SaltDome Salt Therapy Device

The SaltDome salt therapy device is an innovative solution allowing you to enjoy the benefits of salt air in your home.

The SaltDome operates using ultrasound technology

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 nebulize the solution, then a small fan disperses these particles into the air.

It is important to understand that the SaltDome is not a humidifier. While it does emit some moisture, its primary function is to generate and release salt particles into the air. The emitted moisture amount is minimal and does not significantly affect room humidity. Naturally, prolonged operation increases humidity.

The size of salt particles is crucial for effectiveness. 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 salt therapy devices, which often produce larger particles.

Construction and technical features

The SaltDome is a compact device measuring approximately 175x125 millimeters, weighing just 350 grams.

Its water tank has a maximum capacity of 500 ml, with recommended filling between 400-450 ml.

The ultrasonic cell operates at 2.4 MHz to produce appropriately sized salt particles.

The device runs very quietly, producing noise around 30-40 dB, roughly the volume of a soft whisper, which is especially important for nighttime (sleep) use.

Recommended uses for various conditions

For allergy and hay fever, it is advisable to start using the device a few weeks before the season begins. Longer 6-hour night treatments are recommended, in either low or high moisture mode.
The therapy's effectiveness increases with longer inhalation, as smaller salt particles penetrate deeper into the respiratory system, enhancing salt therapy benefits.

For COPD or asthma, start use cautiously. These conditions "do not tolerate" excess moisture well, so use the device in low mode initially (the device starts in this mode). Begin with shorter 1-3 hour sessions and watch your body's response. If well tolerated without coughing, gradually increase duration.

For cold or flu, it can help alleviate symptoms, reduce nasal congestion, and promote restful sleep. Nighttime use is beneficial, as clean salt air aids airway clearance during sleep.

Advantages and unique features of the device

The SaltDome is a beneficial choice in many respects

• No need for regularly replaced salt cartridges
• Provides even salt release
• Quiet operation
• Energy efficient
• The released salt does not settle on furniture
• Does not harm electronic devices

The fine salt particles released by the SaltDome penetrate deeply into the airways and even the lung alveoli, maximizing the benefits of salt therapy.

User experience

Many users have reported improved breathing, reduced coughing, and fewer respiratory infections with use of the SaltDome salt therapy device. The ultrasonic technology combined with proper saline concentration ensures effective delivery of salt air deep into the respiratory tract and lung alveoli.

Proper placement and saline concentration adherence are important during use.

Place the device ideally within 1 to 1.5 meters of your head. The farther away it is, the less concentrated the salt aerosol reaching you.

Its 2.4 MHz ultrasonic frequency guarantees the production of appropriately sized salt particles, effectively supporting prevention and treatment of respiratory infections.

The device is not a humidifier; when using the recommended saline concentration, it does not noticeably affect room humidity.

Frequently asked questions

"How do I know the device is working?"

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

"Does it affect humidity?"

The device emits so little moisture that it practically doesn't affect room humidity.

"How long does one fill last?"

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

"Is dry or wet salt therapy more effective?"

Dry salt therapy devices on the market emit salt particles that may dry and irritate airway cells by drawing moisture out. This can be harmful to the body. In contrast, the SaltDome provides wet salt therapy, producing a small amount of moisture (max 10-30 ml/hour), which does not significantly raise room humidity. The moisture reduces the drying effect of the salt, making treatment more effective.

In our opinion, devices like SaltDome that provide wet salt therapy are more effective than dry salt therapy devices.

Salt air therapy, as provided by the SaltDome, has been known since the 1800s for treating respiratory issues. The ancient Greeks also used salt vapor for respiratory symptom relief. Natural salt air is found at seashores and salt mines but can also be artificially produced by salt therapy devices, aiding prevention and treatment of various respiratory diseases.

"Can pathogens grow inside the device?"

Normally, no!

Salt's strong disinfectant property has been exploited for a long time. With proper cleaning and hygiene, pathogens, fungi, or algae do not grow inside the device's tank.

However, if the device is unused for a long time, empty the tank, clean it as per the manual, and refill with fresh saline.

How much salt does the device emit?

Coastal air (about 100 m from the shore) typically contains 1–10 µg/m³ salt aerosol; during storms or directly at the shore, it can be >50–100 µg/m³. Salt caves contain 500–1500 µg/m³, and halotherapy chambers 5,000–15,000 µg/m³.

At low moisture output, the SaltDome releases 25-30,000 µg of salt per hour into room air, providing salt concentrations similar to salt caves even in rooms around 16-20 m³.

How does ultrasonic nebulization work?

Ultrasonic nebulizers use high-frequency vibrations to convert liquid into a fine aerosol. Studies show they produce particles 0.5–5 µm in size, ideal for reaching deep into the airways.

The SaltDome salt therapy device is a simple tool allowing you to experience salt therapy benefits at home. Proper use involves correct placement, accurate saline concentration, and regular cleaning. The device is safe, easy to use, and offers a cost-effective solution for treating and preventing various respiratory problems long term.
