Humidifiers - against dry air

Valuable humidifiers for improved air

During winter it is often the case that rooms are only poorly aired and the heating is on non-stop operation, which can quickly lead to dry air. Within this unhealthy environment the mucous membranes also dry out and become more prone to colds. That is why there should always be sufficient humidity in the room. A suitable humidifier can create a pleasant climate in every room, as long as it is maintained regularly to prevent spreading of germs in to air.


The difference between the individual devices 

Passive humidifiers
These so-called passive humidifiers are very economical because they do not use power. They are mounted to a heater and filled with water. The latter will then be distributed throughout the whole room by the warm air emitted by the heater. Larger rooms require more humidifiers.

Electric humidifiers
With only little power consumption these models distribute water in the room through a filter with a large surface. With this system it is impossible to humidify room air too much.

Vaporizers
Even though this innovative air humidifier needs some power, it ensures great humidification. Any germs are destroyed by the vaporisation, the air stays clean. In case the water contains too much calcium carbonate it is important to descale the device regularly, otherwise it will not be able to provide the desired results.

New technologies
There are air humidifiers that release cold, humid air into the environment with the help of high frequency ultrasonic technology. Some devices allow an exact adjustment of the required air humidity. Other humidifiers have a remote control for additonal comfort, they are classified by consumption or have an automatic shutoff feature when the tank is empty. In the end, everybody has to make their own choice about the right humidifier for their individual needs.
