This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I use the humidifier treatment only occasionally on my own piano at home where the water has a fairly high mineral content. I get very little buildup on the heater bars and the pads seem to last forever. OTOH, I have had customers with water softening systems where the pads were shot after 4 months and the crud had to be scraped off with a knife. - Mark Dierauf -----Original Message----- From: Andrew and Rebeca Anderson [mailto:anrebe@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 8:46 AM To: Pianotech Subject: Re: Dampp Chaser question H'mm, It is my understanding that the treatment adds an electrolyte that makes the smart-heater bar work. Of-course a lot of water has plenty in it now-a-days. I don't think it does much for mineral deposits. Or the water has too much in it to be ameliorated. ;-) Are you guys finding that it works fine without the additive?

I have never heard from Dampp-chaser that it is necessary to activate the Smart Bar. Have you heard otherwise?
