When operational, there is a clicking sound every
Mine started doing this too. There is a thin, flat metal piece on the right side of the tall part of the base (not the little pole) that goes down to the water. Mine is slightly bent out, and it catches on the discs. Did you find a solution?
Why does my Aprilaire humidifier gurgle?
Mine was doing the same thing...first month of operation (installed toward end of heating season) = no problems with noise (bubbling, gurgling) though the duct work - started second year toward middle of season. Now its been running for a few weeks and is intolerable. I dug out owners manual and it did not address this at all. I dug out the installation manual and viola! Gurgling is caused by excess condensation in the steam hose. Sure enough the steam hose had a small area depression and did NOT have the constant downward slope necessary - installation instructions are VERY specific about needing a slope in order to allow condense to drain from the steam house. The zip-tie installation had slide down from a vertical stabilizing pipe & allowed for the hose to sag in the middle (nice install job slacker). I adjusted it and the SOUND IS GONE. Hope this helps someone else.

I can't get my humidifier to get the humidity to get over 17% and the dial is set at 30% it goes to 20% and flashes
Without brand and model, my advice is definitely a shot in the dark. Only your manual or your manufacturer's site can inform you of what the flashing means.
Here are some tips that might help you increase the humidity in your room:
Check the humidifier's water level: Make sure that the humidifier has enough water to function properly. If the water level is low, the humidifier may not be able to produce enough moisture to increase the humidity in the room.
Clean the humidifier: Over time, mineral deposits and bacteria can build up in the humidifier, which can affect its performance. Clean the humidifier regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Place the humidifier in the right location: Place the humidifier in a central location in the room, away from walls and other obstructions. This will help the humidifier distribute moisture evenly throughout the room.
Use a humidistat: A humidistat is a device that measures the humidity in the room and automatically adjusts the humidifier's output to maintain a desired humidity level. If your humidifier does not have a built-in humidistat, you can purchase a separate one and use it to control the humidity level in the room.

Elektra humidifier has a flashing water warning sign
Is this a mist generator with an ultrasonic element, popular for "health?"
These have a wick and water is not going trough the dry wick by itself. One should make all of the wick wet, from bottom to top. After that the water keeps being taken up to the element until the device is stored and the wick dries out again. Another thought is that these ultrasonic elements are very similar to a buzzer, like in toys. Two round sheets of metal with plastic in between. This is not like having long lifetime. For expensive mist makers you could perhaps order a new element but I do not have high hopes. Being so vulnerable the humidifiers are shipped containing no water. It is important to rest the top of the wick in water also. Just making the wick wet close to the element does not help or gives bad results.
