Distillation requires steam, so there aren't any like that. You just need water softener

mines just arrived. Home owners, what the standard / comfort level I should be setting for the humidity level? I read it should be between 40 - 50% RH, lower than 40% in winter. Is that right?

I don't think you can set it lower than 40%

I keep my humidity at 40-50 to keep my hardwood from dying

is it easy to clean? i have one from ebay and it's hard to clean.

What water softner? I searched it up and it lead me to home Depot page selling $700+ water softener machines

Dang - I got ripped off! I only got a box in a box! (Intelcom delivery)

BTW, did the folks who bought this previously also have the "filter" with the beads in it. Supposedly, this will help prevent the white mist powder issue and you're supposed to clean or replace it every 4-6 months (depending what your water mineral content is).

Don't you guys get condensation (on Windows) if you raise the humidity too high in the house during this cold weather?

I have hardwood as well and I try to keep it around 25 to 30 percent... Don't know how people without engineered hardwood do it.

Does everyone that received theirs have Amazon prime? I dont and used free shipping and mine says it wont get here till January 25th. I ordered it on January 17th. I have a few orders lately with ridiculous shipping times with Amazon. Seems like they are purposely delaying shipping items.

I received two yesterday and am with Amazon Prime. I've had one for a few years and as long as you stay on top of cleaning it I've been very happy.
