My husband is on a quest...

[Haole Girl]

he has been gone for 2 hours, driving from store to store, looking for distilled water for our three (yes, THREE) humidifiers.

I knew I should have just gone out earlier and tried to find some for him.

What a funny way to spend New Year's Eve. :eyes:

1. ah yes, a quest on new years eve

I have been on some myself.

A scavenger hunt with all the work and none of the fun.

I wish him well.

3. I've tried to explain how a filter on our sink faucet would probably have...

the same results as store-bought distilled water, but he doesn't believe me.

2. In our store, they call it purified water

Just to confuse people, no doubt. But it is distilled water. Tell him to read the small print. :hi:

5. I know... I know...

I've shown him articles. It's like talking to a wall! lol

4. Time for a whole house humidifier. My HVAC guy added an automated one for me for around 250

I couldn't install it myself for that cheap an it works great.

[Haole Girl]

6. Ah ha!! Really?!

I had no idea there was such a thing. Thank you! :hi:

[Nickster]

8. Absolutely. Just get an automatic one otherwise you'll be flicking the switch up and down like crazy

[Haole Girl]

9. Thank you so much for this...

I'm researching it right now.

11. Can you boil a pot of water

and use that instead, once it cools down?

[Haole Girl]

14. No.. no

He is convinced that would have too much "sediment" from the minerals. sigh.

15. Could be worse.....

he could be out in rusty armor with his friend Sancho attacking wind generators!
