ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for inhibiting the accumulation of bacteria within a humidifier includes a primary water path for directing water directly from a water source to a humidifier during its operation. When the humidifier is shut-down for a cleaning operation, water is directed through a bacteria-removing device before entering the humidifier. Water contact surfaces within the humidifier are preferably lined with copper to further inhibit bacterial growth.
