Can I use rainwater as distilled river contained by my cool mist humidifier?
Currently, i use purified drinking water (the PRIMO water) that you bring from Lowes. but this gets expensive seeing that the humidifier chamber is rather roomy and uses alot of water daily. i go to my local grocery store and bought some 1 gallon bottles of distilled water. this too is expensive and time consuming. can i collect rainwater and use this in my "American Red Cross" cool mist humidifier? or do i inevitability to process the rainwater through carbon or any other methods? collecting the water in a bucket and after dumping this into 1 gallon bottles would be the easiest and cheapest way, but is it the same, is is risk-free, and will it cause white dust particles to increase? thanks!
Answers: Rain water is not distilled. Even purified drinking wet is not the same as distilled.
Rain water might purely be the answer. The "dust" accumulation is probably the fine particles of minerals that adjectives ground water contains. When the tray dries out, the minerals are showered around by the fan. Rainwater might hold some minute particles it picked up on the way down, but is still deeply clean. Just make sure the container you collect it contained by is spotless. Not advisable. Rain contains all sort of impuities from the air. Do not collect it from downspouts or it will own even more junk in it.
rainfall water is not distilled,distilled water comes from steam evaporation
