As usual Mr PingPong,
You are talking about what you know nothing of.
That piece of crap humidifier you were talking about was the worst
thing ever made. That technology went out 20 yrs ago.
Aprilaire is the way to go. General makes a nice one too but it doesnt
have the nice easy open service that Aprilaire does.
The pad gets replaced yearly.......no ifs ands or buts. You DONT clean
them with CLR or any other silly crap. They were made to be replaced
once a year so do it. Its very cheap.
Other than that, you're still and idiot.

Not having a humidifier worked well enough for me. Had been so for
20 years by now which about fits your timeline. No molds, no
respiratory distress or 'winter flus', no condensation, very healthy
house plants. Quite a few of my kin and friends have shut off their
humidifiers too. We have pretty dry air in Alberta. My
recommendation is to skip the whole house humidifier. By the way
those old drum humidifiers are still sold at HD and other hardware
stores. I agree they are crap.
