What water does the humidifier use

It is recommended to use purified water for humidifiers. The molecules in purified water are relatively simple and are not easily polluted when sprayed. It is better for the skin after contact, so it is safer and more reliable to use. Adding purified water also has a maintenance effect on the humidifier itself.

Some humidifiers on the market are equipped with ultraviolet sterilization technology, which can kill some bacterial substances, so there is no need to worry about bacterial infection. In addition, some people like to inject essential oils into the humidifier, which not only increases the humidity of the air, but also makes their skin more moisturized.

The humidifier needs to be cleaned regularly during use, especially when it has not been used for a long time. A lot of dust will easily accumulate on the machine, affecting its effect. Therefore, it is best to clean it before use.

Why does the humidifier not produce mist?

The humidifier may not produce mist because the float on the base does not float up. In this case, the humidifier lacks water protection and does not spray water. In addition, if the humidifier uses tap water for a long time, the internal oscillator will form water alkali, causing the humidifier to not operate normally. In addition, if the fan inside the humidifier is damaged, the humidifier will not work properly.

Every humidifier has a water level protection device, which is a circular float at the base of the water tank. When the float in the water tank does not float up, the humidifier will lack water protection, resulting in failure to spray water normally. The humidifier can easily be damaged due to lack of water.

If the humidifier has wind but no mist, it may be because of long-term use of tap water, which causes scale to form in the oscillator, making the humidifier unable to operate normally and the water mist naturally unable to be sprayed out. You can clean the oscillator with vinegar and salt.

If the fan inside the humidifier is damaged, it will not be able to transmit the water mist out. At this time, you can apply some lubricating oil on the rotating bearing of the fan, or directly find a professional to repair it, so that the humidifier can work normally.

Can humidifiers cause respiratory problems?

Improper use may cause. Because the human body's suitable temperature is between 40-60%, if the humidifier raises the humidity to more than 60%, it will be easier for bacteria and microorganisms to enter the human body through breathing, which may cause respiratory diseases. Secondly, the water storage tank of the humidifier needs to be changed every day and cleaned regularly, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria and microorganisms. When released into the air, it will also enter the human body through the respiratory tract and cause respiratory diseases.
