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

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? |
