Question 1

How does the Mini Saline work?

Accepted Answer

The Mini Saline uses a natural evaporation process to release fine salty particles into the air. A special pump continuously moves the salt solution through the system, releasing valuable minerals such as sodium, magnesium and calcium into the room air.

Question 2

What distinguishes the Mini Saline from conventional humidifiers?

Accepted Answer

Unlike conventional humidifiers, the Mini Saline works without ultrasound or hot steam generation. The innovative Gyroid structure enables efficient and natural mineral release with moderate humidification of only about 500 ml per week.

Question 3

How high is the salt concentration in the air?

Accepted Answer

The Mini Saline achieves a salt concentration of over 30% in the released solution - significantly higher than conventional systems. The actual concentration in the room air depends on factors such as room size, temperature and air circulation.

Question 4

What role does 3D printing technology play?

Accepted Answer

The innovative 3D printing technology enables the production of the complex gyroid structure, which ensures optimal distribution and evaporation of the salt solution. This makes the Mini Saline particularly efficient and low-maintenance.

Question 5

What is the special gyroid structure?

Accepted Answer

The gyroid structure is a complex, three-dimensional network that mimics the functionality of traditional graduation towers. It maximizes the surface area for evaporation and ensures optimal distribution of the brine.

Question 6

How sustainable is the production?

Accepted Answer

The latest 3D printing processes ensure that materials and resources are conserved during production. The low CO₂ footprint and the longevity of the product underline the sustainable approach.

Question 7

How is the brine composed?

Accepted Answer

The optimal brine consists of natural sea salt and water. For best results, we recommend a concentration of: 
Standard: 1 pack of salt per 2 liters of water 
Intensive: up to 2 packs of salt per 2 liters for maximum effect

Question 8

How does the evaporation process work?

Accepted Answer

The pump continuously moves the brine through the gyroid structure. The large surface area and the special drip channels allow the water to evaporate naturally, releasing the minerals.

Question 9

Which minerals are released?

Accepted Answer

Mainly sodium, magnesium, calcium and other valuable trace elements that are also found in natural sea air are released.

Question 10

How does the Mini Saline support the respiratory system?

Accepted Answer

The salty air can: 
Moisturize mucous membranes 
Relieve irritation 
Make coughing easier 
Soothe the respiratory tract

Question 11

Is there scientific evidence for its effectiveness?

Accepted Answer

The positive effect of salty air is known from centuries of experience with salt caves and graduation towers. Laboratory tests by Prof. Dr. Biener GmbH confirm the increased release of minerals into the air.

Question 12

How quickly is an effect noticeable?

Accepted Answer

Perception varies from person to person. Some people feel an improvement after just a few hours, while for others the effect only becomes apparent after several days of regular use. However, there may also be no noticeable effect. Each person reacts individually to therapies and products. The effectiveness of our products can vary from person to person and is not a substitute for medical advice.
