Consumers' Association of Canada
With the onset of the "cold"
>eason, Consumers' Association
�f Canada believes there is a
need for more information
about electric vapourizers.
Doctors frequently recommend
the use of a vaporizer for relif
in respiratory ailments when
rooms become overheated and
dry during winter months. They
are particularly useful in treat-
ing upper respiratory infection
in small children.
In purchasing samples across
Canada, CAC found a consider-
able price spread in the same
models to various stores so it
obviously pays to shop around.
Don't forget to check the model
numbers as you compare, as
several different types may look
alike at first glance.
The principle of operation of
vaporizers was found to be the
same in all samples tested,
namely that water is heated to
the boiling point and converted
to steam, the heat being supp-
lied by two electrodes in a
separate chamber immersed in
the main container. The water
acts as the electrolyte.

The elctrodes do not reach
the bottom and hence do not
vaporize below a certain level.
The water, acting as an electro-
lyte, allows the electricity to
flow and when the water goes
below the bottom tip of the
electrodes, the flow of electricit)
is automatically shut off.
Specific directions are given
by all manufacturers regarding
precautions to be taken when
filling, emptying and cleaning.
When being filled, emptied or
cleaned, the apparatus should
be unplugged from electrical
outlets. The molded plastic
portions of all units provide
adequate protection from short
circuiting. All units tested by
CAC were approved by the
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA) so be sure to look for this
sign which should be indicated
on each unit.
Cleaning vaporizers is very
important to their successful
operation and long life. All
models have adequate instruction
in this respect but check for ease
of dismantling for cleaning.
A small screwdriver is needed
to dismantle one model.
Some units list spare parts in
their instruction booklets. Since
the electrodes are most likely to
deteriorate first, availability
to new ones is an advantage.
Changing electrodes can easily
be affected by removing two
screws and replacing the ole
electrodes for new ones.
When it comes to adjusting
the range of boiling rate, one
model has a dial adjustment,
while in the other units this
can be achieved by moving the
electrodes closer together as
directed in the instructions.
While in appearance some
models are more pleasing than
others, a low -form unit would
be less likely to be knocked over
while in use. Also take note of
the location of the drainage hole
which can make handling diffi-
cult when filled with wafer, as
was the case in one of the
models tested.
All units' tested by CAC were
vaporizers only, and did not
include the "cool mist" type
which are, in effect, humidifier:
rather than vaporizers. In the
tests, all units functioned well,
and did not sputter or overflow.
If properly maintained, they
should perform in this manner
indefinately.
When shopping for a vaporizer
remember to look for these
points: the unit produces steam
at a reasonably good rate;
the rate of steam production can
be increased if desired; replace-
ment parts are available; it
can be easily cleaned.
