Watch what you put in the water.
I heard of someone adding a humidifier treatment, it corroded all the strings on a reasonably new Yamaha. The product was corrosive.
Just use products recommended by Dampp-Chaser.

  I never had any problem with any of my customers, still, how about putting some vinager in the watter or one of those commercial products used in aquariums? good idea to ask DC

    Anyone had a customer question about mold in a Dampp Chaser system?   The company cannot guarantee it won't develop under the best use practices, religiously adding their solution to the water each fill.  Every tube I've seen has mold eventually, which leads me to wonder who is liable if the customer gets watery eyes or something and blames the problem on the Dampp Chaser and the installer and anyone else.  Or has anyone had a legal problem with the installation of a Dampp Chaser for any other reason like a soundboard problem blamed on the system?   I have not but it seems like a strong possibility someone has.
