I love Levoit LV600 humidifier. We have 4 different humidifiers in our home, and this one is by far our favorite. The settings are easily adjustable, no leaks, it's stable, it's quiet, no problems. But the customer service is great. After having this product for about 6 months, it slipped from my hand after I had filled it, and cracked on the hard floor. Totally my fault. I was so bummed. I attempted to use the warranty I had purchased, but did not receive much help. They wanted pictures before they would help me. I didn't have pictures because I threw the broken plastic shards away when I cleaned up the mess I had made. I could not find a replacement reservoir online, and was resigned to the fact that I would have to purchase another. I didn't want to waste the still functioning base, so I contacted
hvaclifehack directly and asked to PURCHASE a new tank. Without any questions other than proof of purchase, they eagerly shipped me a new one at no cost. Great company, great product.

Subject: Room Humidifiers Piggy-Backing on Piano Life Saver Systems
Greetings,
Here at CalArts we have a smattering of "techno-pianos." Unlike most of the other pianos in our inventory, we cannot put full humidity control systems on our MIDI-grands and Disklaviers, only drying rods and humidistats. It gets very dry out here, and for the heart of the school year.
So, we started using room humidifiers (Venta L45 Comfort Plus) in some of those rooms. VERY beneficial, but must be watered much more frequently than piano-specific systems.
In one of our classrooms, we have a piano with a complete PLSS on it. In that same room is a harpsichord (which seems to change pitch if you stare at it too long). We had a smaller capacity room humidifier on hand, one without a humidistat. (Since RH can vary 40-50% in a single day out here, we don't want a room humidifier operating without being humidistatically controlled.) As an experiment, we plugged the room humidifier into the PLSS humidistat's "Humidifier" side of things. The results after a few months are very promising. The harpsichord gets tuned at least once each week, and has been much more stable than usual. We were concerned that the room humidifier might need to be manually reset after being turned off by the PLSS, but that is not the case.
Has anyone else tried doing this? Or anything akin to it? Might there be any potential downsides?
FYI, y'all!
Alan
