Do humidifiers have to use pure water and boiled tap water?

Because the trace elements contained in tap water, such as magnesium ions and calcium ions, are easy to produce white powder, which not only pollutes indoor air, but also may induce asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and other diseases after these substances are sprayed into fog. Boil the water and cool it before use. This can not only kill bacteria in water, but also volatilize chlorine.

Extended data:

Ultrasonic humidifier has the characteristics of low noise, small volume, low power consumption and low price, but it requires higher water quality. Although the evaporative humidifier does not require high water quality, it usually uses a larger body because of the large air volume, and the filter element needs to be replaced regularly, and the power and noise will be higher than that of the ultrasonic humidifier.

The compound humidifier uses two or more of the above humidification methods at the same time to realize the humidification function. According to China's indoor air standards, indoor humidity should be controlled at 30%-40% in winter, and it is appropriate to control indoor humidity at 40%-50% for the elderly, children and patients with respiratory diseases.
