As other poster said u must use distilled water. anything else any minerals in the water with turn Into a fine mist of particulate. Even a 1 gallon a day can put a fine layer of mineral on everything after a week or 2. Bad to breathe it.
I didn't know this. Distilled water it is from now on, only.
Freaking a, that should be in big bold letters on the box and on the reservoir.
RO water works perfectly well

Doesn't that mean that you're still breathing in the mineral contaminants?
I suppose a small amount. I guess I'm not too worried about it being a health concern personally... it's more just annoying to have a white powder around the humidifier, so I use those things to reduce it. I used to use filtered water from my refrigerator, but it still left the residue. I figure if I'm drinking the filtered water, I'm getting those same minerals in me anyways, so I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference if they are in the air? Who knows...

I have no clue, but I think it's less about it being in you as opposed to it being in your lungs is my guess.

Hrm. We use an ultrasonic humidifier with city tap water.
I had heard that there can be some mineral powder, but I haven't seen any seen any.
I hadn't heard about the health risks. I wonder how overstated such risks are.
or it can be understated, because the humidifier industry doesn't want you to know the issue reducing their sales.
of course mineralization is the last stage lol or else the RO would filter it out since the RO filter is always the last filter as its the finest (assuming no UV)... dur!!
there are plenty of RO systems that remineralize/alkaline the water, but my point is that you dont have to readd minerals for it to be a RO system, RO is just filtering and the cheapest and most common systems with RO dont have remineralization.
i use filtered water in mine despite the warnings. I'm not seeing any mineral layer, as I did previously. I still recommend using distilled if you can
This is exactly what I have been doing as well. Plain tap water would result in a fine layer of white particulate all over my furniture. I switched to using the filtered water out my fridge system and that went away. I also have a 5 micron whole house water filter at our water inlet so it is double filtered as well. That said, this is enough for me to stop using ultrasonics and cool misting: https://www.childrenscolorado.org...midifiers/
I use tap water and all good. The people saying bad for your lungs? lol. what do you think is in the regular air we breath? Dont dust for a few weeks and you will see way more junk then the layer of white minerals. Clean your house people. Filtrate the air in your home. All good.
used a 1 gallon a day ultra mist at work, didn't realize it would be so bad on tap water, there was a fine white mist after a couple of weeks on everything in the room, caked the HVAC filter with the only intake 2 rooms away. I usually only dust maybe once a year at the office. I'll be safe rather than sorry.
There is a reason when air quality is bad they say to say indoors and/or mask up. And then the try hard co workers say fark it and then are coughing up black mucus for a few days. Fine particulate isn't good to breathe in because it can get stuck in your lungs.
