Default Humidifiers/foggers for the Greenhouse

Ray,

I thought about putting one of those filters on the water line that they use
for refigerator icemakers. Do you think that would reduce the minerals?

Gene,

The buildup is due to minerals in you water. I use RO in my Jaybird

Hydrofogger (the one that's
been replaced) and have no problems.

I'm thinking about replacing it with the fan thing this fall, so it might

be available....

I hate the humidifier that I purchased with my greenhouse. It's one of

the
Trion Humidifiers. I have it plumbed into the water system and on a
humistat.

The problems are that it's noisy (ok the orchids aren't complaining) but

I
find it annoying. The bigger problem is that the plants get a white

film on
them from the junk in the water.

I like the JayBird fogger that they used to advertize in the gardening
magazines. It appears that they have replaced the fogger with a fan

device
that fogs.

What do you guys and gals use in your greenhouses? I have a couple of
months to decide but soon the dry winter winds will be upon us.

Thanks,
Gene
