FAQs: Whole House Humidifiers
Can I use tap water in these humidifiers?
Most models work with tap water but distilled is ideal to prevent mineral buildup. Dreo and LEVOIT offer demineralization options.
How often should I clean my humidifier?
Weekly cleaning is crucial. Units like the Dreo 11L have reminder alerts – see cleaning guide.
Do these work for 1,000+ sq ft homes?
For whole-house coverage, use multiple units. The Dreo 11L handles 700 sq ft alone; pair with another for larger spaces.
Are humidifiers safe around pets?
Yes, but avoid essential oils unless specified. Position units elevated and away from pet beds.
Can humidifiers help with allergies?
Yes, by maintaining 40-60% RH. Higher humidity may worsen dust mites – more in allergy guide.
