Air washers Venta: varieties, selection, operation

The state of human health directly depends on what he breathes. Not only the cleanliness of the surrounding air is important, but also the level of its humidity and temperature. Most often, any climatic change in the air in the room makes it dry. Long-term stay in such a room causes discomfort. Constant airing of the room can not always help to establish a comfortable level of humidity and temperature in it. For this, various climatic devices have been invented that help maintain a favorable microclimate in the house. These include air humidifiers, air conditioners, various convectors and heaters, as well as air washers, which will be discussed in detail below.

The German company Venta was founded in Weingarten in 1981 by Alfred Hitzler. Today the brand is one of the world leaders in the sale of household appliances and climate control equipment. Branches of the company were opened in many countries of Europe and Asia. Over time, Venta products began to be exported to the markets of the USA, the Russian Federation and Japan, that is, to the countries with the largest and most difficult markets. The company's developers are constantly improving products, increasing the efficiency of its work while reducing energy consumption, and use environmentally friendly materials in the production. The entire structure of the device is now recyclable.

A huge selection of air purifiers makes it possible to choose a model for a certain area of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe room. The cold evaporation system, on the principle of which the device works, helps to maintain an optimal level of air humidity in the room, while the air is cleaned of dust and allergens. Condensation does not collect on the furniture, and the constant maintenance of 40-50% humidity does not allow wooden furniture or parquet to dry out. The uncomplicated design of the product makes it possible to disassemble the device for cleaning and reassemble it without problems. In the smallest operating mode, the purifier consumes only 3 W of energy, which makes it possible to operate the device around the clock.

The principle of operation of the Venta air washer is to suck dry dusty air into a rotating drum, where it is cleaned. Water retains dust microparticles (size from 10 microns) and at the same time part of it evaporates, humidifying the air to the required level, acting as a filter. Venta air purifiers do not involve the use of replaceable filters, therefore, with proper care, such devices are very hygienic.

Air washers, like any other climatic devices, are designed to make a person's stay in the house as comfortable as possible. There are several advantages to purchasing such a device, namely:

• humidification of the air - a room with a low level of humidity creates favorable conditions for the multiplication of various types of viruses and bacteria, which leads to a violation of human health, therefore, the creation of a certain level of humidity in the room significantly reduces the risk of illness in households;
• is an effective air purifier from accumulated dirt and dust;
• the presence of a regulator allows you to avoid excessively humid air in the room, which is also harmful;
• all air in the room is processed by the device;
• the water in the tank does not heat up, which makes the device safe to use;
• does not lead to the appearance of white bloom on the surrounding furniture and equipment.

In addition to the basic functions, many air washers are equipped with an additional set of options - a sensor that monitors the water level, a hygrostat, an aerosol with a container for changing cartridges, a timer, several operating modes, a cleaning reminder system, and so on.

The main one is considered to be difficult care. To ensure that there is always a favorable microclimate in the room in which the sink is installed, it is necessary to completely clean the device at least once every 4 days. In this case, the device must be completely disassembled and each of the structural parts must be well cleaned, and there are many of them. Then it is necessary to carefully assemble the device without damaging any element.

In addition, there are several more small drawbacks of air washes, namely:

• only continuous operation of the device makes it possible to maintain a comfortable level of humidity in the room;
• this type of humidifier does not provide for the detection of contaminated particles less than 10 microns;
• installed fine filters should be regularly replaced with new ones;
• irregular cleaning of the equipment can lead to the appearance of mold and mildew on the outer casing of the fan and the water reservoir, therefore it is extremely important to periodically completely wash the device;
• the device has a rather large design;
• rather high cost of goods - from 10,000 to 40,000 rubles.

A wide range of air purifiers is represented by devices that differ in the size of the drum plates, motor power, and the volume of the water tank. All models are available in two colors - white and black. Among the large selection of Venta air washers, there are several popular models.

When purchasing an air washer for a home, you must immediately decide in which room it will be located, since each device is designed to clean the air in rooms of a specific area. That's why it is extremely important for effective air purification to purchase a device taking into account the size of the room in which it will be installed... Many people are mistaken in assuming to use the device as a mobile air humidifier. The device is designed to maintain a favorable microclimate in one room, and by transferring it to another, it is possible to disturb the humidity level in the room maintained by the purifier. The power of the product must also correspond to the size of the room.

The next selection criterion is its noiselessness. Most models are purchased in bedrooms or children's rooms, so the noise level of the device is extremely important. In the data sheet of each air purifier, the noise level indicator is indicated. When buying a device, this indicator should be taken into account, especially if it is assumed that the sink will work at night. The efficiency of a purifier is a high indicator of its performance. It consists in the amount of water consumed by the device within one hour, so the water tank must be at least 5 liters.

The presence of such additional functions as air aromatization and disinfection are necessary to destroy harmful bacteria in the ambient air and create a pleasant smell in the room. Whether such additional options are needed for an air purifier is up to the buyer to decide, since the cost of such a product will be an order of magnitude higher than a conventional device.

After purchasing a Venta air purifier, be sure to carefully read the user manual that comes with the product. The contents of the operating instructions include brief safety rules for using the device, a description of the device, its technical characteristics, operating rules, maintenance and care, elimination of possible malfunctions in the operation of the device, and so on.

Before using the Venta air purifier for the first time, you should familiarize yourself with the following basic requirements for safe operation of the device:

• the device must be connected to an electrical network that can withstand the voltage level specified in the device's data sheet;
• all Venta air purifiers can only be connected via a standard power adapter included in the kit;
• it is forbidden to cover the device, as well as put objects on it or stand on your own;
• the access of children to the purifier should be limited, not allowed to play with it;
• troubleshooting of the device should be carried out only by a specialist in the repair of household appliances;
• do not allow water to enter the device;
• when inoperative, the device must be disconnected from the mains;
• the air washer should be placed on a flat surface at a distance of at least 50 cm from surrounding objects.

In addition to the device, the set includes a user manual, a product brochure, several advertising leaflets and two bottles of a hygienic additive (the volume of one bottle of detergent is 50 ml). The control board has an "on-off" button, an operation indicator light, designations of operating modes, an automatic shutdown indicator light and an operation mode selection button.

In case of malfunction of the Venta air purifier two types of malfunctions are possible.

• The device is not working. One of the reasons may be a loose or not inserted plug of the power supply into the outlet at all.Check and, if necessary, insert the power cord into the outlet until it clicks into place. Also, the power adapter may not be connected to the mains. In this case, you need to reconnect the power supply to the outlet and turn on the purifier by pressing the on / off button.
• The red auto shutdown indicator light is on continuously. The first reason may be insufficient water in the bottom of the device. To fix this, you need to turn off the device from the power supply, fill with water and turn on the cleaner again. It is important to know: distilled water is a poor conductor, therefore, pouring it into the device, you may also encounter the problem of a burning red light. The second reason may be an open or poorly installed top of the air washer. To eliminate this problem, it is necessary to align the upper part of the device with the lower one, close it tightly by pressing on the edges. Then turn off and turn on the cleaner again.
• The indicator flashes. The reason may be some technical failure in the operation of the motor unit. In this case, you need to call the service center for further consultation with a specialist.
