Air washer

Moreover, an air washer humidifies the air in your home using evaporative cool mist technology. This eliminates the limescale problems often associated with ultrasonic humidifiers. Some air washers feature an aromatherapy drawer, allowing you to diffuse your favorite essential oils, transforming the unit into a 3-in-1 device that effectively refreshes and perfumes your living space.

1. How does it work?

   Air washers draw in dry, polluted air using a fan. Depending on the model, the air passes through an activated carbon pre-filter to eliminate unpleasant odors and certain particles, or is directed directly to a rotor. This rotor, a cylinder with numerous ribs or “discs,” rotates in the water. The water collects the particles, which fall to the bottom of the tank. An antimicrobial cartridge can be added to the tank to diffuse even purer water molecules.

   Easy to use: Some air washers are equipped with dishwasher-safe discs and reservoirs. So there's no standing water: you can clean the unit regularly and easily.

2. Can air washers be used for... and by whom?

   Air washers are effective for both private and professional users, such as doctors' waiting rooms, dentists, etc., as they are efficient even in large rooms. They are particularly recommended for people suffering from pollen and dust mite allergies, significantly reducing their levels. You can place an air washer in your bedroom and program it to run in night mode for maximum enjoyment.
