Heating: the correct degree of humidity
Too dry? Too humid?

The degree of air humidity can affect our state of health: when excessive the risk of allergies is increased, whilst too little can favour colds, rhinitis, sore throats, headaches and eye irritations..
The correct degree of air humidity is fundamental to the wellbeing of both adults and children. During the cold months, air humidity naturally falls but central heating can dramatically worsen this state. Then in summer, even when the degree of external humidity is high, the use of air conditioning creates an environment characterised by extremely dry air.

This leads to increased dehydration of the mucous membranes in the nose, throat and airways and of tear fluid, causing eye irritation particularly for those who work with computers. Resistance to viruses and bacteria is lowered resulting in colds, rhinitis, breathing difficulties, headaches, sore throats, allergies and other ailments.
When we have a cold or severe headache, breathing humid and cleaner air brings immediate relief.

The best answer to these problems is a humidifier. This device releases water or steam into the air and restores the correct level of environmental humidity.
This should never fall below 50% (the ideal level is 50-55%).

Pic Solution has developed a new range of humidifiers.

Ionovap, is a cold steam ion humidifier. It features ultrasound technology and a hygrometer that indicates the level of humidity. As it releases cold steam, the device is both silent and safe and is ideal for use with children. It has a night light it combines maximum performance with low energy consumption.

Supervap is a warm steam humidifier and Dualvap is a tepid and warm steam humidifier with dual functions that make it ideal for children. Both feature a ring heating device in which the water plays a passive role and is always separated from the electric circuit for safe operation as well as clean and germ-free steam.
Weighing little more than 2 Kg, both units are easy to handle, with all functions enclosed in the base, can be used for at least 12 hours away from the base unit and feature an easy-to-read water level gauge.

All products in the range have an automatic switch-off function,  with a light that signals when the water is about to run out.
