In order for the purchased breather to effectively ventilate the room, it is necessary to choose a device for a particular apartment, its climatic conditions.

For example, for a family of two and living in an area with an acceptable environmental situation, a unit with a productivity of 50-60 m3 / h is suitable. But for a family of more than 3 people, the device must already be chosen with a capacity of up to 120 m3 / h.

Preference should be given to heated models, since in winter they do an excellent job of maintaining a comfortable temperature in the apartment.

You should be aware that when cold and warm air comes into contact, condensation forms, which settles on the surrounding pieces of furniture, which leads to their decay and swelling. In this case, it is the breathers with the air heating function that will help to avoid this problem.

If there is some kind of industrial plant in the area where you live, it is better to choose a device with a reinforced filter. For people living in a cleaner area, the standard carbon filter is also suitable. As for people prone to allergies and asthmatics, they should choose models with high-end filters, regardless of where they live.

The installation of the Tion breather must be carried out by a specialist in the field. but those who decide to do this on their own should know several important rules for installing this device.

1. Choosing a place to install the breather. It should be defined taking into account safety margins and be even. There should be no wires or pipes in this area.
2. The hole is made with a diamond drill (with the additional use of a water collecting device and a vacuum cleaner). Therefore, the process itself turns out to be quite accurate and with minimal disruption.
3. Final work. At this stage, work is carried out on noise and heat insulation, sealing the seams, the installation of an external protective grill is carried out to prevent insects, dirt, etc. from entering the device.

After reviewing the reviews of the owners of breathers from the Tion company, it was concluded that the installation of such a device in the apartment meets all expectations. The owners note that over the years of operation, the device has shown itself only on the good side. Households not only have the opportunity to breathe clean and fresh air all year round, but also practically forget about such problems as allergies, colds, insomnia, etc.

Many people who bought breathers noted that air conditioners and supply ventilation systems - far from the same thing. First of all, the principle of operation of these devices is different. The air conditioner only cools the air inside the room, but the breather also provides fresh air from the street. Therefore, if possible, it is better to install both at home. However, if the financial situation does not allow this, it is better to purchase a breather first.
