      U could go somewhere with that and ppl will buy thinking it’s something else.

    2. You’re supposed to use distilled water. You’ve been breathing in aerosolized minerals and metals.

      That’s the mineral content of your hard water which is what clogs up shower heads and faucets too. Vinegar will clean up the little stuff. Not that giant rock though.

    4. Humidifiers require distilled water, or else you get this or worse, it breaks down from mineral buildup. 🤷‍♂️

    5. Make sure you’re changing or at least checking your hvac filter more frequently than normal if you’re running a humidifier. They clog faster thanks to the calcium from
      Not using distilled water.

      I have the same humidifier.  Last house it did this as the water was “hard”. New house and it’s dirt brown rocks  😅.

      My wife got a device for distilling water in December. Since then we’ve been using distilled water only in our humidifier and all the mineral buildup is gone.

    8. I have to dehumidify my home 24/7 for 4 months of the year, are people out there making their houses moister?

    9. I’ve never been so relieved to not see the word “kidney”, “bladder”, or “urethra” in a post title.

    10. Woah! How much time did it take to accumulate that? Ive never seen anything like that in my life
