pink resudue in ultrasonic humidifier; with ro
I'm using RO water in an ultrasonic humidifier to rid the vapor of that white mineral dust, and it works well. However, while cleaning the humidifier I found a pink residue inside. The net says that this is bacterial in nature but I thought I'd check with you guys and assure myself that it isn't something the RO system is leaking into the water.
This is the system: http://www.uswatersystems.com/system...apro-5050.html This is the article: http://www.wrintl.com/faqs.asp#Can_p...icro-organisms Thanks. |

pink resudue in ultrasonic humidifier; with ro
If it were from the RO system the water would be pink before putting into the humidifier, so my bet is on a bio-slime caused by air-borne bacteria. The solution is to periodically clean the reservoir with a bleach solution.

I don't think my water has much chlorine in it here. Greg |
