A person’s well-being largely depends on the indoor microclimate. To feel comfortable, most people, first of all, care about cleanliness and hygiene, monitor the air temperature.
However, professional doctors emphasize that you can not ignore the humidity of the air, because in the tissues of the human body at different periods of life contains from 60 to 80% of water. Dry air does not allow maintaining the percentage of moisture necessary for the body. A special household appliance, a humidifier, helps to solve this problem. With its help, it will be possible to create the necessary air humidity in the rooms (about 60%).
Rules for choosing a place for the humidifier
You can get the maximum benefit from the device if the rules for its operation are observed. The most basic thing is to find a suitable place for the humidifier.
Important!It is best to choose a place before using the device: it is not recommended to move the device during operation. If permutation is necessary, the humidifier is first unplugged, then rearranged and reconnected to the power supply.
When determining where to put the device, several nuances should be taken into account. In this case, it will be possible to find a place suitable for the normal operation of the mechanism and safe for humans.
We comply with the required height from the floor
When using the device, it is important to achieve uniform humidification of air in different parts of the room. This will not work if you put the device on the floor. Experts have determined the optimal height standards for the location of the mechanism:
- lower level of height - 0.5 m from the floor;
- the upper level is 1 m from the floor.
Reference!If the humidifier is installed below 50 cm, not all steam will be sprayed, but only part of it. The other part will settle to the floor, forming puddles.
Choose the surface on which the humidifier will be installed
The mechanism must be mounted on a flat, straight, stable surface.
Important!The surface area on which the device is installed should be larger than its base, so that the edges of the countertop or shelf do not coincide with its side, but protrude beyond the side wall. This will give the mechanism stability, will be able to protect it from falling with an careless touch.
You also need to make sure that the surface is not tilted in any direction. Otherwise, the engaged mechanism may slide down or tip over.
We monitor the distribution of steam in the room
Performing the main task, the humidifier in the process releases a stream of cold or hot steam. She can leave marks on things. Therefore, during installation, it is necessary to deploy the mechanism so that the environment is not affected by the vapor.
Keep away from direct steam:
- books on open shelves;
- household and computer equipment;
- houseplants.
Important!It is not recommended to set the humidifier so that the air stream immediately falls on furniture or wallpaper. A distance of 30 will protect them from the appearance of stains.
Can a humidifier be placed next to a heating battery
Heating appliances, heating a room, simultaneously dry the air in it. The purpose of humidifiers is to make dry air more humid. The smallest air humidity in the room is observed with radiators. Therefore, it is advisable to place the device near batteries.
At the same time, too close proximity to the heating device is not recommended. With this arrangement, steam, like all air near the battery, will be dried immediately. Because of this, wet steam will not spray around the room and the air will not become more humid.
Important!For normal operation of the device and increase the level of humidity from the battery to the mechanism should be at least 30 cm.
When there is an aquarium in the room
Owners of large aquariums know that they have to constantly monitor the water level in it. The liquid in the tank constantly evaporates.
Reference!About 3 liters of water evaporate from a large aquarium during the day.
The evaporating liquid makes the air in the room with the aquarium moist, therefore large aquariums are considered an equivalent replacement for special devices, the installation of which in this case is not required.
Humidifier in the nursery
All of these tips for choosing a place for the humidifier apply in the rooms where the children are. However, the installation of devices in the nursery requires compliance with additional rules.
- The main requirement for the place of installation of devices in the children's room is inaccessibility for children. Particular care should be taken when using a device that generates hot steam, which can be dangerous for the baby.
- You need to make sure that when the device is working, steam will not get to the place where the child is playing, or to his bed.
By choosing the right place for the humidifier, you will provide a comfortable microclimate for your near and dear ones.
