Meredith picked up a Sunbeam humidifier at Walgreens tonight to help Nathan breathe better through his cold. On the box, it advertises “Fits under most bathroom sinks for easy filling.”
Then, inside, the instructions note: “Fill tank with clean, cool, distilled or filtered tap water. … [unfiltered] tap water may cause a ‘white dust’ to appear on your furniture, etc.”
It turns out that our bathroom sink doesn’t have a built in filter.

Our humidifier just died after about 15 uses, because the inner works were so crusted with mineral deposits. Evidently our water's not filtered either. Hunter Fan Company was very generous about replacing it, though, and from now on, we'll be filtering.
