FILTRATION
Filter System
Calcium and other mineral deposits are your steam generator’s worst enemy. The factory installed a sediment filter on the incoming water supply line is imperative. However, a secondary filtration system to reduce or remove these components from the water prior to its entering the unit will not only extend time between service calls, it will extend the life of your unit. There are many filter options available as secondary filters. These will reduce or even eliminate the mineral buildups within the tank.
Water Softener or Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) System
Either of these systems is ideally suited as a secondary system. However, even if there is a water softener set up on the house water other than R.O. System, it is set up to accommodate only the heating of water and not the boiling of water. A secondary small softener dedicated to the steam generator is generally recommended. It will need to be set up slightly differently than the house softener so that it strips all mineral impurities from the water.
