Is that too much bleach though? I do just a few drops in my ~1 gallon humidifier that works continuously in my clone room and it stays clean and even keeps the Serratia bacteria that make the pink stuff in the reservoir at bay. I do use reverse osmosis water to fill it though.
Is breathing that much aerosolized chlorine a concern?
A calculator I use is here. Tap water is about 2 ppm.

Looks like you are doing about 30 ppm so maybe that isn't that much really.
- pishpash 6y agoSo when the water evaporates you get salt precipitates all over the wick, and more and more over time?

- pishpash 6y agoThe problem isn't so much the wick itself but the concentration increase of salts over time as water-soluble chemicals are introduced at seemingly small levels each time. I suppose with proper monitoring it can be managed, but doesn't seem like the ticket in a non-flushing system.
- falcolas 6y agoI hasn’t been an issue, but I am careful to not overdo it. I have overdone it once with a cool mist humidifier, and it was definitely noticeably uncomfortable. I replaced the water quite quickly.
- jdironman 6y agoHow are you sure it's not a boiling the frog scenario then? You might be "comfortable", but internal damage over long term can be taking place until it gets to a tipping point. I'm just weary of ingesting / inhaling anything foreign over long periods of time regularly.
- JohnJamesRambo 6y agoYou’ve inspired me to up it a bit. I think I’m doing a little too low. I want zero bacteria, not to just be in a stalemate with them.
