Gallon Humidifier

JCB asked:

My husband and I live in an approx. 2000 sq. ft. home in Kansas, and it gets so dry in the winter. His hands get all cracked. I am thinking an in-duct humidifier may be the best, but would love recommendations on specific brands/types.

Joshua asked:

I run my humidifier all winter long, and I have noticed I have a ridiculous amount of dust! Could using tap water in my humidifier cause dust?

Should I use distilled water to prevent this?

I do not have central air, live in an apartment, and keep doors and windows closed.

I just bought a humidifier for my 3 month old son yesterday who has bronchiolitis. I told my nanny not to do this and now my humidifier is full of oil and water. Any suggestions?

I need a 26″ x 20″ x 5″ media air filter and a humidifier pad for a Honeywell Enviracare 225A whole house humidifier. I have been unsuccessful at finding these at my local home Depot and Wal Mart.

I live where it gets very cold and dry.My little ones and I are affected badly by the dry air. We can’t use our tap water in a humidifier because of the chemicals. We don’t have the space or money for jugs of water. I’d like to know if there is another way to moisturize the air in our home.
The chemicals in the tap water make the water coming out of the humidifier smell horrible (best way to describe it is like urine) and leaves a white film all over everything. it also does that when we boil it. About the distilled water, like I said we don’t have the money or space for the gallon jugs.

I’m thinking of adding an Aprilaire humidifier in my home. I was wondering how it may effect my water bill. Any feedback will be much appreciated.

Dumbo asked:


I left some hard water in my humidifier, and now, I have white powder-like substance in it. Unfortunately, it stopped working.

Is there some kind of chemical to add to the water so that I can flush out the powder-like substance in the humidifier?

Serious answers only please.

Our home is very dry. We have a natural gas furnace, is there an easy humidifier that I can get and install myself to my gas furnace? I thought that this might be the most energy efficeient way to go? I am not sure if humidifiers can even be used on nat gas furnaces?
Thanks in advance
