Description of the unit
The Air Washer W490
• washes and humidifies the air without filter mats
• includes an innovative water quality maintenance
system (ISS)
• runs with little noise at two operation modes
• is suitable for room sizes up to 50 m
• is manufactured with high-quality components with
a long lifespan
In the inside of the Air Washer, special humidifier discs
rotate through a water bath and in doing so clean the
air streaming by of impurities in a natural way – as the
air is washed clean by the rain in nature. Air humidifi-
cation occurs following the self-regulating principle of cold
evaporation. Therefore the Air Washer creates optimum air
moisture, without additional control units being necessary.
Humidifier discs
The honeycomb structure of the humidifier discs allows
proven release of large amounts of water into the air. The
unit cleans the air with nature as its model. In addition, the
unit also guarantees filtering of pollutants as well as pollen
and animal hair from the air.
Ionic Silver Stick (ISS) (34)
®
The Ionic Silver Stick utilizes the antimicrobial property of
silver and provides one season of optimum water quality
maintenance in all AIR-O-SWISS and BONECO humidifiers.
The ISS begins working as soon as it comes into contact
with water – even if the unit is switched off. The ISS is
intended exclusively for use in humidifiers.
