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.

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?

from Dampp-chaser that it is necessary to activate the Smart Bar. Have
you heard otherwise?

Presumably you are using the required additive in the water?...
