Aromatherapy diffusers are commonly used fragrance diffusion tools at home, but many users have misunderstandings when adding water, leading to machine malfunctions or health impacts. Industry experts remind that there are 3 key points for adding water to aromatherapy diffusers, which must be strictly followed.

First, prioritize pure water or distilled water. Tap water contains minerals and scale, which will deposit inside the machine after long-term use, clog the mist outlet, damage the atomizing plate, and shorten the service life;

If pure water is not available temporarily, tap water can be left standing for 24 hours before use to reduce the impact of impurities. Second, control the water volume, which must be between the “minimum water level” and “maximum water level” marked on the machine. Too much water is easy to cause liquid overflow and damage the circuit; too little water cannot produce mist normally, and may burn the atomizing plate.

Finally, clean the machine body in time after adding water. If water drops splash on the mist outlet or inside the machine body, wipe it clean with a dry cloth to avoid short circuit; the remaining water after each use should be poured out, and the inside of the machine should be wiped dry to prevent bacteria growth and odor.

Experts add that aromatherapy diffusers need regular cleaning. Soak the atomizing plate in white vinegar for 5 minutes every 1-2 weeks to remove scale and keep the mist smooth.
