Humidifiers have long been popular, especially in winter, but the question arises about what kind of water can be used to operate the device.
In this article we will try to give a clear answer to it.
First, let's figure out what's wrong with tap water.
There are two reasons why it is not recommended to pour such liquid into a humidifier.
Firstly, during the process of water purification it loses, among other things, minerals, while some devices use them to create a thin layer on internal surfaces against bacteria and fungi. Secondly, tap water leads to the formation of a white coating on furniture and other interior items due to calcium and magnesium salts.
Moreover, the notorious salts can lead to equipment failure, because they clog the filters and internal parts of the humidifier.
Instead, use distilled water to fill your appliance.
In extreme cases, clean water that has been passed through a filter will do - in both cases, you will be able to keep the unit in working order for as long as possible and improve the air quality in the room.
