Air Purification Systems
Why We Recommend Installing an Air Purifier to Go With Your Humidification System
High humidity can create the perfect environment for mold, fungus, mildew, and bacteria to thrive in your Snoqualmie, WA, home, especially in enclosed spaces with large fish tanks and large water features.
Additionally, ducted humidifiers can spread these contaminants throughout your home, leading to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). An air purification system like the REME HALO® can help to remove these harmful pollutants from the air, creating a healthier and more comfortable living or working environment.
By filtering out airborne particles and neutralizing odors, an air purification system can help to improve respiratory health and reduce the risk of allergies and other health issues associated with poor indoor air quality.
Protect Your Snoqualmie, WA, Home Against Mold
Environments with high humidity and prominent water features, investing in an air purification system like the REME HALO® can be beneficial for maintaining a clean and healthy comfort system combined with the indoor environment.
In the case of large water features, fish tanks, or humidification systems in ductwork, an air purifier can be especially beneficial in controlling the excess moisture and preventing the growth of mold and bacteria.
Humidifiers are susceptible to the accumulation of mineral deposits, water slime, mold, and bacteria within the water reservoir and the internal components of the humidifier.
These deposits can build up over time, especially if the humidifier is not cleaned and maintained regularly. Water quality and water filtration will play a role in this situation. As a result, the humidifier may not function as efficiently and effectively as it should.
When a humidifier becomes foul, it can release contaminated excess moisture into the ductwork, leading to rusting ductwork, poor indoor air quality, and potentially causing respiratory issues or exacerbating existing health conditions. Additionally, the foul-smelling and contaminated mist can create an unpleasant and unhealthy environment within the home.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the humidifier are essential to prevent foul ability. This includes emptying and cleaning the water reservoir, replacing filters as recommended by the manufacturer, and disinfecting the internal components to remove any mineral deposits or microbial growth buildup.
By staying on top of maintenance, the risk of foul ability can be minimized, and the humidifier can continue to provide clean, healthy moisture to the indoor air.
