Humidifier floor model -- hot or cold?
 
I've got a humidifier that sits on the floor. It takes
about two gal of water per day to keep my trailer
comfortable.

Is there any advantage to feeding it with hot water?

You know the answer to that.

If not, look at this yourself and do the math:

I do? What answer do I know?

I did glance at the web page. So, what's the
answer that I already know?

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

That is rather suprising; given that most of the people here are over 60,
crippled or in poor health, trailer trash.

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?

The BTU or calories have to come from some where. Either
the water heater, or the furnace. The advantage of using
hot water is that for a few minutes, it evaporates easier.

Which someone else on this list knows. This might be
