I run a warm air humidifier in my grow space and although I don’t consider my water to be “hard” my heating element in the humidifier keeps getting covered with a rugged substance that keeps the element from heating up the water,any tips on things I can add to keep it clean like maybe CLR cuz I’m pretty sure it’s calcium buildup,I’ve just been knocking it back with a sanding sponge,but no shit that sucks.Any help appreciated

Clean it with a descaler. Once it is clean use demineralized water in it.

You can also use vinegar to clean scale build up any surface, as as you can take the smell. You may want to consider buying some of this.
I have a whole house wicking console humidifer and drop a few ounces in eat each time I fill it. A wicking humidifer won’t distribute the chalky stuff around the house, but the stuff does make my wicks last a lot longer.
