About White Dust -Use of high-mineral content water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on room surfaces near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly referred to as “White Dust”. The higher the mineral content (the harder your water), the greater the potential for White Dust. The White Dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier, but is due only to minerals suspended in the water from your tap. WARNING:If you have hard tap water STOP using tap water and visit our website (www.Air-Innovations.com) to purchase our Humidifier Demineralization Filters or use ONLY filtered or distilled water.
