Humidifier recommendations please.

[SamSanuk]

I have a fairly inexpensive Xiaomi Humidifier but it’s causing havoc with my air purifier. 
 

Was wondering if anyone bought a better model humidifier THAT FILTERS out minerals/particulates, given that I’m currently using tap water.

 

Also, on the subject of proper water, would bottled water make a difference? 
 

Or do you use distilled water? And if so, are there delivery services for distilled?

Is it not a dehumidifier? 

 

I can't see why any one would want more humidity

When you run an AC and Air Purifier, the air can get quite dry overnight. A humidifier gently adds moisture to the air without raising temperatures.

The local bottled water delivery truck here in Pattaya has filtered water which is basically distilled water, I'm sure this would be good for you to use. 

 

Look out for these guys in your area.

You don’t need a humidifier in Thailand, even at night with air con running. 
 

It will cause mould.

 

Thailand is a very humid country and even with air con you’re unlikely to drop the humidity lower than 40%.  Contrast that with some countries who are at 0%.
