Question: Adding salt to the ultrasonic humidifier water reservoir.
    #27031302 - 11/10/20 09:42 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Hey there.

Am using ultrasonic humidifier to help maintain adequate humidity levels. My current reservoir is a simple modified bucket. Will adding salt to said reservoir, for purposes of keeping reservoir clear of any unwanted growth, be detrimental to the fruiting chamber?

Thanks in advance.

dunno if the salt will get into the atomized air but it will murder your humidifier in short order I would think

Don't add salt. Your water won't be around long enough to get soo dirty as to warrant the addition of weird additives. Even if it was, just change your water.:shrug:

The best way to keep the humidifier and reservoir clean is using distilled water imo. With tap I always have problems with lime residues and bacteria.

Add hydrogen peroxide from time to time and also leave a copper wire in there too. Don't add salt, it will corrode your units.

They make additives. Google them use those if you must. Honestly hundifiers are more work than they're worth for cubes and you should clean them regularly.
