Is the mister unit safe?
Yes – cats and dogs can even drink the water if you do not use aroma therapy oils in the water! The mist maker and lights are powered by a low voltage transformer, which plugs into a typical electrical outlet. The cord between the transformer and misting unit carries low voltage so it will be safe to operate in the moist environment of the humidifier. You must treat the transformer unit as you would any other household appliance, keeping it indoors, dry, and well ventilated. Since it runs on low-voltage electricity you will not get an electric shock if you touch the unit. However, NEVER touch the gold-colored disk in the center of the mist maker, as you will feel the ultrasonic vibrations (it may feel like a little shock). Touching this disk when the mister is not turned on is safe, but you may damage the disk from your fingertip oils.
