I'm curious whether the issue the author identifies (real or not) with ultrasonic humidifiers applies also to humidifiers that simply blow air through a wet membrane..
- Plough_Jogger 6y agoI believe these are evaporative and are mentioned: >Just use an evaporative or steam humidifier, which seem to create almost no particles.
- randomsquared 6y agothis article talks about this more: https://molekule.science/should-you-choose-an-ultrasonic-humidifier-for-your-home/ https://molekule.science/should-you-choose-an-ultrasonic-hum... quite interesting
- mrkeen 6y agoIt was interesting right until it became an ad.
- nitrogen 6y agoI found that distilled water does not increase PM0.5 when I run an ultrasonic humidifier, but filtered water causes huge particulate spikes.
- Tade0 6y agoI have both a humidifier and purifier working 24/7, several meters apart and I've noticed that tap water in any form does make the purifier work harder, but demineralized doesn't.
- yosito 6y agoI've got an ultrasonic humidifier. I found that running it for a few hours with Brita filtered water made my whole room full of white dust. So I started using only distilled water. Since getting distilled water means I have to walk a few blocks and refill a 10 liter container every two days, I'll probably not buy an ultrasonic humidifier in the future.
- jonnycomputer 6y agoMakes me glad that I got an evaporative one then. At the time I was mostly thinking that the ultrasonic one would bother my dog.
