Bottled purified water uses plastic. Tons of it. Your humidifier’s thirst might drown the planet. Reconsider! Buy a countertop distiller or a reverse osmosis system.
Or collect rainwater! Just kidding. Don’t use rainwater. It’s full of bird droppings and pollution. Your bedroom will smell like a swamp.
Tap water with a demineralization filter is a solid middle ground. You skip the plastic, save cash, and keep your machine clean. It’s a win-win-win.
But Wait—There’s a Catch!
Some humidifiers are designed for tap water. They have filters that handle minerals. Check your manual. If it says “tap water okay,” you’re off the hook.
But those filters get gunky. They’re like coffee filters after a thousand brews. You’ll replace them often. Purified water doubles the filter’s life. Magic!
So, yes—use purified water. Or distilled. Your humidifier will whisper sweet nothings to you instead of coughing dust.
