* *Are you making the mistake of using softened water to the

The AprilAire uses a simple evaporation pad/element with redirected

Ed-


What model you have?

Depending on your water chemistry you might have hard water problem
(disolved minerals).

I'm pretty sure that a "filter" won't help you.

I thinking you need some sort of RO system
or a demineralization cartridge (they somehow magically scavenge the
minerals but will need to be replaced based on water hardness & water
usage)
