BuildASoil Humidifier Reviews

I thought my tap water with a low ppm of 55 would work in this humidifier given that it features some filtration but to my disappointment this unit spreads a film of white dust everywhere with tap water. I would only recommend distilled or R.O. water through these units, if you run an RO filter and don't mind the water usage it won't bother you. The unit is unacceptable with tap water especially if using around flowering plants or drying product. I am now looking for an evaporative cooling humidifier as I have read that those do not have issues with spreading white dust and film but perhaps I should be running RO water regardless of the unit? Either way if the evaporative cooling units run cleaner and less misty with no chance of any sort of film/dust production I will take that over this.

Overall the unit works well, however, it would be nice if it could be controlled by the Niwa. If manual control is your thing, then this unit is great. If you want to automate as much as possible, this would not be the unit for you.
