Check out Mainlandmart.com next time,they drop ship for alot of people,maybe even house of hydro?
Mini splits are not nearly as bad as central ac units. The 5 ton can pull my humidity down to 25%. Mini splits don't pull so much but they definitely remove moisture as all ac units do. In order to solve the problem I add a home made humidifier.Im having the same issue now.This is a good topic for sure.Mini splits remove so much humidity from the air im struggling to get over 50 percent.Ill come up with a solution soon.
What did you end up doing
Same thing happened to me. You try just changing the filter? It didn’t fry the blower motor for me just froze up compressor, changed the filter n it was fine. You need super low ppm water for the humidifier or ro water. You could somehow rig your ac to drip it’s condensate into your humidifier rez?So I roll in this morning at 5 am when the lights turn on and immediatly notice the canopy is 4degrees warmer. I immediately check the a/c to find it had frozen up. The fucking humidifier is causing build up on my midgrade ac filters. A white dust has formed on it blocking flow I'm guessing. Unfortunately it may have cause my a/ blower to burn out. I called my friend who does ac work to come see if we can just rewire the blower to a lower fan speed since it's too powerful anyway. If that does not work then new blower motor and new ac filters and plenty of them to swap every week. If anyone has any experience with this please share.
The blower was friend. New blower installed and wired to lower rpm to help lessen air exchanges. I can definitely use the account water it's just house of hydro said just use tap. I will send him a email and see what he says. Even when I used ro with my other industrial humidifier it still did the same thing. I'm just gonna put a ac filters that is not such a tight micron.Same thing happened to me. You try just changing the filter?

Weird. That white powder is likely calcium, shouldn’t be much calcium in ro. I’m on well water but our well gets shitty in the summer so I get water trucked in, that water is 60ppm my well is 20-40ppm. The trucked in water makes white powder from my humidifier on everything but my well water doesn’t. Did u get the fogger made for ro or just the regular one? Pretty sure the ro one just has a Coating to prevent corrosion in ro water since low ppm water is very corrosive/reactive. What kind/make of ac u have ? So the old blower motor was variable speed and new one isn’t ?The blower was friend. New blower installed and wired to lower rpm to help lessen air exchanges.

The house of hydro was where I purchased my parts to build my ultrasonic humidifier. I did not upgrade to the special coating. The last time I tried this with a different humidifier but I was hooked to ro water, but maybe I was in need of new filters. I am not exactly sure about the AC motor. They both had 3 fan speed settings to wire in. But I believe we disconnected the high and low speed when we hooked up the new one, so it just blows out at a slower speed now supposedly. I can't really tell the difference. The old fan motor had everything built into the motor, when we put the new one in we added the capacitor and a relay which I believe was built into the old one or something like that.Weird.
