A rule of thumb says that you should leave your winter tyres on your car from October to Easter. So it’s time for your summer tyres. But just changing is not all. To ensure your safety the right tyre pressure is extremely important. That can be measured quickly – with our tyre pressure gauge BY10.

Safety first! Thus, you really should take care of the right tyre pressure during the warm season as well. Because when the pressure is too low for example the braking distance becomes longer and when driving along curves the vehicle quicker drifts to the curve outer edge. In both situations too low pressure in only one tyre is enough. Read More

Enough oxygen – more power

Measure the air quality with the BZ25 CO2 air quality meter and the BZ30 CO2 air quality data logger for a pleasant climate

The climate at work must be good. On the one hand you have to get on well with your colleagues. On the other hand the room climate has to be good as well because we easily get distracted and slow when we don’t get enough oxygen. Often sentences are used like “The weather makes me tired”. Sometimes when there is a sudden drop in temperature or a rise in temperature that’s really the problem. Actually, in most cases it is because we don’t ventilate enough.
Not enough oxygen affects our brain power and, thus, our performance. A long-term lack of oxygen and a surplus of carbon dioxide can even harm your health. A CO2 concentration between 1,000 and 2,000 ppm already is conspicuous, a concentration of more than 2,000 ppm is considered unacceptable. Read More

Do you know how high the CO2 concentration is in your house? Can you breathe freely and deeply when you come home are do you get tired quickly while sitting on the couch?
How much oxygen and CO2 the room air contains verifiably affects our well-being. Especially indoors it is important to know that the more active we are the oxygen content decreases while the CO2 content increases. When your children romp through your apartment the oxygen content decreases pretty fast. When you cook or even when you are just relaxing on the couch the room climate changes. Therefore, you should – especially for staying healthy – always take care of the optimal indoor climate. Read More
