Steps to Choosing the Right Humidifier
Introduction If you experience physical or health related symptoms triggered by dry indoor air, chances are low indoor humidity is present and a humidifier is needed. Humidifiers can relieve problems such as dry skin, itchy eyes, a scratchy throat or sinus complications. Humidifiers vary in output per day, the size and gallon specifications. Knowing whether the room selected for the humidifier will be a child's room, family room or for the whole house, is key to optimum performance. A console humidifier is suitable for very large areas. Smaller room humidifiers will accommodate small or medium rooms, dorm rooms or office spaces. Becoming familiar with the different categories of humidifiers will determine which system best suits your indoor living environment. Zalmen Pollak shared 7 tips to determine the best fit for your needs.
Warm Mist Humidifier This humidifier uses a heating element to boil the water and emits warm steam in the air. Individuals living in an especially cold climate will reap the benefits of this type of humidifier.
Cool Mist Evaporative Humidifier
This humidifier naturally adds moisture to indoor air and uses a wick filter that is constructed with honeycomb filtration. Mineral pollutants and other contaminants found in water are trapped by this type of filtration.
Top Fill Humidifier This humidifier is ideal for individuals having difficulty carrying around heavy containers or suffering from arthritis. Water can be poured into the top of this model with ease.
Ultrasonic Humidifier
This unit is perfect for increasing indoor moisture to relieve conditions that contribute to sinus irritation, nasal congestion and a dry cough. The ultra quiet, ultrasonic humidifier breaks the water down into a fine mist by using high frequency sound waves.
UV Germ Free Humidifier By using an ultraviolet light, this system will kill germs, mold, viruses and bacteria that build up and migrates in the humidifier. It is an ideal option for a child or infant's room.
Cool Mist Impeller Humidifier
As a perfect choice for fighting cough and cold symptoms, the water in this impeller humidifier break down into small droplets that is released into the air as a fine mist.
Warm Mist Vaporizer Typically smaller than a warm mist humidifier, some vaporizers feature an integrated medicine cup for using vaporizing inhalants if needed. This system does not require the use of the filter replacements.
Conclusion
A humidifier will help to ease certain flu and cold symptoms, or respiratory conditions. For optimum performance and proper maintenance, filter replacements, if applicable, should be changed as recommended.
