Your humble tap water is actually a mineral circus. It contains calcium, magnesium, and other tiny rock stars that, when blasted into the air, settle on your furniture as white dust. You’ll wake up looking like you had a flour fight with your armoire.
Those same minerals can clog your humidifier’s wick or ultrasonic disc faster than a clogged artery at a state fair. Before you know it, your $40 miracle machine sounds like a dying cat and stops working.
Plus, if you have hard water, you’re basically breeding a tribe of bacteria. Warm, mineral-rich standing water is a microbial spa—minus the cucumber slices and plus the pneumonia risk. Gross.
