One of our chapter members was involved in an interesting lawsuit having to do with this very situation. The lesson learned for us was to emphasize the <b>bold-print</b> guidance in the Dampp-Chaser literature, for the customer to use only the Dampp-Chaser humidifier sauce. I believe this section of the literature is now <b>bolded</b> as a result of this case.<div><br></div><div>The customer got replacement liquid locally. I believe the product was "Humidiclean." Sounds about right, doesn't it? The product contained muriatic acid. The piano was severely affected. All of the strings turned black as I recall.

After investigating, I discovered the custodian was "saving money" by using hardware store-type dehumidifier additive (the kind that Dampp-Chaser warns about - evidently containing some sort of acid). The pins and strings were rusty, and the Dampp-Chaser itself was so rusty that when I inspected it, the metal parts just crumbled. This was a very old unit (the kind with the one orange light), but I'm sure the same could happen on a newer unit as well.</div></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
