    I'm using IE. Hmm, weird that it doesn't work for you. However, a work around is just to past the link in as text and anyone interested can copy it and paste it into their browser.

    We went to a small filterless system this year as the cost of the filters in the large humidifier got to be a nuisance.

    We have very hard water, and would go through the filters quickly.

    The larger system put out more moisture.

    We're hovering around 22% humidity with the small system and a pan of water on the stove.

    Pretty sure that my humidifier is the cause for my mold problem in the attic. It totally soaked the plywood on the roof.

    Little bit of an issue with poor sealing up there to be fixed.

    WOW that's very bad! Mold is toxic and expensive to abate...

    Does your attic have proper ventilation?

    Absolutely. I did some investigating, and found the stuff the pros use. Gonna kill it once the attic dries out.

    I'll be ripping up the plywood floor and insulation in the spring and sealing the 2nd floor ceiling after that

    It has soffits and a ridge vent, but it will likely need a fan as well.
