GENERAL INFORMATION
How Ultrasonic Humidifiers Work
Ultrasonic humidifiers operate on the prin-
ciple of high frequency oscillation of water
molecules until they are broken into ultra-fine
particles (1-5μm). This is done by an nebulizer
(sometimes called an atomizer, oscillator, or
transducer) inside the humidifier. The fine mist
created is then dispersed into the air by a fan.
With an ultrasonic humidifier, the water itself
is atomized, and any minerals or debris in the
water will be dispersed into the air. We strong-
ly recommend the use of a demineralization
filter whenever using an ultrasonic humidifier.
Using distilled or purified water can also help
reduce minerals being released into the air.
Demineralization cartridges, part # DC1003PK,
are available for purchase for this unit. (See
page 10).
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.
For best result, do not use softened
•
water. Minerals, sodium, and other sedi-
ments inside water will be dispersed into
the air.
Never add essential oils directly to the
•
water. It can damage the plastic seals and
cause leaks. Oils should only be added
to the oil diffuser tray on the back of the
unit.
Never add bacteriostat intended for evap-
•
orative humidifiers
