GENERAL INFORMATION
How Ultrasonic Humidifiers Work
Ultrasonic humidifiers operate on the principle of
high frequency oscillation of water molecules until
they are broken into ultra-fine particles (1-5μm).
This is done by a vibrating disc called a nebulizer
(also called an atomizer, oscillator, or transducer)
inside the humidifier. The fine mist created is then
dispersed into the air.
With an ultrasonic humidifier, the water itself is at-
omized, and any minerals or debris in the water will
be dispersed into the air. Use distilled or purified
water to reduce contaminants being released into
the air.
Best Usage
Because ultrasonic humidifiers are typically small
in size and cover relatively small areas, we recom-
mend adding additional humidification for whole-
house coverage.
To provide general humidification for large areas,
consider using an evaporative humidifier that can
cover up to 4,000 square feet.
CAUTIONS Regarding Additives to Water
Only use cool, clean water to fill your humidifier.
•
Add water treatment for ultrasonic units to
maintain a clean humidifier.
•
Do not use softened water, if possible. Miner-
als, sodium, and other sediments inside water
will be dispersed into the air
•
Never add bacteriostat intended for evapora-
tive humidifiers.
