Humidifiers for home use

Humidifiers, which were in the past only found in hospitals and sanatoriums, instantly gained huge popularity among ordinary people. As the name suggests, the humidifier is a device responsible for maintaining an optimal amount of moisture in the surrounding space. To be more precise, it helps to maintain an optimal microclimate in one or more rooms.

Benefit of humidifier

Is it worth buying a whole-house humidifier? Everyone should decide for themselves. We should pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the device. The pros are as follows:

• Increasing the life of wooden furniture. Wooden furniture will dry out over time due to the dry microclimate that takes place in many apartments and houses of the inhabitants of the country. A humidifier will make it last 2 to 3 times longer;
  

• Optimal environment for living. Humans, as well as various animals, feel comfortable only if a certain microclimate is maintained. Many factors have a significant impact on it, including humidity. You can regulate the latter with the best humidifier;
  

• Positive effect on the plants. If there is low humidity, you will notice that indoor plants grow slowly, and their leaves are covered with yellow spots. This is due to a lack of moisture in the environment. The above-mentioned device allows you to increase the humidity in minutes, and maintain it at the required level for an unlimited amount of time;
  

• Reducing the rate of wear and tear of wooden flooring. For example, laminate or parquet. Due to low humidity levels, flooring surfaces start to crack and deteriorate.
  
  

Humidifiers features

According to the principle of operation, household humidifiers come in three main types:

• Ultrasonic humidifiers, including preheated humidifiersс
  

• Traditional or evaporative humidifiers. They also include an "air washer" humidifier. Such humidifiers not only humidify the air, but also clean the air from dust, so they are sometimes called humidifier-cleaners;
  

• Steam or "hot" humidifiers.
  

There are also climate units, combining a humidifier and air cleaner in one body. Ultrasonic humidifiers are most commonly used in such devices.

A classic Cooling Mist humidifier has one single function - to ensure a normal level of humidity. If such functionality is not enough, then look for a model with an air washer and ionizer. The device with an air washer function is equipped with a filter that detains microorganisms, as well as various particles. As a rule, they are the cause of many colds and allergies. The ionization function saturates the environment with ozone, which improves breathing.
