I’m dealing with dry air, and the humidifiers I had bought before got the tiniest grits of dust or something in them and leaked their whole tank of water. Turns out they needed purified water or distilled water to function long term.

I just want to put tap water into a thing and get humidity into the air. Any suggestions?

Edit, they were indeed ultrasonic humidifiers.

    I have Vornado’s evaporative one: https://a.co/d/3cZbfx9

    Little pricy but worth it. You’ll also want to get a bottle of the antifungal additive, you only need a few drops per gal

      I have a similar Vornado evaporative one. The filters get crusty faster with straight tap water. I usually use filtered water from the fridge.

        The thing goes through 4gal of water every 2 or so days, how do you get so much filtered water?
