these balls, which would eliminate the rattling.Customer Review: kind of pointless
Summary: 2 Stars
i bought this with a humidifier that i also ordered on amazon, because it suggested it to help keep the tank clean. i used it and havnt really noticed it doing anything. as long as you regularly change the water and periodicly clean your filter i dont see why you would need one of these. it was just kind of pointless.Customer Review: Overpriced with minimal impact
Summary: 2 Stars
Item is too pricey for limited effect. With need to change filter every 4 weeks and now this "cleaning" cartridge, you can end up paying the price of the humidifier again before the winter is over!Customer Review: The Protect ball is their hidden, nasty trick!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the Vicks Humidifier for my child's nursery and noticed the "Protec" ball that they provided for "free" in the original packaging. I decided not to use the ball because I didn't want any unnecessary amount of product vaporizing in my child's nursery.
Over the course of a month, the humidifier got into a state where it started growing mold within days of use and now I have to disassemble it and clean it thoroughly almost every other day just so I could use it only for a few days without having my child's nursery have a nasty funk in the air. After seeing this pattern, I realized that the people at Vicks probably know their product has this flaw, but conveniently sell you an alternative $10 ball which only works for 3 days in order to "keep your air clean".
This is ridiculous. I'm taking it back to Target and asking for a refund. I'm very disappointed in the Vicks brand name for pulling a fast one.
