An ultrasonic humidifier uses a metal diaphragm vibrating at an ultrasonic frequency to create water droplets. Thanks to ultrasonic technology, the Guardian Technologies™ humidifier is virtually silent when running, making it easy to have on while you sleep.
What are ultrasonic humidifiers used for?
Both ultrasonic and evaporative humidifiers serve the same function—to increase room humidity levels by adding water vapor to the air.
What does a pure humidifier do?
Humidifier therapy adds moisture to the air to prevent dryness that can cause irritation in many parts of the body. Humidifiers can be particularly effective for treating dryness of the skin, nose, throat, and lips. They can also ease some of the symptoms caused by the flu or common cold.
Are Pure Guardian humidifiers any good?
We love this humidifier. Unlike the many others we’ve bought in the past, PureGuardian is much more durable and long lasting. We run humidifiers every night because it is very dry where we live. They do take a lot of space and the water tank is quite heavy but overall a good buy.
Why do ultrasonic humidifiers stop working?
If an ultrasonic humidifier breaks down, check for a blocked vibrating membrane, which is at the heart of every ultrasonic humidifier. Before tossing the humidifier, attempt a basic repair at home.
Can ultrasonic humidifiers make you sick?

What is the difference between cool mist and ultrasonic humidifiers?
Ultrasonic warm/cool and cool mist humidifiers are quieter and easier to clean, but more expensive to maintain. An exception would be the ultrasonic PowerPure humidifiers which require no replacement filters.
How do you use an essential oil tray in a humidifier?
Drip a few drops of your favorite essential oil or essential oil blend onto the pad. Replace the tray into the humidifier. Turn on the humidifier and enjoy! The fan in the ultrasonic humidifier draws the scent of the essential oils up and into the water mist created by the oscillator.
Can you use tap water in a humidifier?
Provide the cleanest air possible for your home and make the most of your investment by taking steps to ensure the water in your humidifier is free of minerals and bacteria. Do not use tap water. Always choose demineralized, distilled, or purified water for your humidifier.
