Humidifier

Post by Eldercat » Thu Aug 03, 2023 4:11 pm

Do I have to use it, or can I just stick with airflow?

Go in and turn the humidity off. Then you can leave the water tub empty.

as my brother used to say, the only two things you have to do in life is die and go to the bathroom.

try without it and see how it goes. humidity is a comfort feature that i, for one, sorely need. others? not so much.

good luck!

On the rare occasion I don't use the humidifier (e.g. colonoscopy) I make sure to turn off both heat (temperature) and humidity by turning the dial counterclockwise till the scree says "off".

I have not used the humidifier, and see no reason to do so.
