How to add water to a cool mist humidifier There are many kinds of humidifiers, such as ultrasonic humidifiers, pure humidifiers, electric heating humidifiers, etc. When adding water to the humidifier, you can directly take out the water tank, then unscrew the lid and pour the water in. But it should be noted that during the water adding process, do not let the water splash into the parts of the humidifier to prevent the parts from getting damp and rusting. Moreover, after adding water, it is best to wipe the humidifier dry with a dry cloth and then plug in the power plug for use. If the humidifier does not have a water filtration function, do not add tap water, because tap water contains rich minerals, such as magnesium and phosphorus, which will damage the evaporator of the humidifier. At the same time, spraying water vapor atomized by tap water on the table and stool will form white powder. However, it is also possible to boil the tap water and pour it into the water tank, or you can use distilled water or purified water directly. In addition, it is also necessary to remind everyone that after adding water to the humidifier, do not add any additives, such as essential oils, floral water, etc., because the humidifier has not been specially treated and may be corroded, greatly shortening its lifespan. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary damage, it is important to use the humidifier correctly. How to use a humidifier Using a humidifier at home can increase the humidity in the room, but if it is used improperly, the indoor humidity is too heavy, which is not good for human health. So how to use a humidifier? What should I pay attention to when using a humidifier?
1. The humidifier should be placed 1 meter above the ground, because the mist sprayed out is just around people, and the effect is better;
2. The water in the humidifier should be changed frequently, and it is best to change it once every 24 hours. If it is not used frequently, the water should be poured out to prevent bacteria from growing in the water;
3. The humidifier should not be used for too long each time, and it is best to install an indoor hygrometer when using the humidifier to monitor the indoor humidity at any time and adjust it in time;
4. Do not use the humidifier immediately after buying it. Put it indoors for half an hour before using it.
5. Do not place the humidifier on hollow objects to avoid excessive noise after turning on, which will affect the home environment.
6. The humidifier should be cleaned regularly, preferably once a week. If it is not used for a long time, clean it and put it in a paper box.
Misunderstandings in the use of humidifiers In the process of using humidifiers, some people use the wrong method, which causes the humidifier to fail to play its role and make people sick. So what are the wrong ways to use humidifiers? Let's take a look!
Error 1: Blowing the humidifier at the face Blowing the humidifier directly at the face and inhaling the moist gas through the nose may make people feel comfortable, but this practice is not correct, because if the water added to the humidifier contains bacteria, the sprayed gas is not good for human health. Too much inhalation makes people more likely to get sick. Therefore, the humidifier should not be placed too close to people, preferably 1 meter away.
Error 2: Using the humidifier regardless of weather conditions The humidifier cannot be used at any time. It is best not to use it on rainy days, because on rainy days, the relative humidity of the natural air is high. Using the humidifier will increase the humidity of the air, which is not good for human health. In addition, blindly using the humidifier regardless of weather conditions may have a negative impact on human health.
Misunderstanding 3: Using the humidifier regardless of the population The respiratory mucosa of the elderly, pregnant women, and children is relatively fragile. If the humidifier is turned on for a long time, the white mist produced will accelerate the spread and reproduction of some bacteria. As the mist spreads into the air and enters the human respiratory tract, it is easy to cause respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, asthma, and even pneumonia. Some arthritis and diabetes patients will also have aggravated conditions when the humidity is high. Therefore, it is not advisable for patients with diseases such as arthritis to use humidifiers.
