Ordered Ultrasonic Mist Atomizer
[ Thursday December 29th 2022 at 1:18 am ]
The fan on my humidifier is wearing out. The grinding sound amounts to a bearing wearing out. Ironically the cost of a replacement fan is equal to about half the cost of a new unit. The wick (what sucks up a modest amount of water for easy evaporation) is discontinued. This is a humidifier I've owned for approximately 10 years. The company has moved onto new models. I face the decision of what now.
The plastic is still in good form. If there is a way to upgrade it for continued service and it is inexpensive this path makes sense. Ultrasonic atomizers are now commonly used. These function by mass vibrations evaporating water. They cost significantly less than the traditional style of humidifier. I have ordered a few of these. I am going to endeavour to upgrade mine. I do like getting stuck into a project. This will become a summer 2023 project.
