Cool Humidifier

You might be thinking of purchasing a cool humidifier and asking yourself the following question:

Why Humidify?

Although there are many reasons to answer that question there are three that we’ll list that pretty much encompasses everything:

  • Health
  • Home
  • Happiness

Let’s discuss them now.

Health:   Health is by far the most important thing so it’s only fair that we start here.

Having proper humidification along with the combination of air purification is something that can increase the indoor air quality in your home and/or office and help to combat the very negative effects that dry air brings along with the dehydration all the while enabling your body’s immune system to be better equipped to defend itself against harmful germs.

One of the most major causes of a respiratory infection is dry air. Getting the nose bleeds and the other repeated episodes that you get of the winter cold are due to the dry air.  The lack of moisture in the homes air prevents the immune system from being able to repel infection causing germs and actually can promote the growth of a nasty threesome:

  • Bacteria
  • Viruses
  • Respiratory irritants

Air purification is something that will remove the allergens and the dust particles from the air and will increase the indoor air quality of your home.

When you keep the homes relative humidity between 45-65% the immune system will function better than any home that is not.

The low humidity levels are something that can aggravate the skin allergies as well as respiratory infections although too high of a humidity level will increase the spread of bacteria, mold and viruses. Maintaining the proper levels of humidity is the very key to avoiding problems.

Bacteria dies up to a  20x faster rate at a relative humidity level of 45-55% than anything below 20% or above 70%.

Home:  Proper humidification is something that allows you to maintain a comfortable home environment while being able to product your furniture investments as well as static shock.

Controlling the levels of moisture that are in the air is something that is absolutely necessary in order to maintain comfort. The optimal range is the 45-65% that we talked about earlier. Most of the homes that are heated to 73 degrees have a relative humidity that is close to 15%. Doesn’t sound like much? Take the comparison that the Sahara Desert is only 10% more coming in at 25%.

Dry air literally affects everything that is around us. Our plans droop, our paintings will crack or craze, the joints of furniture loosens and more. A lack of humidity can destroy the wood that is in our home causing the warping and splitting of furniture, hardwood floors or other woodwork. This goes for any wood instruments that are in the home as well from the piano to the guitar and more.

Having specific humidity control is something that is vital to protect not just your health but the wellbeing of the investments that you’ve made. Make sure that the humidifier that you’re getting allows you to set and control the specific humidity levels in your home.

Happiness:  The proper levels of humidification along with air purification are something that will increase your overall wellbeing and happiness. You’ll feel better, your home is going to stay in better condition and you’ll show for it. Once you’ve gone with a humidifier you’ll wonder why you waited so long and you’ll never go through another year without it.
