Dunno why for sure. Just always heard of people using tap water getting mold a lot easier on their humidification source. Not saying distilled water eliminates mold issues, just from what I've seen it somehow makes it less likely.

Good to know, thanks for the info.

I'm sure some more scientifically minded gorill... er... inmates can expand on that or at least tell me I'm hairy... er... insane.

Its definitely not a cost issue. I shipped some cigars to my parents house and they don't have a humi sitting around. So I was going to buy some more beads and send to them for the temporary holding they are doing. But I don't feel like sending them to the store for distilled water if I don't have to. It's only a month and a half, and honestly I don't care about the fate of this batch of beads. So other than the potential for mold (which we haven't verified) there is no real issue here?

I respect your postition on not imposing on your folks, but aren't they going to be at a market to get food anyways? Pick up the distilled water then. no reason to wreck decent beads if you can avoid it.
