We found white powder on the fans and carbon exhaust but not on the girls. Found out it was from using our hard tap water in the humidifier. Has anyone used the humidifier capsules to reduce the minerals in tap water or do we go back to buying distilled water? Thx!
You can't use tap water in a humidifier if it's hard water. You'll clog up your carbon filters and make a dusty mess all over the place. Only RO, or distilled water can be used.
I try to use only rain water (EC 0S) or water from the laundry dryer condenser on my humidifier (it makes bubbles sometimes).
This reduces mineral deposits on the plants and the box, and also maintenance of the device's membrane.
I had this same issue with my humidifier and tap water, never used the humidifier capsules though I just got cheap drinking water not distilled water and it worked give it a try before trying the capsules.
