Can the HYLA Water Vacuum Purify the Air? The air-Q Lab Test
Fresh air is healthy and contains a perfect level of humidity. You should supply your lungs with good air not just outdoors, but indoors too. Especially in winter, room air is dry and rather poor quality. Air purifiers are meant to counteract this. In our air-Q Lab, we tested the HYLA EST water vacuum.

Measuring Temperature: What Distinguishes Room Temperature From Air Temperature
The temperature level in rooms is often simply referred to as temperature. In recommendations for optimal temperatures, for example, it therefore remains vague whether air temperature or the far more meaningful room temperature is meant. Technical devices for monitoring room air are still mostly one-sidedly focused on air temperature today.
