Water Quality and Treatment
It is essential to supply the steam generator with water that will not form scale. Even though the steam generator/boiler is engineered to minimize scale formation, scale development depends on the hardness of your water and the number of hours you operate the equipment each day.
Most water supplies contain minerals which form scale. It is this scale which could lead to an early component failure.
Your local water utility can tell you about the minerals in your water. The water going to the steam generator should have between 30 and 40 parts per million (ppm) total dissolved solids (TDS) and should have a pH (acidity rating) of 7.0 to 9.0. Please follow these simple precautions:
1.The best way to prevent scale is to use a Groen PureSteem™ Water Treatment System which has been specifically designed for Groen steamers and combination ovens. Do not rely on unproven water treatment systems sold for scale prevention and removal. They are not specifically designed to work with Groen steamers and combination ovens.

3.Using a Groen PureSteem™ Water Treatment System will provide longer steam generator/boiler life, higher steam capacity, and reduce maintenance requirements.
4.If you notice a slowdown in steam production or an increase in deliming, have the steamer checked for scale
