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 humidifier. The fine mist created is then
dispersed into the air by a fan.
With an ultrasonic humidifier, the water itself is at-
omized, 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 avail-
able for purchase. (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.
•
Do not use softened water, if possible. Miner-
als, 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 diffuser tray.
•
Never add bacteriostat intended for evapora-
tive humidifiers.
