wicking vs. impeller cool mist humidifier
    #5694016 - 05/31/06 07:34 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I know the impeller cool mist humidifier is the one desired. I have a wicking cool mist, I'm planning on getting an impeller, in my Martha with a ultrasonic. I get my humidity up to 90% with cool mist 24/7 and the ultrasonic on for 20 min. But as soon as I turn off the ultrasonic, the humidity gradually drops to 70% within the hour. Is this because of the wicking cool mist? Or is the only difference between a wicking and impeller cool mist is the potential for contam? Thanks for any help.

Wicking type humidifiers are not suitable for mycology. They can't go over 70%. That is the limit for them. They also have a silly mesh that sits in the water, growing bacteria. They ought to be banned. They're not even suitable for a sick room.

Get an impeller type and you won't even need the ultrasonic.

OK. Thanks Roger. I was hoping that's all it was.

Is there any use for a wicking cool mist humidifier? FAE in a rubbermaid container?
