Optimal water quality for a healthy indoor climate
Water is the basis for effective humidification and cooling. With the advanced water treatment systems from BBHUM you prevent limescale and bacteria formation, extend the life of your installations and guarantee a hygienic and efficient system. Let us take care of you, ask for a free quote!
Why is water treatment essential for humidification?
In adiabatic humidification, optimum water treatment is essential. Without proper purification, the water can contain unwanted minerals and bacteria, which affects the operation and hygiene of the humidification system. BBHUM offers specialized solutions, including ion exchangers and reverse osmosis systems, for clean and safe water in your humidification. Benefits of water treatment:
- Prevents limescale – No blockages or contamination in the system.
- Hygienic and legionella safe – Removes bacteria and contaminants.
- Maximum system performance – Longer life and more efficient humidification.
- Three models of reverse osmosis units – Solutions for every application.
Reliable water treatment is the basis for a safe, efficient and low-maintenance humidification system. So choose clean air and efficient humidification. Discover the possibilities of BBHUM water treatment, ask for a quote!

Water Treatment: The Key to a Safe and Efficient Humidification System
Untreated water is not pure H₂O. Every liter of water used for humidification contains solids such as microorganisms, lime and salts. Without proper water treatment, these substances can lead to contamination, blockages and an unsafe indoor climate.
Why is water treatment essential?
- Prevents Bacterial Growth – Microorganisms such as bacteria can build up in humidification systems and negatively affect air quality. Reverse osmosis units with fine mesh membranes effectively filter these contaminants.
- No limescale problems – Limescale in drinking water can clog filters and pipes, leading to breakdowns and maintenance costs. Water softening prevents these deposits.
- Minimizes salt buildup – Adiabatic humidification atomizes water, but salts remain and can settle as dust. This is especially undesirable in data centers, clean rooms, and medical areas.
- Protects your investment – Clean water quality prevents wear and tear on systems, extends their lifespan and reduces maintenance costs. With 2,000 humidification hours per year with a capacity of 100 kg per hour, up to 50 kg of solids can accumulate in your system. With the right water treatment, this problem is effectively addressed, so that your humidification system functions optimally and safely.
There are two methods to optimize water quality, namely:
- Reverse osmosis
- Water softening with an ion exchanger
You can read more about the two methods further down on this page.

Reverse Osmosis: Ultrapure Water for Maximum Hygiene
A reverse osmosis unit removes limescale, bacteria and viruses, leaving almost pure H₂O. This prevents contamination of the humidifier and ensures hygienic, efficient and low-maintenance operation. In combination with a water softener, an optimal balance between clean water and waste water is created. BBHUM supplies various reverse osmosis units with capacities from 10 to 900 litres per hour.
RO-10
Capacity: 10 liters per hour
12-liter pressure tank (hydrophore)
Diaphragm pump and manual flush function
RO-30
Capacity: 30 liters per hour
Optional 75 liter pressure tank
Diaphragm pump with automatic flushing function
RO-60
Capacity: 60 liters per hour
Optional 75 liter pressure tank
Rotary pump and automatic flushing function
- Maximum hygiene, minimum maintenance
- No limescale deposits or bacterial growth
- Energy efficient and reliable

Water softening with an ion exchanger: Protect your installations
A water softener or ion exchanger reduces the hardness of the water by replacing lime particles with smaller ions. This prevents limescale in pipes and humidifiers, extends the life of your installations and minimizes maintenance costs. Why choose an ion exchanger?
- Prevents limescale – Protects pipes and humidification systems.
- Extends service life – Less wear and tear on vital parts.
- Higher efficiency – Optimizes the operation of air handling equipment.
- Low maintenance – Works automatically and requires minimal effort.
A water softener is the basis for a trouble-free and efficient humidification system. More information? Request a quote without obligation.
