Would a cool mist humidifer do about the same thing that this unit does?

I don't know. I am not sure if you could put the liquid in cool mist humidifier. Every humidifier that i have seen always instructs you to put only water and preferred distilled water only. In my opinion, the liquid should only be used in the device that was designed for it. I feel that this Mosquito Sentry works as designed. My only complaint was the cost of the liquid, but it does make our outdoor living very bearable. For my wife and i to be outside in a New England late afternoon into the evening with mosquitos bitting us, it is worth the price. To put it into perspective, we have two of these devices for our large 16' x 34' deck. We have used about 8 gallons so far with no complaints. I don't know.

Possibly, but I don't know about the output. This "fogs" more than a standard humidifier.

No. You only use salt with a warm air vaporizer if you have the kind of water that doesn't produce much steam on its own. You don't use salt with a cool mist humidifier, ever. I have two of these small personal cool air humidifiers and find them very useful for small rooms, or to use next to the bed while you sleep.

Nope! It is a very fine mist and with any circulation of air you won't have any trouble. Really great humidifier for small room or travel!

No. This diffuser just lightly diffuses moisture into the air...perfect foressential oils...If you need more moisture, it is better to do so with a humidifier! Hope this helps you!

This is a humidistat not a thermostat it will activate based on humidity not temperature. This might not be what you are looking for.

I imagine you could, but the output, and length of time, would be considerably less than a stand-alone humidifier.

No, just HVAC. This unit not designed to control humidity. Hope this helps!

My guess is that it should. A humidistat is a humidistat. It is really a switch that closes when your setting for humidity is exceeded in case of AC or to low in case of heat.

It works as an air conditioner by circulating the water through its system. Not sure I would use it to humidify.

As I have previouly stated, I had this unit professionly installed, however, I do know in my case, mine doesn't control my humidifier as I had a high end unit installed. The man gave me a detailed instruction and a users manual on the unit. The secret is ask around for a reliable, responsive professional. Gary

It appears it can, but in a way that wasn't obvious to me. There are some dry contacts which are presumably just on/off switches you could use to power a solenoid on a whole house humidifier. I'm maybe a mid-level DIYer with marginal knowledge of HVACS and wiring.The menus do have an allowance to control humidity.

Yes, it is a humidifier. Proper humidity level being important for the mucous, breathing.And it looks cool!

This unit can perform cool OR warm mist. .... Your choice. Have only used the cool mist option but I must say it is THE BEST humidifier I have ever used. I would have to believe it is just as efficient on warm as it is on cool. 5 star!

Since this system generates a fine vapor mist, one might argue that humidity is added into the surrounding air. However, it would be very limited, and would depend on the area of the room served by the diffuser. Also, humidifiers move very large volumes of liquid into the air so I would not purchase this item to be used for that purpose as it's effects would probably be small. You could always experiment by purchasing an inexpensive hygrometer to measure ambient water vapor content in your room both before and after using the device as a humidifier. The room would have to be very small for it to be possible though, if at all. Since this system generates a fine vapor mist, one might argue that humidity is added into the surrounding air.

Sorry but is will not control a humidifier. It will heating (gas, oil or electric), cooling (multi stage), even a water heater, and can display inside / outside temperatures.

No. The instructions states that you will not see any vapor for this humidifier. As long as the water continues to go down, it should be working.

Probably. One of the issues you might run into is that it's just a real slight trickle of excess coming from the humidifier pump. Most condensate pumps I can think of would be overkill. ...unless you wanted to take the opportunity to put this into a sump...
