I N S T A L L E RInstallation, Operation & Maintenance Manual__________________________________________________________________________mr.steam®WATER QUALITY INFORMATIONFor optimum results, the water supply should be tested priorto installation. If the mineral content exceeds the followingrecommended limits, various external treatment processesare recommended to correct the problem.NOTE: An analysis of the on-site water must be made by arecognized and reliable water treatment company to ascertainthe existing condition and treatment required.Poor water quality can affect efficiency or result in steam generatordamage. Water contains impurities in solution and suspension.These impurities concentrate in the generator. Theconcentration of these impurities increases as more feedwateris introduced into the generator and steam is produced. If thesuspended solids are allowed to concentrate beyond certainlimits, a deposit or “scale” will form on the generator internalsurfaces. This deposit can interfere with the proper generatoroperation and cause generator failure. The concentration ofthese impurities is generally controlled by the water qualityand by periodic draining of the generator.RECOMMENDED FEEDWATER QUALITYHardness, ppm 8 – 85 (~0.5 – 5 gpg)P-Alkalinity, ppm 85 – 410 (~5 – 24 gpg)T. Alkalinity, ppm 200 – 500 (~7 – 0 gpg)pH (strength of alkalinity) 8.0 – 11.4Every 2 months, or more often in “hard” water areas,the manual drain valve should be opened fully flushingout accumulated materials, salts and other particleswhich are natural by-products of boiling water.The optional AutoFlush System feature automaticallydrains the Mr.Steam ® generator following each use. Atime delay allows the water to cool down (about twohours) before it drains by gravity for a safe and gentleoperation.LOCATING THE STEAM GENERATORSelect a location as near as practical to the steam room.Typical locations include: closet, vanity cabinet, heated attic or basement.NOTE: The standard length of the cable for connecting the control to the steam generator is 30 feet. The steam generator andcontrol must be located accordingly. A 60 foot cable is available as a special order part for eTempo and iTempo, PN 103990-60for iTempo and PN 104117-60 for iSteam! WARNING (Items 1-4)1. DO NOT install steambath generator inside steam room,a shock hazard will occur2. DO NOT install steambath generator outdoors or whereverenvironmental conditions may result in a shock hazardor affect performance of the generator.3. To prevent damage to the steam generator or a fire hazardDO NOT install steambath generator near flammableor corrosive materials or chemicals such as gasoline, paintthinners, or the like. Installation in areas having high concentrationsof chlorine (such as pool equipment room)must be avoided.4. Burn Hazard. Steam line, safety valve, drain valve andplumbing become hot during operation and remain hotafter shutdown for a period of time. Provide appropriateprotection, including insulating plumbing lines. Avoidplumbing runs and steamhead locations that can come incontact with bathers.! CAUTION (Items 1-4)5. DO NOT install steambath generator or plumbing lines inunheated attic or any locations where water could freezeand cause pipes to rupture and cause property damage.6. Install steambath generator on a solid and level surface.Keyhole slots are provided for wall mounting. Insure thesteam generator is properly secured and level whenmounting with keyhole slots to prevent damage to thesteam generator.7. Install steambath generator in an upright positiononly to prevent damage to the generator.IMPORTANT NOTES: (Items 8-11)8. Install anti-water hammer device as necessary.9. Provide a minimum of (12) inches at both ends andtop of the steam generator or as required for servicing.See page 8.10. Provide unions as required to facilitate installationand disconnection of piping.11. Mr.Steam controls can be located inside the steamroom or on the outside of the steam room. Seethe Control Installation Manual for your specificcontrol package for specific details.12. The MS series of steam generators are for residentialuse only. Commercial or other nonresidentialapplications void the warranty and may adverselyaffect product performance and may represent asafety hazard.NOTE: Mr.Steam Generators (inclusive of the iTempo and iSteam series Controls) are CE and UL listed.!
