The AprilAire uses a simple evaporation pad/element with redirected
plenum air. I don't have a water softener. I did a search of the
archives here and the concensus was to use point of use filters
instead of point of entry. I'm thinking a filter that filters out
"sediment" or the stuff that becomes sediment. I run the A/C the rest
of the year and don't have an excess dust problem during A/C use.
