The application

With our powerful saline nebulizers, we recommend a runtime of about 20 minutes and an additional 10 minutes for inhalation of the existing mist. After 30 minutes the treatment is complete. A longer duration does not bring any further improvement due to the strong saturation of the bronchi. In an acute condition, it is more sensible to do 2 times 15 minutes per day to sufficiently clear the airways. It is important in both methods that you always keep an eye on your horse and gradually increase the treatment as slowly as possible. Concentrations, as often used in practices and clinics (7-8%), are not recommended for private use, as unaccustomed horses may experience a spasmodic cough. In practice and clinic settings, this can be interrupted with medication. An increase over several weeks is advisable. We recommend using 3-4% saline (similar to the East and North Sea climate). Please always consult your veterinarian or an expert in this field first and do not rely on fleeting statements on the internet.

...more tips for building a brine chamber

Depending on the available options, a trailer, pasture tent, box, stable, shelter, carport, and much more can be converted into a sole chamber. 
The materials used range from wood, to OSB boards, foils, and PVC slats in the entrance area. It is important that the brine nebulizer is located outside the chamber so that it does not come into contact with the brine mist. A common misconception is that it becomes very humid in the brine chamber. This is not the case, as a very fine and dry mist is created. For comfortable operation and protection against dust and dirt, place the brine nebulizer at about hip height. 
Depending on preference, a rigid or flexible piping can be installed in the brine chamber. Most of our customers use HT100/110 piping for the rigid installation. A pipe is laid through a wall into the brine chamber. Ideally, the pipe is positioned at a height out of reach of the animal. 
"If you work with the Mobile Pack, a fixed HT50 piping can also be chosen. There is a suitable adapter for this in our online shop."
"If you want to set up a trailer or a tent, or if you want to create a temporary brine chamber, it is advisable to work with a flexible hose that can optionally be connected to a wall penetration. You can find a flexible hose and a wall penetration in our online shop. In the trailer, the brine nebulizer is either in the saddle chamber or outside the trailer. However, please remember to place the device in a dry and frost-proof location."

As you can see, there are numerous ways to build a salt chamber. For personalized advice, we are happy to assist you by phone.

The power of salt

"For inhalation, we exclusively recommend pure pharmaceutical salt. This is mined in salt mines and subsequently processed according to the highest quality standards. Sea salt is no longer recommended for inhalation today due to the pollution of the seas. If you want to learn more about the topic of brine, read here a technical paper on this subject."

Inhalation flexible and everywhere?

"You don't have a power outlet in the stable for using one of our devices? No problem! With our optionally available power bank, you can perform between 3 and 6 treatments and also have a flashlight with you."


However, the power bank is not intended for movement during inhalation. In our assessment, movement during inhalation is not beneficial, as the residence time of the aerosols in the finest bronchioles is too short with accelerated breathing for them to settle on the mucous membranes. They would then be immediately expelled again.
