Can anyone recommend a good water treatment to put in the pan of a whole house humidifier that will reduce how often I have to replace the media pad and clean the whole thing out? I seem to get a lot of deposits on the pad and the pan pretty quickly.

I don't think a humidifier treatment would help because the pan is being continually filled off the float off the water line. the water must have a high concentration of lime or traces of sulphur if its fed from a well. city water also has lime in it. -
Yea, I'm in Chicago, so that's probably it. Is there anything I can put on the water line that would help? I've seen supposed "water treatment" contraptions that you hook up to the outside of the water line. Not sure if those actually do anything though.Comment

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try something but in the long run, the media is gonna get gooed up with calcium and lime and the slimy mess you sometimes find in drains. On a cooling tower like for a nuke plant they have a water curtain that air blows through cleaning the air and humidifying it. too bad they don't make something like this for the house.Comment

Has anyone had an occurrence of a Laser 730 or 731 over firing?
The top of the heat chamber and the heat exchanger glow red on high when this occurs....
