Hey all. I just pulled my humidifier out of the greenhouse because the fan housing was looking dirty. When I took it apart to clean it, I was shocked to find black mold growing EVERYWHERE! Even on the wiring running to the fan. I tried not to breath too deeply while I threw it in a trash bag. Calcium deposits I can handle, mold I am not going to mess with. It was so invasive there would be no way to clean it all out and make sure it didn't come back.
Now, I need a new humidifier. The old one was evaporative. It had a wire mesh screen inside that water poured over while a fan blew humidified air out into the greenhouse. It had a huge tank, but I think it ran entirely too much. So I am looking for something smaller that I can turn off and on as the humidity needs a boost.
Any suggestions? Cool mist? Warm mist? Any tips on additives to the water to keep mold from growing? A drop of bleach? Help!
