Now that we are talking about it, I have one of these, anyone else:

It seems to keep the house at 40-50% rh in the dead of winter. It is a bypass unit that has a rotating drum but does not use pads, it has 100 disks that pick up water. It was about $200. Was this a good choice?

Just keep the discs clean. We have a similar-technology unit on one of our HVACs and my father had disc-type humidifiers on both of his HVACs for decades. If you have hard water you can get mineral build up on the discs.

Atticdog- That looks nice, wish I'd known about them a few years ago. Heh heh, around here the contractors only tell you about whatever they want to sell/install so those of us who don't know about this stuff often get something a bit, uhm, different from what we might've gone with.
