I'm still using one of those old-fashioned humidifiers. I keep a bucket next to mine and I dunk that sponge in the bucket because they stopped working after a while or at least they stop working very well and then I can get more time out of each sponge. But yeah, I'm in the same boat as you I think I'm going to get a big ultrasonic model once I can.
When it stopped being able to maintain more than +5 points to the ambient humidity of the room, I took the sponge and rotated it 180 degrees. Got a few more days out of it that way. Still way to expensive to be sustainable. I am wondering if I give the filters a soak in some diluted citric acid if that will help clean out the minerals and give me some more use. I might try that when I replace the next one. Its the same stuff I use to clean the still, so it might work.
