Overdrying in residential premises is a problem that many apartment owners with centralized heating face. The Polaris humidifier is an effective and affordable solution to the problem of saturation of dry air with water vapor.
Why is this needed?
The percentage of moisture in living quarters should be at least 30% for healthy adult members of the family, for children, especially during a respiratory illness, the moisture content in the air should be maximized - up to 60-80%.
The issue becomes particularly critical with a large contrast between the temperature of the room and the heater, when due to the intense release of thermal energy to the air, the moisture content in it sharply decreases.
To regulate the moisture level in residential premises, special household models of humidifiers are used, an example is the Polaris humidifier, which works by the technology of ultrasonic atomization of steam.
Principle of work and features
Ultrasonic nebulizers are among the most effective air humidification devices, since during operation they form fog from tiny water particles torn off from the total mass with the help of ultrasonic waves. The required frequency - 5 MHz - is formed during the operation of the piezoelectric emitter. The fog formed from the water particles above the membrane spreads throughout the room due to the fan and natural air currents.
During the distribution process, one part of the fog is transformed into steam, humidifying the air, and the other lies with a wet film on furniture, floor and other objects.
The Polaris humidifier is equipped with a built-in hygrostat that allows you to adjust the level of steam produced, as excessive overmoistening can negatively affect the state of moisture-sensitive household items.
It must also be remembered that the quality of the formed vapor depends on the chemical composition of the water, impurities can be sprayed into the air or deposited on equipment parts, forming a precipitate. In addition to salts, water can contain various kinds of bacteria, fungi and other types of microorganisms and their spores.
The released steam has a temperature not exceeding 40 ° C, which can cause a decrease in the temperature in the room. To eliminate this effect, some models are equipped with the “warm steam” function, providing heating of the water before spraying.
Air wash
Humidifier "Polaris" with the function of washing the air - model PAW2201Di (5 W, bowl 2.2 liters, noise no higher than 25 dB, touch control). The device combines two main types of activity: humidification and air purification. Convenient, economical and easy to use. No filter replacement required. Built-in ionizer. The device not only cleans, but also gently moisturizes the air. The work is carried out due to the work of disks having a special shape and a rough surface, in contact with which, water spreads throughout the room, and heavy particles settle to the bottom in the pan.

Humidifier "Polaris": manual, basic maintenance requirements
The instruction manual provides for filling in filterless models only purified, boiled or distilled water, as well as washing the tank every 2-3 weeks of operation of the device. Timely replacement of water in the tank will avoid stagnation of water and the appearance of an unpleasant odor in the room.
During the cleaning process, it is necessary to strictly monitor the penetration of water into the body. It is forbidden to add flavorings to water.
Liquid is poured into a removable container. The humidifier is equipped with a special sensor for fixing the water level.
Replacing removable filters every 5-6 months of intensive work, regular cleaning of the container and replacing water are the main things that a Polaris humidifier needs. The instructions supplied with the device step by step describe the replacement process and service requirements. To extend the life of the filters, it is recommended to use purified water.
Humidifier "Polaris": reviews, advantages and disadvantages
Advantages of the Polaris humidifiers are their ultrasonic principle of operation and are fully reflected in the positive reviews:
