The invention provides a humidifier apparatus (100) comprising (i) a first chamber (110) for containing water (101), (ii) a humidifying element (120) configured to facilitate evaporation and/or nebulization of water (101) contained in the first chamber (110), wherein the humidifying element (120) comprises a wick element (130), (iii) a replaceable or refillable unit (230) for containing an immobilized phosphate removing material (150), wherein the phosphate removing material (150) is configured to reduce a concentration of phosphate in water (101) before evaporation and/or nebulization of the water (101), and wherein the wick element (130) comprises the phosphate removing material (150), wherein the phosphate removing material (150) is comprised by the wick element (130) as one or more of impregnated phosphate removing material (150) and coated phosphate removing material (150), and wherein the wick element (130) is configured as the replaceable unit (230). Further, a wick element (130) comprising a phosphate removing material (150) is presented.

An aroma diffuser using an aroma capsule is disclosed to include a hollow housing including a first opening on a top side thereof, a second opening on a bottom side thereof and an integrated holder member downwardly inwardly extended from a top side thereof and defining therein a holding chamber facing toward the first opening, a heat conduction device mounted in the holding chamber, and a heating element mounted at a bottom side of the heat conduction device and kept in contact with the heat conduction device. Thus, an aroma capsule can be placed in the holding chamber and heated by the heating element to release fragrant vapor. After the aroma contained in the aroma capsule is used up, the aroma capsule can be replaced conveniently and rapidly.

The smart electric incense and perfume burner is a remotely controllable, electrical incense burner controllable via a smart system using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The burner is in the form of an orb or spherical shell, which may be placed on top of a pedestal having a battery charging circuit. The orb functions separately as a portable, battery-operated, smart electric incense and perfume burner. The orb includes an upper chamber, centrally located at the top of the orb for liquid incense or perfume. The orb also includes a lower chamber with a solid incense heater. The outer surface of the orb has a plurality of vent openings for allowing smoke from the upper and lower chambers to exit the interior of the orb. The vent openings are surrounded by multicolor LEDs and are adapted to receive elongated decorations for display.
