How to choose an air ionizer

How to choose an air ionizer

All air ionizers for sale must have two certificates confirming their quality and safety – technical and sanitary-hygienic. Therefore, be sure to verify their availability before paying for your purchase. Look at the passport that comes with the device. If it indicates that it provides an ionization level of 600-50000 ions/cm³, then this ionizer is suitable for household use. A higher ionization level can only be used for medical purposes under special supervision, so such ionizers cannot be bought for home.

Powerful ionizers – analogs of the Chizhevsky Chandelier – can only be purchased for large rooms. Such devices are mounted permanently in places inaccessible to children. Since, in addition to oxygen molecules, powerful air ionizers also charge tiny dust particles that settle on positively charged surfaces, they can only be used in thoroughly cleaned rooms where the ceiling and walls can be easily washed.

Compact household air ionizer purifiers can be moved to other rooms; they generate fewer negatively charged ions, and their electrodes are securely hidden inside the device's body. Such ionizers are perfect for multi-room small apartments.

Many ionizers have additional functions such as backlighting and air aromatization. Their presence affects the price of the device, but does not significantly improve the main functions. It is important before purchasing the device to find out if there are nearby service points that repair not only televisions and refrigerators but also ionizers of this manufacturer. Price is not always an indicator of the quality of an ionizer. Often, models with an original design are more expensive.
