How can I rejuvinate the foam pad in my revolving drum furnace humidifier?
Stephen L asked:
I have a revolving drum furnace humidifier that puts moisture in the air by evapoating water from a rotating foam drum (about 6″ diamater, 8″ long). As the water evaporates, mineral deposits (hard white granules) from my water build up on the drum (I expect mostly silicates, but don’t really know). Is there something I could soak the foam in that would desolve the residue?
