Steam Humidifier:
This Humidifier is the most advanced and expensive design. This humidifier requires the water to be filtered with special filters to prevent scale in the humidifier. It also requires its own power source due to the electric heater that turns the water to steam. Steam humidification is the most powerful option.
The down side of Steam humidification is the upfront cost, cost of operation and the higher expense of regular maintenance and repairs.
