Simple options for increasing indoor humidity

The easiest humidifier for air is to hang an ordinary wet towel on the battery. The battery warms the fabric and therefore moisture evaporates.

The advantages of this method are obvious: the use of electricity is not required, but generally requires almost nothing, in addition to a piece of cloth or a towel.

Important! The disadvantages are also very large:

• humidifies the room directly only near the place of evaporation of moisture;
• constant requires “recharge”, that is, wetting;
• extremely low efficiency of this method.

Complicated Option

Towel one end lower in a basin with water, hang the other end on the battery. Water will soak into the fabric and eventually evaporate into the air thanks to the battery.

The advantages of this method are obvious: an automated air humidifier with your own hands, which does not require investments.

Important! The disadvantage of this method is the low efficiency of the method, despite automation through the basin, along with water, the humidity level near the battery rises.

If such solutions do not seem aesthetic to you, nor are they effective, then you can always familiarize yourself with the ultrasonic humidifier and purchase a suitable model for yourself. Or make a similar device with your own hands.

2. Thus, you get a humidifier case that will have a void inside.
3. In addition, it is necessary to connect and larger buckets. Before you do this, place the first creation inside.
4. To fill expanded voids with expanded clay in the humidifier, cut off the roof at the top container or cut a hole into which it will be convenient to fill it.
5. Please note that expanded clay should only be selected with a fraction that does not wake up through the mesh bucket.
6. Finally, the same 12 liter bucket comes into operation: put the aquarium pump to the bottom, and bring its tubes to the top of the mesh bucket design. Next, install on top of the plastic ring in which there will be holes.
7. On top of all this creation, attach a cooler - it is he who will pump air into the expanded clay structure, which will be saturated with moisture. Through holes, all moisture will enter the room.

Important! In this type of moisturizer, it is extremely important to select the most important ingredient, expanded clay, in a quality manner, granules must be selected carefully, and before falling asleep, rinse it under ordinary running water.

1. In the bottle, cut the neck so that the cooler can fit in the resulting hole.
2. Then fix the cooler - this can be done in two versions: simply insert it into the hole, and then wrap it with tape or cut out fasteners from a fairly thick cardboard. And to be more precise, take cardboard, attach the cooler and cut a hole a little less than the cooler itself, and then attach it all to the bottle with exactly the same adhesive tape. The second option will be more reliable.
3. Now just plug in the cooler and then enjoy the right air.

Important! You can make such a humidifier from a large plastic container, due to the fact that such containers have legs, as well as tight lids, and a much larger volume, it will be much more convenient for you to use this option.
