Evaporative Humidifier - Harmful and/or Inefficient?
    #8089621 - 03/01/08 12:24 PM (16 years, 30 days ago)

I have an evaporative humidifier (which uses a wick and a fan) that I'd like to use for mycological purposes.

Ive read that evaporative humidifiers should not be used, however I am wondering if this is because the anti-bacterial agents added to the filter are dangerous for the fungi? Some other explanation?
Is it just the fact that ultrasonic models are more efficient?

I would simply be enclosing the humidifier and piping the moistened air directly into my fruiting chamber, and using perlite/hand spraying for my primary moisture sources.
The humidifier would simply be a stabilizer, and would be used to fine tune a humidity balance.

I would soak the filter regularly in a vinegar solution to remove any calcifications etc.

Another question: How important is it to be using distilled water?
The water from my well is quite mineralized, is this terribly detrimental to the grow?

My friends i thank you
