 After about half the bottle was used, I cleaned out the humidifier reservoir and found it was coated with mineral scale. Either the bottle was mislabeled or, well, something.
That sounds kind of suspicious. Seems like the water wouldn't pass even the most basic electrical resistance QA test if the mineral content is that high, by which I mean it sounds negligent on the part of the bottler if your experience wasn't some weird outlier.
I suspect that might be evidence that they use one filling line for two products and the tail end of one production batch got mixed in with the next one.

 I've been using deionized water from the pharma lab where I worked for 30 years in my H5i reservoir.
I thought having to work in a small cubicle was bad, but that must have been horrible.
Yeah, I seem to have left out a couple of commas there . . .
Misplaced modifiers are fun. :lol:

 If I change water every night, do I need to use distilled?
Try it. Only you will know if you build up scale or not and how fast.

Apparently forgetting how to craft answers for newbies! LOL
I have no idea where that came from!
