Can the HYLA Water Vacuum Purify the Air? The air-Q Lab Test
Fresh air is healthy and contains a perfect level of humidity. You should supply your lungs with good air not just outdoors, but indoors too. Especially in winter, room air is dry and rather poor quality. Air purifiers are meant to counteract this. In our air-Q Lab, we tested the HYLA EST water vacuum.
It's clear: refreshingly clear air is a valuable asset, since it boosts your well-being and raises your ability to concentrate. When heating runs at full blast, though, humidity and room air's oxygen share drop. Warm heating air dries out mucous membranes, making them crack. This can lead to infections like colds. HYLA's water vacuum combines air and room cleaning. As you vacuum, the device binds dirt and dust using water and releases more moisture back into the air. This lets you keep your home clean while raising humidity at the same time. Our hands-on test shows how, and whether, this works.

HYLA air purifier in the air-Q test
As with our test of the Venta AH902 K, this time too we artificially polluted the air in a 20 m² room with an incense cone. This caused PM₁₀ readings — meaning particles smaller than 10 µm — to rise noticeably. Particulate matter readings peaked already just under 20 minutes after lighting the cone. We checked the test with our air monitor air-Q pro, with a total of 14 different readings. At the start, the air analyzer showed extremely high particulate matter pollution, very high VOC readings, and low humidity. This time too, data was monitored live on a smartphone via the air-Q app during the test and then analyzed again with statistics software on a PC (chart).
Once the air-Q sounded the alarm via its red glowing LED lights, we started the HYLA water vacuum. The computer analysis showed that the HYLA EST both lowered particulate matter pollution and raised humidity. The water vacuum ran for about 40 minutes. This halved particulate matter pollution after about 15 minutes. After another 20 minutes, particulate matter pollution in room air returned to its original level.
The vacuum's operation also raised absolute humidity, making room air significantly healthier to breathe. While starting values were around 10.5 mg/m³, the HYLA rapidly raised these to over 13 mg/m³ within the first half hour. Over the following 15 minutes, only a slight further rise to 13.5 mg/m³ was observed.
Result of our air-Q Lab
The HYLA air purifier too ensures that heavy air pollution drops by half within just 30 minutes. Unlike the previously tested Venta AH902 K, though, the HYLA EST also affects absolute humidity.
