FAQ

Q: How many square meters will it covers?

      A: Salin S2 covers 35-40 cubic meters ( about 15-16 sq metres) and Salin Plus is adequate for the treatment of max. 150 cubic meters room (about 55 sq meters). However, it is recommended to use it close to you in the room.

Q: Does Salin® need special care?

      A: The device should not be stored or used in a damp environment and it should not be sprayed with water. It is not recommended to use the device in spaces with high humidity or steam, in dusty spaces or with oily aerosols (kitchen), because the filter can get damaged. It is recommended to maintain a normal humidity level in your living space.

Q: Should the Salin® filter be cleaned or replaced?

      A: The Salin® filter should be replaced every 4 months.

Q: How to change the Salin® filter?

Q: Is it quiet?

      A: The device produces a noise similar to a computer.

Q: What is its size?

      A:Salin S2 105 x 135 x 145 mm
          Salin Plus 181 x 165 x 235 mm

Q: Does it do negative ionization?

      A: The dry sodium chloride (salt) aerosol has a considerable level of negative charge of the particles and this is leading to a negative ionization of the air surrounding the salt ions. Also, the inner surfaces of airways have a slight positive charge. Negatively charged particles of dry sodium chloride aerosol move in the lumen of respiratory tract and settle more intensively compared to neutral particles. In addition, the negative charge increases aerosol stability. Thus dry aerosol action is much more effective than one that is moist.

Q: Will Salin® device interact with other medication?

      A: No! The device could be a complementary or stand alone (alternative) treatment and does not interact with any classical treatment.

Q: Is Salin® contraindicated in low-salt diet?

      A: : No! The salt micro particles are so small that won't be able to affect negatively a low-salt diet. When you breathe the salty air, the total amount of the inhaled salt is extremely small (under 0,2g/day in the first 10 days of usage and under 0,1g/day in the first month). These quantities of salt reach the epithelium surface and there are eliminated with the mucus. Considering this, it is estimated that the persons with salt restrictions, would have nothing to worry about.

Q: How the device helps in a better sleep?

      A: Many people have noticed that they sleep better with Salin®. This is because it helps in cleaning and widening all the airways, leading instead to an easier breathing and proper amount of oxygen in your blood, so better blood oxygenation. When you wake-up in the morning you'll feel a fresh air and a clear mind.

Q: Is the device recommended also for healthy people?

      A: Yes! Because of its general healthy and hygiene effects, the Salin® device is recommended not only for people suffering from respiratory problems, but also for healthy people to increase the immunity of the respiratory system. The device affects the flow of secretions of the respiratory passages and strengthens the vibrations of cilia, allowing the secretions to be removed quickly and respiratory passages to be cleared, bringing an easier and comfortable breathing pattern. Salin® device frequently helps in clearing the nasal passages, diminishes the snoring and obtain a more relaxed and therapeutic sleep.

Q: How the device helps in snoring?

      A: For many snorers has been noticed that they don't snore as loud as before or they stop snoring. The sodium ion reduces the oro-pharyngeal and soft palate edema, often met with snoring, resulting in improvement and diminishing of snoring.

Q: How it helps in ear infection?

      A: In infants and small children, ear infection could appear very often. To help them to get better sooner and reduce the rate of recurrence, you should place their bed under an angle (the head should stay upper then feet) and place the device close to the bed with the air stream towards them. In the auditory tube, edema of the Eustachian tube mucosa, causing obstruction and otitis media, will be diminished, leading to widening of the airway passages, better drainage of the inflammatory secretions & better aeration behind the tympanic membrane (drum). The fact the inhaled saline has bactericide and bacteriostatic properties also help.

Q: How long does it take to notice a difference?

      A: This is depending on your condition but you should notice soon the fresh and easy breathing air. At the same time, it is likely that there will be other noticeable and beneficial effects such as a reduction or cessation in the use of asthma inhalers. Any current medical problems, however must be given special attention. You should notice a difference in 2-3 weeks of intensive use. Soon, for many snorers it was noticed that they don't snore as loud as before or stop snoring. All natural therapies takes some time and perseverance but with Salin® therapy many people got impressive results. Is not something that you should use it once and be cured. You should use it intensive at least in the first month, day by day, and as long as you can. The more exposure, the more benefits you get. You should consider it in your daily activity as long as you have asthma/allergy symptoms and change the saline filter every 4 months, depending on your condition. The clinical studies and the people that have used it have noticed a decrease in the daily intake of the synthetic drugs, a decrease in asthma attacks and annual hospitalization and a good general state.

Q: Are there any special specification?

      A: Sometimes, in the first period of utilization, it is possible an accentuation of the coughing phenomenon. The fluidization of the secretion in the respiratory system leads to the elimination of these secretions. Coughing has an important part in this mechanism. If the coughing strokes give you too much trouble you can set the voltage of the device to 6V or you can reduce the usage. REMEMBER that coughing, in this case, is not something to alarm for, unless it is too intense. You should then increase the usage step by step, from 1-2 hours to 6-8 hours daily and in less than 3 weeks the phenomenon mentioned above will disappear. We recommend the same method in any other case of changes in your health state. In the first days of use, the amount of salt into the air is increasing so it is possible that the effects on your respiratory system are too intense.
