Is there any advantage to feeding it with hot water?


24 hours later. One reply, which didn't
even offer a position. I'll admit to
being disappointed.


How water will evaporate at a faster rate. But the water isn't
going to stay hot for very long. Not only will it cool just like
a bucket of hot water, but because water is constantly being
evaporated, it will cool fast, like a swamp cooler works. And
unless the humidifier is undersized and can't supply enough
moisture using cold water, what would the point be anyway?
