The fluid washes away all particles, dust accumulates down in the pan, and the washed air returns to its natural circulation. The sinks with the pre-ionization function have the greatest effect, they provide cleaning up to 80-95%.
The scope of air washing is much wider than an ordinary apartment or office space. This device quickly leads the microclimate to normal and in greenhouses, where plants need stable humidity, and in museum halls with valuable exhibits.

- Cleaners with HEPA filters. They drive air through the filter fiber, all the dust is trapped inside.
- Air ozonizers. They produce ozone, which purifies the air and gives it a smell of freshness.
- Ionizers. They produce negative ions, the so-called. "Air vitamins".
- Ultraviolet disinfectants. Inactivate most microorganisms.
- Electrostatic cleaners. Filter the air by settling dust particles on the electrodes.
