I’m dealing with dry air, and the humidifiers I had bought before got the tiniest grits of dust or something in them and leaked their whole tank of water. Turns out they needed purified water or distilled water to function long term.

I just want to put tap water into a thing and get humidity into the air. Any suggestions?

Edit, they were indeed ultrasonic humidifiers.

    Do you have a fireplace or a stove for heating anywhere? My family always used a pan of water on top of those in the winter

      That’s incredibly expensive at todays energy prices.

        Oh, I think that largely depends where you live. Some places it’s much cheaper than gas or electric to heat your home. If that’s how you were already heating your home some water on top is easy

      I wish I had a heating stove or fireplace for this purpose, but alas, it’s a gas furnace connected to a central air system
