Ionisers
The sensation of mountain fresh air, or that invigorating feeling just after a thunderstorm is created naturally with electrically charged molecules called negative ions. Ionisers re-create this environment cleaning the air in your home by releasing literally billions of these negatively charged ions. The result is the healthy, refreshing feeling found by a mountain stream or near a waterfall.

Purifiers
Aroma-streams filter impurities and odours out of the air by drawing it through a replaceable filter. Rio filters have 5 layers of varying composition to filter out different sized particles. Some Aroma-streams can also fragrance the air by the use of fragranced filters. The Rio Aroma-Stream uses a specially designed filter, an aromapad, to vaporise aromatherapy oils whilst also cleaning the air of impurities. Each aromapad is supplied unfragranced for you to choose the oil you wish to use to create your desired atmosphere.

Vaporisers
Rio vaporisers gently warm aromatherapy oils to vaporise them in a controlled manner. The traditional method of heating aromatherapy oils in burners can cause the oil to get too hot very quickly thus changing the nature of the oil and, therefore, it's effect. The use of controlled temperature produces a clean oil vapour with the scent remaining true to the original oil. Some Rio vaporisers incorporate the benefits of ionisation or air purification.

The benefits of this clean, fresh air are numerous. No more depressing, stale or stuffy atmospheres. Smoke is cleared quickly bringing benefits to smokers and non-smokers alike. Sufferers of respiratory disorders and hay fever may find that their symptoms are reduced or alleviated. Dust, pollen and even bacteria are continuously cleared from the air.

What is remarkable is that Ionisers, Purifiers and Vaporisers cost no more than a penny a week to run.

One effect of an Ioniser is that it attracts dust that would otherwise be inhaled. It is therefore recommended that you only place the Ioniser on or near surfaces which are easily cleaned. This is an inherent characteristic of all air Ionisers. We recommend that you regularly check surfaces and walls for dust deposition in a room where an Ioniser is operating.

Yes, all of the Rio purifiers, vaporisers and ionisers are designed to be safe if left running. In fact, we recomend ionisers are run constantly for maximum effect.

No, all of our Aroma-streams are sealed units and should not need to be cleaned as long as they are always run with the air filters in place. The air filters can be replaced without opening the units.
