3.0 - Water Conditioning

It is essential to supply the steam generator with water that will not form scale. Even though the steam generator is engineered to minimize scale formation, scale development depends on the hardness of your water and the number of hours the equipment operates.

In some areas of the country, water is low enough in minerals to avoid scale formation. But most water supplies are full of minerals which form scale. It is this scale which could lead to an early component failure.

Your water utility can tell you about the minerals in your water. The water going to the steam generator should have between 10 and 30 parts per million (ppm) total dissolved solids (TDS) and should have a pH (acidity rating) of 7.0 or higher. Please follow these simple precautions:

3.1Do not rely on unproven water treatments which are sold as scale prevention or scale removers. They don’t always work. The best way to prevent scale is to supply the purest possible water (10 - 30 ppm TDS).

3.2If your water contains scale-forming minerals, as most water does, use a well-maintained water softener. Whether an exchangeable softener cartridge or a regenerating system is chosen, a regular exchange system is essential.

3.3Installing a water meter between the softener and the steamer will provide an accurate gauge of water use, and will help determine when to exchange cartridges or regenerate the softener. Using a water softener will provide longer generator life, higher steam capacity, and reduce maintenance requirements.

3.4If you notice a slowdown in steam production, check the unit for scale build-up. Heavy scale reduces the unit’s ability to boil water, and can even cause heating elements in the steam generator to overheat and burn out.

MINIMIZE SCALE PROBLEMS BY USING AND MAINTAINING A SOFTENER, AND BY CLEANING THE STEAMER REGULARLY.
