Home humidifier, is it water?

I'm installing a home humidifier that attaches into the forced hot air. Should I count this towards my water count for the day? How many cups of water do you think I would be consuming?

    If you turn it on at night and it's empty in the morning, then however much water was in there counts.

    But I don't know if it counts for the day before or the next day. Hopefully someone else will be able to say.

    I think it depends on if you hooked the water line up to your hot water line or cold water line, which one did you do?

    well everyone knows that it is better to drink cold water since your body has to work harder to warm it up so you can digest it...so my answer is yesyou can count it. Your next step will be to not use any water in your house for the next month and then use your water bill to determine how much water the humidifier used and divide it by the amount of people that are in your house.

    You should also count the amount of water your body absorbs when showering and/or washing your hands and brushing your teeth.

    It's water, it counts!

    Did your starfish get moistened when the said splashing occurred?

    Yes. Yes. I believe it did! Does that make a difference?
