The equipment intended for installation in the nursery always has special requirements. A child's body, whose immune system is only being formed, is very sensitive to the effects of harmful chemicals, allergens and microorganisms that provoke irritation and disease.
The security level must also be high enough, which means that there is no access to small parts, sharp edges, hot surfaces. All this must be taken into account when choosing a humidifier for children. Our article will help you decide which device to give preference to.
Climatic systems
Climatic systems( systems) - this is the most expensive, but at the same time, the most effective equipment that allows to create an ideal microclimate in the room. It includes such devices:
- humidifier, operating on the basis of natural evaporation;
- highly effective filter, which detains unpleasant odors, chemicals, dust and bacteria;
- heater;
- air conditioning;
- ionizer( ozonizer);
- fan.
All models are equipped with "advanced" automation with a wide range of settings, which allows to constantly maintain all the air parameters in the child's room at the optimum level.
Due to the high cost of the equipment and consumables, the installation of climate systems is not always justified. But if you live in an area with a severe environmental situation( in the industrial zone or near the motorway), you can not do without it.
Installation of this equipment can be recommended for those whose children are suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular or respiratory systems. You will be surprised how much their health will change with the improvement of air quality in the room.
"Air Wash"
Those who are looking for a children's room is the humidifier, you can recommend a device known as "air washing".During operation of the device, the fan blows air through a cassette with discs partially in the water."Air Wash" is recognized as the best option for children: it has high performance, is absolutely safe and in addition performs air purification( dust and bacteria settle on the wet surface of the discs).
The disadvantages include the high cost of installation and replaceable cartridges, a relatively large size, as well as the need for frequent replenishment of water.
Conventional humidifiers
Simpler humidifier models are divided into three varieties:
- with cold steam;
- with hot steam;
- ultrasonic.
The latter type is not recommended for use in a child's room due to the characteristics of a child's respiratory system. Humidifiers that produce hot steam have many advantages, but for the children's room are too traumatic - a child can get burned.
It is better to buy a humidifier with cold steam, but keep in mind that during operation this device somewhat cools the air. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the temperature of the air and take care that the child is not in the air flow, pumped by the fan of the humidifier.
