SaltDome Salt Therapy Device

The SaltDome compression therapy device is an innovative solution that allows you to enjoy the beneficial effects of salty air at home.

The SaltDome compression therapy device operates with ultrasound

The SaltDome uses ultrasonic technology to produce extremely fine, microscopic salt particles from a saline solution. Vibrations from the ultrasonic cell at the bottom of the tank atomize the solution, and a small fan disperses these particles into the air.

It's important to understand that the SaltDome compression therapy device is not a humidifier. Although it does emit some moisture, its primary purpose is to generate and release salt particles into the air. The amount of moisture emitted is minimal and does not significantly change the room's humidity level, although extended use over hours can increase humidity.

The particle size is key to efficacy. The device produces particles averaging 2-5 microns in size, ideal for reaching the deepest parts of the respiratory tract. This distinguishes it from other compression therapy devices that often produce larger particles.

Device design and technical features

The SaltDome is compact, about 175x125 millimeters, weighing just 350 grams.

The water tank can hold up to 500 ml, though 400-450 ml filling is recommended.

The ultrasonic cell operates at 2.4 MHz frequency to produce the appropriate salt particle size.

The device runs very quietly, with noise levels between 30-40 dB, roughly the volume of a soft whisper, making it suitable for night use (during sleep).

Recommended uses for various conditions

Allergy and hay fever: It's best to start using a few weeks before the season begins. Longer 6-hour nighttime treatments are recommended, either in low or high moisture mode. The longer the inhalation time, the more effective the therapy as smaller particles reach deeper into the respiratory system, enhancing the benefits of compression therapy.

COPD or asthma: Start usage cautiously. These conditions "do not tolerate" too much moisture, so keep the device in low mode at start-up. Begin with shorter 1-3 hour treatments, monitoring your body's signals. If tolerated well without coughing, gradually extend the duration.

Cold or flu: It may help relieve symptoms, reduce nasal congestion, and promote restful sleep. Nighttime use is also beneficial because clean, salty air assists airway clearing during sleep.

Advantages and unique features of the device

The SaltDome is advantageous in multiple ways:

• No regularly replaced salt cartridge needed
• Provides consistent salt output
• Quiet operation
• Energy efficient
• The emitted salt does not settle on furniture
• Does not harm electronic devices

The fine salt particles emitted by SaltDome penetrate deeply into the respiratory tract and even the lung alveoli, maximizing the beneficial effects of compression therapy.

User experience

Users report easier breathing, reduced coughing, and fewer respiratory infections. The ultrasonic technology combined with proper saline concentration ensures the salty air effectively reaches the airways and lung alveoli.

Proper placement and saline concentration are key.

Place the device ideally within 1-1.5 meters of your head. The farther away, the lower the concentration reaching you.

The ultrasonic frequency of 2.4 MHz helps create suitably sized particles for effective respiratory therapy.

It’s not a humidifier, and if the saline concentration is kept as recommended, it does not affect room humidity significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

"How do I know if the device is working?"

To check operation, lift the lid and observe bubbling around the ultrasonic cell and fine mist formation. You should feel a slight airflow at the outlet.

"Does it affect room humidity?"

The emitted mist is so minimal it practically does not affect room humidity.

"How long does one fill last?"

Under normal use, one tank of saline can last 5-7 days.

"Is dry or wet compression therapy more effective?"

Some devices available produce dry salt particles. They attract moisture from airway cells to dissolve mucus, which can dry out and crack airways, potentially harmful to the body. In contrast, SaltDome provides wet compression therapy by producing a small amount of moisture (maximum 10-30 ml per hour). This does not significantly increase room humidity but reduces salt’s drying effect, making treatment more effective.

We believe that the wet compression therapy provided by SaltDome is therefore more effective than dry therapy devices.

Salt-rich air therapy has been known since the 1800s for treating respiratory issues. Ancient Greeks used salty mist to relieve airway diseases. Natural salty air is found at seashores and salt mines, but artificial devices like SaltDome can help prevent and treat respiratory illnesses.

"Can pathogens grow inside the device?"

Normally, no!

Salt’s strong disinfectant properties are well known. With normal cleanliness practices, pathogens, fungi, or algae cannot proliferate in the device’s tank.

However, if unused for a long time, empty the tank, clean as instructed, and refill with clean saline solution.

How much salt does the device release?

At the seaside (~100 meters from shore), aerosol salt concentration averages 1-10 µg/m³. In stormy weather or on the beach, it can be >50-100 µg/m³. Salt caves have 500-1500 µg/m³, and halotherapy chambers 5-15,000 µg/m³.

In low moisture mode, SaltDome releases 25-30,000 µg of salt per hour into room air, matching concentrations found in salt caves for rooms up to 16-20 m³.

How does ultrasonic atomization work?

Ultrasonic atomizers use high-frequency vibrations to convert liquid into fine aerosol. Research shows ultrasonic devices produce particles in the 0.5-5 µm range, ideal for deep airway penetration.

The SaltDome compression therapy device is a simple tool enabling you to enjoy the benefits of compression therapy at home. Correct use involves proper placement, precise saline concentration, and regular cleaning. The device is safe, easy to use, and offers a cost-effective long-term solution for treating and preventing various respiratory issues.
