Why it matters
The AIRCARE Executive 5.7 Gal. Cool Mist Evaporative Whole House Humidifier is an evaporative humidifier, rated for 3600 sq ft.
Aim for 40 to 60 percent relative humidity indoors: drier air irritates airways and skin, wetter air feeds dust mites and mold. Evaporative wicks trap the minerals instead of releasing them, so tap water is fine, but the wick stiffens and needs replacing.
