Hi Greg,

The other two problems we have seen are: 1. Bacterial growth decomposing =
the pads and the whole mess sticking to the bar. (Hot soapy water and a =
scrub brush have cured this.)  This happens with some frequency when =
Humidifier Treatment is not used.  2. Corrosive well water that actually =
eats away at the aluminum.  This is rare as the pH needs to get down to =
5.5 or so.  Since this process is destructive there isn't much you can =
do.

If either of you have a digital photo of this problem, email it to me =
off the list please.  Thanks!

Roger

    If the crust is from mineral deposits associated with hard water try =
a dilute solution of vinegar, 4 parts water to 1 part vinegar.  Usually =
