Been using RO water in my beads for about three years and about 6 months in a humidifier with no problems.

There is a posibility of getting bacteria in the RO water so it is not 100% safe. Best bet is to use distilled water.

I have been doing it for years.
My Aristocrat runs on RO.
I have a 200 gallon per day multi stage 99.5% pure unit installed in my garage with two 50 gallon containers with auto fill/top off.
It was set up for my salt water fish tank business and to use for my personal aquarium. From the onset, used it for the humi.
I have never had any mold problems.
I live in Florida.
My humi temp is an average of 77, sometimes as high as 78 to 79. Seems since I put in the new AC system a few weeks ago, now runs 76. Never any beetles or mold.
