Am looking for a furnace humidifier. Can one be attatched to our filtered water system...or will it still scale up? Had one l5 years ago not attatched to filtered water and it was horrible and hard to care for...Much build up. We just had our third portible one kick the bucket.

There is a furnace add on humidifier that uses a "flow Thru" principle, that is water comes in the top, an flows over a grid of aluminum meshes. That is a product sold by Totaline and is handled by most furnace installers.
The reason this is so much better, especially if you have well water or city water from wells, is that there is no rotating wheel in there to get all ruined from the calcium deposits and cause the humidifier to stop working. Ive used the rotating wheel type and it simply became so corroded in only one season that i had to take it out. So far this Totaline has lasted over 5 years with only periodic cleaning of the aluminum grids in cleaner.
Having a water softner is not an answer either, because a water softner removes the calcium, and replaces it with sodium cloride and that too precipates out as a hard solid salt and causes a failure of the rotating wheel type.

i imagine you should replace the window. by way of warm temperature being allowed via, extra warmth needs for use as a lot as guard similar temperature. for this reason the massive expenditures. without the hot domicile windows and the hot furnace... your nevertheless gonna cancel out the heating result to some degree.. yet with new domicile windows.. i trust you've a extra perfect chance of lowering expenditures. keep extra money... and then change furnace.
