No. We have used this product for the last eight months every day and had no problems with mold.

I have used the device continuously for over 6 months and did not have any mold problem. I changed the water every 2 months and cleaned the bucket and the device that sits in the water with soap and water before refilling the bucket. Also, I covered the bucket with black plastic garbage bag so no sunlight could get into the bucket filled with water.

I have had the same issue with mold. I try getting rid of it best I can, but usually just end up dealing with it and figure it probably won't kill me.

I used the dispenser in both summer and winter. No mold or mildew in the past year. My kitchen where the water machine is kept is not air conditioned and still no mold. We're happy with our system. Much easier to use than always using the small table model. Some keep that model in the refrigerator. We store water in 1/2 gallon Ball canning jars. That way we always have clean water for cooking and coffee. Oh, when we go out of town for more than a day or two, we empty the machine completely. Also, we ran white vinegar through our water machine before installing the Zero water system. This cleared the system so the Zero water would actually be zero. Hope this is helpful.

I have actually started noticing mold a few weeks ago. I use both daily and it took a few months to show up & it's only in the water bowl. They've since stained so I stopped using them

We live in Utah where we have next to no mold problem so that is not an issue. However I was raised in the northeast where it is a big problem. I would suggest wiping it out every few weeks according to your humidity, which is the big factor. Sorry I can't help more. Have a good day.

I ordered mine almost 2 months ago...no mold then and still no mold. I keep them on the shelf, in the bag they arrived in and inside a 2nd ziplock bag with all the air squeezed out. They still look, smell, and taste wonderful. :) I bet it was a bad batch. And if that happens with anything, I normally just contact the company right away and it gets sorted out. If not, Amazon is wonderful with customer service issues!

I've not had any problems with mold or mildew. I followed the instructions and mine have been packed away in my garage for 6 + months now with no problems.

I've had two of this same unit for three years & have no problems with mold. All I do weekly is take out the tall plastic unit from inside & wash it in the dishwasher with my other dishes oh also the cap of the water bottle then fill the bottle & base of unit with water & bleach & let it soak for a half hour.

The interior parts may be leaking. They may be replaced. Check at the companies website. I keep it in the refrigerator, when it empties, I refill it. I don't worry about mold.

I never had any problems with Mold and Mildew, but I did use those little balls that you can purchase for this unit. My biggest problem was that it left a white, chalky feeling coating on all surfaces within 3 ft. of the unit. It would take too much distilled H2O to got that route. I stopped using it.

The same here. I know I turned down the level of water added to the air this year becsue I found mold in the attic. Have you changed the pad in the machine as ours was coated with minerals which may inhibit the humidifying action.

No - mine has been fine the entire time. My only complaint is the fungal build-up... have to use vinegar every few weeks to clean it out.

Yes, I have. I have to clean it out every couple of days.The rate that the water fills the bowl is not enough to clean the mold and the water does not circulate.
