Vaporisers & Humidifiers What ,s the difference?

Vaporisers are still the No. 1 Priority

Did you know?Cold air is unable to hold as much moisture as warm air so as cold temperatures set in, humidity levels drop. Even more moisture is pulled from the air when we heat our homes during the autumn and winter months. This often makes indoor humidity levels drop to as low at 10% – well below the recommended level of 40–60%.

In Australia, one in five people suffer from the flu and children come down with an average of 7–10 colds each year. When experiencing congestion, then the humidity should be kept much higher at 70–80% - which can be achieved with a warm steam vaporizer. Homes kept at high humidity levels are likely to have fewer flu viruses lingering in the air and on surfaces.
