Hi All,

I have chronic sinus problem and I live in southern CA where the climate is
very dry (and smoggy) which is a deadly combination for my sinus and I'm
thinking of getting a humidier to help alleviate the problem at night when I
go to bed but I'm already using a Vornado hepa air filter so can I still use
a humidifier or will the humidier's moisture damage the air cleaner HEPA
filter ???

Thank you

Benny

Don't put them too close together. Because the mist from the humidifier
will indeed get sucked right into the air purifier, causing microbial
growth. Put them on opposite sides of the room.
