We turned our a/c on last month. We will probably turn it off in October if we are lucky.

Either combo of ice and distilled water or just ice in the humidifier do cool the air, but you get maybe an hour. I bought an extra humidifier but then there's the change out hassle at night. My next step: Put a frozen container of ice in front of the filter inlet. The air around it will be ambient room air, not the air in the humidifier heated by the machine and melting the ice quickly. Don''t forget to protect from condensate on your table or whatever. We'll see....

Are you freezing distilled water into cubes? you might try that and then crushing those ice cubes and then mixing them with distilled water to create a slush that you can more easily pour into your humidifier tank.watertrails wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 2:31 pmNow with hot humid weather id like to cool the air instead of heat it as in winter. I have the humidifier turned off as i dont need or want it on now. I experimented with putting only some mini ice cubes in water container and leaving the humidifier off. THis still somehow added more unneeded and unwanted moister to my nasal mask.But did seem to cool the ir some. some. I was going to look for some nontoxic plastic container to freeze water in that would fit in the container.The room is the warmest when i first go to sleep and cools some as the night goes on so even cooling the air at the beginning of the night would help. I was thinking of simply putting the empty humidifier water container in the freezer doing the day but was concerned if freezing it might crack it. Anyone ever try this or freezing something else to to put in the water container to cool the air? flat rock or Something ?

I just aim a small fan at my bare legs.
I perspire when hot (most folks do); and evaporation cools me.
