What kind of water should I use in my Humidifier?Updated 2 months ago

At Canopy, we're committed to making your comfort effortlessly attainable. That's why, unlike most humidifiers that recommend distilled water, the majority of Canopy Humidifiers were designed to deliver excellence with any water type. Tap water is totally fine to use with Canopy's filtered Humidifiers. 

For the Bedside, Nursery and Large Room Humidifiers, the hardness of your water is a factor in your filter's life cycle. The harder your water, the more frequently you may need to replace your filter. But don't worry, we've got you covered. You can learn how to determine whether or not you have hard water here, and how often to replace your filter here.

The Portable Humidifier, designed for on-the-go convenience, differs from our other models as it does not have an internal wicking system. This means that using tap water may result White Dust, a harmless residue of dissolved minerals like calcium or iron, which can settle on surfaces where your mist lands. While White Dust is safe and easy to clean, we recommend using filtered, demineralized, or distilled water in the Portable Humidifier for the best performance and reduced maintenance.
