Air cleaning is a 2 in 1 device that moisturizes and cleans the air. And as filters are ordinary water.
Despite the fact that air washes appeared on the market not so long ago, they quickly became popular. And there are several reasons:
- they are easy to operate;
- does not require special care;
- there is no need to purchase consumables;
- air cleaners do not consume much electricity.
But in order to choose the right air wash, you need to understand what you should pay attention first.
Area of the room
Consider where you put the air-wash, because the power of a particular model is calculated for a certain area of the room. This is important, because this parameter is directly related to how quickly and efficiently washing will purify and moisten the air. So, in the market there are various models that can be suitable for premises, the area of which is from 14 to 50 sq.m.
Noise level
When choosing a car wash, pay attention to the noise level. This is most relevant for those who decided to put this device in a bedroom or a nursery. So, all models of air washes can be classified depending on the principle of operation.
In the first case, the technology of hydrofiltration is used, when a multi-tiered water curtain is created. In the center of the water tank, a cone-shaped rod is installed, which constantly rotates, thereby raising the water upward. As a result, a veil is formed above the surface of the water, consisting of the smallest drops. It can be called a "sieve" through which dirty air passes.
Such models are the most noisy. It can not be said that the work of these air washes can cause a lot of inconvenience, but people who are sensitive to sleep, it is better to pay attention to other devices available on the market.
Other models of sinks clean and humidify the air due to the so-called "water bath".This effect is obtained as a result of the constant rotation of plastic discs, on which water is retained, and a water film is formed. There is also a built-in powerful fan that enhances evaporation. It is from his work that the noise level depends.
Along with this, when choosing a car wash, pay attention to whether there is a quiet night mode.
Cleansing or moisturizing
Decide what is more important for you: solve the problem with dry air or with contaminants? Despite the fact that air washes are positioned as 2 in 1 devices, some models are better able to cope with the problem of air humidification, while others - help to say goodbye to bacteria and odors. It's all about stuffing, so to speak. By the way, the more discs or drums that filter the air, the more efficient and faster it is cleared.
If you buy an air sink to fight unstable odors, any model will do, because water is a natural absorber. But it is better to pay attention to devices with photocatalysis. What it is? This is the process when, as a result of the work of the ultraviolet lamp, as well as the catalyst, active oxidants are produced, which help quickly decompose the smells at the level of molecules.
If you decide to buy a sink because of the dryness of air, you need to pay attention to the indicator of the intensity of evaporation. It should be within 200-500 ml / hour. But here it is important to understand that this parameter can fluctuate depending not only on the model chosen, but also on the humidity in the room.
Safety
You should choose a car wash, based on how safe the model is. Again, this question is relevant for those who have small children or pets. So, some devices are equipped with protection against switching on if the tank is empty.
Additional features of air washes
Certain models not only moisturise and purify the air, but also perform other functions, among which:
Ionization or elimination of unpleasant odors( for example, tobacco smoke)
For this, a pre-ionization device is provided. This function allows you to equate these models with air cleaners with the highest possible degree of purification( about 99.97%).There is a development of negatively charged ions, which saturate the air. As a result, this has a favorable effect on the person's health.
Scent of the room
Some models have a capacity where a cotton swab soaked in a special aromatic oil is placed. It turns out that washing the air not only moistens the air, but also fills the room with pleasant smells.
Antibacterial protection
Such models are equipped with ionizing silver rod, due to which viruses and bacteria remain in the past.
What in the end?
Let's sum up a little. If you want to choose air cleaning, you need to take into account the area of the room, the noise level, the availability of additional functions, the safety of the model, as well as its main purpose.
Along with this, in any case, you will additionally focus on the cost, as well as the manufacturers of air washers. This is also important. For example, the price may be affected by the availability of additional options, as well as the popularity of the brand. If you want to save, and your main task is air humidification, and not purification, you should pay attention to the simplest model.
