This is continuation of the story about the different types of humidifiers. Now, about cleaning.
air cleaning
The washes evaporating elements also blown air, but they are made of plastic. It is clear that plastic wheels and blades do not absorb water - they scoop it and Screwtape like propellers in boats. Part of the liquid thus vaporizes and part - breaks from the surface in the form of droplets and entrained air flow. Get something slightly similar to the effect of ultrasonic humidifiers, drops of which are spread throughout the room. And then these drops dosyhayut, leaving behind everything that was in the solution. Different washes this harmful effect is manifested in varying degrees.
There are good German cleaning Venta. If you take the top model of the valves and turn it to the minimum speed, you get a very quiet and quite a productive. The problem is that the Germans are added to the so-called gigenicheskuyu additive. This is a very interesting drug, which is misleading, even advanced users.
Initially, people thought that the additive is needed to protect against germs. There is included means for discharge of quaternary ammonium compounds such as benzalkonium chloride or chlorhexidine. Immediately there is an association with gynecology, right? Any infection or spermicides.
But it turned out, the official version in the additive added yet some nameless antiseptic preservative, which should restrain the growth of microbes. But from benzalkonium waiting quite different.
What is expected of benzalkonium
Benzalkonium and similar tools belong to the so-called cationic surfactants. That is a beaded detergent that can dissolve the hardness salts from water. So manufacturers provide the efficiency of washing. Additive cleans rough coating, and washing does not creak, not wheezing or jammed during operation. Additionally, make beautiful soap plenochki on cleaning discs that help scoop water for better evaporation.
All anything, but plenochki burst like normal soap bubbles, flying in the air drops of soap, which dosyhayut turns "white dust" from benzalkonium. Generally benzalkonium as a preservative is added, for example, drops for inhalation. And at the same time warned that his inhalation may be a reaction. And then there are clouds benzalkonium droplets in the air. How do you like the story?
About how to choose moisturizers
So, we'll discuss all types of humidifiers and now let's try to choose a suitable one.
about ultrasonic humidifiers we talked. They can be bought, if applicable demineralized water. It may be a reverse osmosis filter or some kind of a barrel of distilled water at work. It happens.
steam humidifiers They require less maintenance, but spend a lot of energy. It is possible to buy something for the children. There are special steam humidifiers with ROPS and specifically reduced the steam temperature.
traditional moisturizers like the Japanese. They have a lot doroguschih models.
Important performance humidifier. It is better if it is able to evaporate 500 ml per hour or so. Traditional Moisturizer with such performance has to be tremendous. Climatic complex some.
Typically humectants evaporated less 400 ml per hour. To them was an expert, you need to chase them, and at night. Therefore, the noise is important. In night mode, the noise should be less than 25 dB.
All these promotional gimmicks like the "almost like a whisper" and "blah blah blah" - mean nothing. Look at the decibels. Compare with advertising vacuum cleaners. Sometimes manufacturers of humidifiers boast noise level, which is stated in the quietest vacuum cleaners. It's funny and sad.
About such features as water bay directly to the humidifier on top. This advertising ploy. The humidifier will still need to empty and clean microfiber every day. He did not have time to evaporate so that a quick pour water into it.
