Filter For Cool Mist?
    #6258946 - 11/07/06 09:17 PM (6 years, 7 months ago)

i bought a cool mist from a thrift store today for 10 bucks but it didn't come with a filter..is it necessary to have a filter? i am using it with a martha if that matters

If it's a vicks that is made to use a filter, you can find replacements at most drug stores.

That's either a wicking type or a steam humidifier, both of which are the wrong type. You want a cool mist with a spinning disk. The wicking type have a filter/wicking pad inside, but rarely can deliver over 70% humidity.

Check your local drug store. Make sure it has a spinning disk inside. The cheaper models start at about $20 brand new. The vicks I use runs $29, but comes with an activated charcoal filter.

See the link above. That's the one I pay $29 for. Somebody should by all 11 if they can be had for six bucks.

Yes, those will work.
Whether or not a coolmist going 24/7 will work depends on where you live, normal RH in your house, etc. You can always put the coolmist in your greenhouse and fan 3-5 times a day for FAE. Definitely invest in a good hygrometer as well.

This might give ya an idea

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5666949#Post5666949

Also , if you can't locate the pre filter , use some microspore tape .

Check your Goodwills and Salvation Army stores . I never pay more then a dollar for a cool mist and have about 10 motors in stock incase one burns up . They don't burn up anymore since I've started using two outlet lines of 3/4"

That's to one green house



If you only use one line the motor will burn out , unless you use a 1 1/2" piece of PVC . lol . You need to eliminate any back pressure :thumbup:or put it in the Martha .

Depends on the size of your Martha . One should do it :thumbup: You'll run it however long it takes to get your humidity where you want it . You'll have to tweak it in .

Good Luck

I'll tell you right now . If you don't put at least two 3/4" PVC lines coming out of it , you will burn it up , no questions asked ,. I know this for a fact , first hand , lol :wink:

It will run for a little bit and then just stop :thumbdown:
