If you do something like this I would avoid covering the top. The top is where the heat is supposed to dissipate. The mist thingy is cool in theory, but I'm sure it would lead to terrible corrosion or do absolutely no good in our south Louisiana humidity.

Creates mineral/scale build up in the unit that cannot be cleaned out.....results in having to replace the unit.


BTW, rain water =/= tap water......rain water is almost identical to distilled water.
