Just use pop bottles or milk jugs or anything. Come on think, you can do it!

Ya, I know.. but I am trying to not do the "ghetto" theme.. I wanted to make it as neat as posible.. but perhaps I will have to revise my thinking...

errr...

Thanks Jack..

Use whatever you have lying around for a container. Do you top off with a flaot valve regulary? Or have you been dumping your topoff water in once per day?

I used to just fill it up once a day.. now I have started to drip it constantly. No float valve.. just guessing the drip rate for a days evap. It worked out to about 4 cups a day..

Then I would use a milk jug or similar sized container. Mix up a gallon and it will be fine for 4 or 5 days.

Just got home to find that my Kalk dripping container cracked during at some point today and drip a good amount onto my floor.. errr...

not a good start to this..
