There is a common practice that many people believe can improve the humidity in an air-conditioned room: placing a water basin. So, should you place a water basin in your air-conditioned room?
Should you place a water basin in your air-conditioned room?
The most popular and widely-spread method to improve the humidity in an air-conditioned room is using a water basin.
All you need to do is prepare a small water basin and place it in a corner of the room. It is recommended to place it in spacious areas and avoid corners where the cold air from the air-conditioner cannot reach easily.
In this case, the water in the basin will evaporate, releasing tiny water particles into the air, making it less dry and more comfortable. The air-conditioner will also absorb moisture from the water basin, reducing the need for the user’s body to lose moisture and preventing dryness.
In reality, this practice does not have the miraculous effect that many people think. By carefully observing, you will notice that the water level in the basin before and after placing it in the air-conditioned room does not change significantly. This indicates that the water does not evaporate or evaporates very little, which means it has almost no additional effect on adding humidity to the room.
Many people do not fully understand this practice but still do it, mainly for psychological peace of mind.
Ways to improve the humidity in an air-conditioned room
Use an air purifier with a humidifying function
When using an air conditioner, it is advisable to get an air purifier with a humidifying function to provide the appropriate humidity for the room. Most air purifiers are equipped with a humidifying function.
Therefore, you can easily choose and activate the humidifying function for the room, especially during hot and dry summer days. It not only cleans the air from dust and bacteria but also improves the condition of dry skin and eyes.
Clean the room before using the air conditioner
The humidity in the room decreases when you turn on the air conditioner. If you clean the room before using the air conditioner, the humidity in the air will increase. This helps maintain a healthy environment and limits the growth of bacteria.
At the same time, using the air conditioner after cleaning the room will bring the humidity back to a balanced and comfortable level.
Use an air purifier with a humidifying function
Not many people know that modern air purifiers not only purify the air but also have a humidifying function.
Therefore, if you have an air purifier at home, check if it has this function and make good use of it.
Avoid using the Dry mode
The essence of the Dry mode is to remove water and dehumidify the air. Therefore, using it on hot and humid days will make you feel more comfortable. However, on hot and dry days, using Dry mode is no longer meaningful. Moreover, since the air humidity is already low, removing water will make the air even drier. Only use Dry mode when the weather is extremely humid.
Above are the answers to the question “Should you place a water basin in your air-conditioned room?”. Use your air conditioner properly for the sake of your health.
