Ultrasonic Humidifiers

Ultrasonic humidifiers are essentially a device that releases moisture back into the air. This is especially beneficial in dry environments with low humidity.

If you have ever experienced dry rough skin or chapped lips then you have experienced low humidity. This can be annoying but it's something we can live with. For an asthma sufferer the problem of low humidity becomes much more serious.

Dry air can cause sore throats and dry raspy coughs and for asthma sufferers it can exacerbate their symptoms.Those who experience air borne allergies can also suffer.

In the home the dry air conditions become even more of a problem with heaters and air-conditioners drying out the air. If you have wall paper on your walls then you may find the paper peeling away and you might even find your furniture warping or cracking.

An ultrasonic humidifier can help to alleviate all of the problems detailed above by adding moisture back into the air.

There are many types of humidifiers available on the market today but ultrasonic humidifiers are considered to be the best for a number of reasons:

• Firstly, they are whisper quiet. This is a major advantage if you want to
  use it in the bedroom. There is nothing worse than being kept up at night by a
  noisy humidifier.


• Ultrasonic humidifiers emit a warm or cool mist. When you compare this to
  a steam humidifier which produces steam then these types of humidifiers have a
  major safety advantage particularly when young children are involved.


• These humidifiers are also quite energy efficient. This is important as
  this type of device is generally run for extended periods so you need to knwo
  that your energy costs are kept to a minimum.

1. Cool Mist

A cool mist humidifier, as the name suggests, is a humidifier that emits a cool mist around a room rather than steam. Steam humidifiers can be dangerous particularly around small children so the cool mist versions are a much safer alternative.

2.Warm Mist

A warm mist humidifier boils water which causes a distilled steam to be expelled into the room in a gentle spray which is concentrated in the area closest to the humidifier. These units are also used for steaming medications.

They are usually a little quieter than the cool mist humidifiers, and are sold in small portable units. One thing to take note of is that the warm mist humidifier requires more frequent cleaning due to the warm water which encourages bacteria growth in the unit.
