By the way that pond mist/fogger you just posted is the answer to my humidifier filling woes!

I use that amount of water weekly at least, so I wouldn't know. Just don't put more water in the reservoir than you plan on using in a few weeks or a month. I used to mix Klite into a gallon jug as a concentrate to use over time, and it never got nasty.
I wouldn't know if it's a danger... I'm not dead yet.
I used to use a separate tank for the mister/fogger, a 20 long aquarium, and a 25 gallon tote for the
MistKing, no fertilizer added of course. I'm just using the same reservoir for all as a space saving option.
The fogger probably won't last quite as long, but they're cheap. ($10-12) and you can clean them a time or two before they go belly up. Make sure you get a float for it as well. Here's links to them...

The float, of course, is used over and over. When I had it in my basement and it was a large open area I just two of them. Kept the humidity really crankin'
And no problem with the details... that's what we're all here for. Learn, ask, teach.
