1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Thank you

Thank you for choosing a Wood’s humidifier. A Wood’s humidifier will help you increase the humidity in your home or office and help you to keep a comfortable indoor climate all year around.

1.2 About humidity

What is relative humidity?
Relative humidity is the proportion of moisture or water vapour in the air in relation to the maximum possible level at the current temperature, expressed as a percentage.

Common symptoms from insufficient humidity:

• Nasal congestion or runny nose
• Breathing difficulties
• Static electricity
• Dry complexion with flaking skin
• Tiredness, drowsiness and poor concentration
• Respiratory infections and diseases, such as asthma.
• Dry throat and sore throat
• Dry eyes

As we heat up the air in our homes, the relative humidity drops. The use of air conditioning units will also lower the humidity. A humidifier adds water to air, increasing the relative humidity, creating a more comfortable indoor climate.

****For a comfortable and healthy indoor climate, maintain a humidity level between 50% and 60% RH.

1.3 Working Principle

An ultrasonic humidifier uses an ultrasonic high-frequency oscillator (transducer) to break up water into tiny water particles.The ventilation system blows out this water into the dry air where it evaporates to and increases the humidity.

****If you have problems with white dust when using your humidifier, equip it with a HACE universal anti-scale filter. Ask your retailer for details.
