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 humidifi-
er. The fine mist created is then dispersed into the air
by a fan.
With an ultrasonic humidifier, the water itself is atom-
ized, and any minerals or debris in the water will be
dispersed into the air. We strongly recommend the
use of a demineralization filter whenever using an
ultrasonic humidifier. Use distilled or purified water to
reduce contaminants being released into the air.
Demineralization cartridges, DC1003PK, are available
for purchase. (See page 10)
Best Usage
Because ultrasonic humidifiers are typically small in
size and cover relatively small areas, we recommend
adding additional humidification for whole-house
coverage.
To provide general humidification for large areas, con-
sider using an evaporative humidifier that can cover
up to 4,000 square feet (with an 8 foot ceiling).
CAUTIONS Regarding Additives to Water
Only use cool, clean water to fill your humidifier.
•
Add water treatment for ultrasonic units to main-
tain a clean humidifier.
•
Do not use softened water, if possible. Minerals,
sodium, and other sediments 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.
Essential oils should be added only to the diffus-
er tray.
•
Never add bacteriostat intended for evaporative
humidifiers.
