Humidifier STRONG suggestion

Post by Junebug999 » Fri Nov 26, 2010 12:10 am

Someone here had suggested when I take the humidifier apart to release the water to make sure I was over a sink and I've always done so....

However just now I clicked that chamber open while walking to the sink and I'm all wet!!!

I won't be making that mistake again!!

A shower before bed, huh? It's one of those things you know you should stop halfway thru, but your brain don't respond quick enough. john

I would be afraid of getting water into the machine if I carried the whole thing to the sink. Much rather have water on me than an expensive doorstop due to water getting into the machine from sloshing it around while the chamber is in the machine.

Doesn't just the plastic container slide out?

Filling the humidifier chamber when holding it over the bed it not a good idea either...trust me on this one!
