Question about humidiers & mineral build-up

If you go a little too long without cleaning and minerals build up so bad to the point their like rocks and can't be broken off the inside of the humidifier, is it time to say "lesson learned, won't take that long again" and throw it out and get another one?

The one we have isn't a horribly expensive one and after cleaning it as best I could last evening, I still do'nt really feel all that comfortable using it.  I know it's the pink bacteria nastiness that should be the concern - I just don't know how concerning the mineral build-up should be as well.

    Our water is terrible.  I don't worry about it..if I did I would be buying a new humidifier every 2 weeks.  My mineral grime tool...a small screw driver..then I just chip the mineral build up off (thats how bad our water is).

    Have you tried using vinegar to clean it? Vinegar works very well on mineral deposits.
