Background to using Humidifiers
Low humidity around the home can cause many problems, either with the health of the occupants or with the contents of the home. Medical problems arising out of low humidity include sinus problems, dry cracked skin and lips and even nose bleeds. Furniture and flooring can also be damaged as they dry out too quickly in homes with low humidity.
What is a Cool Mist Humidifier?
Cool mist humidifiers are a particular type of humidifier that increases the humidity of the surrounding region by forcing air over a wick which is dampened by water. This causes a vapor or mist to be expelled into the air and this is what increases the humidity in the room or in some cases the whole home. The vapor is not heated and so there is no risk from cool mist humidifiers of being burnt or of damage to furniture or flooring should the liquid spill.
strong>Advantages of Cool Mist Humidifiers
As well as the health benefit, the cool air means that the overall temperature of the room is not increased. In fact it reduces due to evaporation of the mist within the room. This is particularly useful in warm climes where the cooling can have a soothing effect, particularly at night. Cool mist humidifiers are very efficient and are able to properly humidify rooms up to 280 square feet. Operation is almost silent and is therefore quieter than a warm mist humidifier. This is particularly noticeable at night. They are especially beneficial in children’s rooms because there is no hot water involved. For example babies breathing can be aided by a humidifier. A final advantage of the cool mist variant is that the maintenance is low. Cool water means that bacteria doesn’t grow and it is only necessary to clean out the water tank occasionally.
