Humidifier - Low Water Indicator Error SOLUTION
on January 2, 2025
Posted by: Customer1
Low Water Indicator Error Message SOLUTION!!
Marking this as 4 stars because of this Low Water Indicator Error message issue and Blueair's FAQ shown on this website and the instruction manual for this issue don't have viable solutions (as of this review). Customers have had this low water indicator error issue without a solution UNTIL NOW...PLEASE READ ON...
In reviews, some customers have indicated that their humidifier has the low water indicator error when their tank is full and the upper unit and lower unit are correctly aligned and in place. Blueair's FAQ on their website for this specific issue (at the time of this review anyway) says to turn the fan on to draw water into the pump to resolve this issue. However, unfortunately, Blueair's solution will not work as the fan will not run/turn on with that low water indicator error in place. I had this same error message occur incorrectly as well, and I tried so many different things until I figured out a solution that works.
SOLUTION: I turned off the unit, unplugged it, removed the top of the unit, and set aside the top of the unit. I wanted to just have the lower part of the unit accessible = the water pump and the water tank/bucket. I figured that the water level sensor is inside the water pump, and maybe the issue is that not enough water is inside the actual water pump enclosure. So, I decided to try filling the actual water pump enclosure with water. I left the water pump sitting in it's proper place in the water tank/bucket. I used a very small funnel, and I carefully and slowly poured maybe 1/4 cup or so of water into the very top of the water pump through the raised round opening. This filled the inside of the water pump with water. I then put the top of the unit back on top of the lower unit, I ensured it had the proper alignment with the dots, plugged it back in, and turned it back on. When the humidifier's power came on, the low water error indicator was actually gone, and the humidifier immediately started running accordingly!!!! THIS SOLUTION WORKED!!!!! YAHOOOO!!!
I was worried I was going to have to return this brand new humidifier. I really wanted to get this to work as I was excited to have a humidifier that was mist free. I'm so glad I didn't give up and discovered a solution that works. I hope this solution is helpful to those of you that have this same low water indicator error message (when your tank has plenty of water in it and your upper unit is properly aligned with the lower unit). Thank you and have a great day! (To inform others of this solution, I also posted this on the e-commerce website that Blueair also utilizes for selling this product.)
Other comments...
As a side note, I like the following aspects... the size and the look of the unit, how quiet it is, that you can dim the lights at night, I prefer refilling it directly into the lower water bucket tank - so I like the easy-transport handle and the overhang at the top edge of the bucket tank to prevent splashes, the app seems to work great too with the additional features, and I love that there is no messy mist!!
My only concern about this unit is the following... when it comes time for me to clean my unit for the very first time, I will not able to clean the inside of the water pump as it is all enclosed except for where the small sponge filter is located on the lower side. The instructions for cleaning don't have instructions for cleaning the pump, but maybe I will also soak it in diluted white vinegar and then rinse well before reusing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It’s good, but the water has to be replaced so frequently and the mechanism to put all the parts back together with the filter within the top part to the bottom water basket is flawed. It’s really annoying to align it to make it fit properly a huge flaw in the design.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your humidifier and we're glad to hear that it has been a good fit in your home. We understand that taking the humidifier apart can be frustrating. To help alleviate the need to take the unit apart frequently, we would like to highlight the top fill feature of your unit, which allows for easy refilling without disassembly, saving you time and effort. When you do need to take the unit apart, here are some helpful tips for seamless assembly: ensure that the tabs on the wick filter are facing the water pump when installed, and align the indicator on the front of the unit. This should allow for an easy assembly of the top and bottom sections. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly and we would be happy to help!

The base is poorly designed as it has two separate pieces that come together and as a result my humidifier had a manufacturing defect and leaked everywhere.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Ive had this for a few weeks now, maybe almost a month. I want to like it so bad but it's constantly messing up. First it wouldn't get humidity past 38% and with some help from support they finally told me how to reset it. After doing so, it had rained and I had wet clothes hanging so there's no way to tell if it was really working itself bc regarless it was more humid than usual in my room. Now, it constantly says its low water alert and sometimes will just not start or will say it starts but stay stuck at 23% with the low humidity while I JUST refilled it. It's been really annoying and a super bummer being so expensive and waiting quite a while.

We are sorry to hear about your experience with your humidifier! The low water indicator light staying on can happen when the unit is filled without turning it off. To help get the humidifier drawing in water again after it's been filled, power the humidifier off and then back on. This will reset the pump and allow it to detect the newly added water. For the best performance, we recommend setting your preferred target humidity level and setting the humidifier to Auto mode. This allows the device to react to the changing humidity in your room and adjust to meet your target humidity. If you continue to have any issues, please reach out to us directly, and we would be happy to help!

Quiet, super efficient, easy to clean compared to other humidifiers this rules, I bought my first Blue air early December 2024 then bought a second one a week later. I live in the northeast, have always had humidifiers and it’s the first winter my hands have not cracked from dryness, what more do I need to say. Love this product!

Low water light remains on despite all troubleshooting steps, continues to happen every 3-4 water bucket changes. Awful product, will be asking for a refund.

Not what I was hoping for

I was so excited to receive this humidifier! I own 4 Blue Air purifiers and was happy to see a humidifier by them. However, I’m not sure if my humidifier is defective or just not user friendly at all, but the top does not align with the base at all. The handle on the base appears to be getting in the way of a correct alignment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you so much for being a longtime Blueair fan! We truly appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about your experience so far. To allow the top half of the humidifier to set into the water tank properly, we would recommend checking that the tabs on the wick filter cage assembly are at the bottom and facing the water pump assembly when installed. This will allow the top to properly set into the water tank at the bottom. We have reached out to you directly to help get your humidifier set up!
