Humidifier De-scaling Solution

Scale buildup on humidifier heaters
acts as an insulator, reducing humidifier
performance while increasing energy
costs. To keep humidifiers operating as
efficiently as possible, remove scale with
DRI-STEEM's Humidifier De-scaling Solution,
available for purchase from your DRI-STEEM
representative or distributor.
The De-scaling Solution cleans without risk
of corroding humidifier tanks or welds. The
De-scaling Solution also cleans surfaces
unreachable by hand scraping.
DRI-STEEM's Humidifier De-scaling Solution
is the only approved cleaner/de-scaler for
use with DRI-STEEM humidifiers. Use of
other cleaners/de-scalers may void your
DRI-STEEM warranty.

The CRUV humidifier is again ready to humidify.
Mineral precipitate
As evaporation takes place in the humidifier, some of the minerals
dissolved in the water precipitate out and float on the water surface. The
minerals not removed by the skimmer will settle to the bottom of the
evaporating chamber.
Cleaning the evaporating chamber
The heating element is self‑cleaning. The mineral buildup on the element
flakes off after reaching a thickness of about 1/16" (2 mm), and settles to
the bottom of the chamber.
Long heater element life can be expected when the operation of the
humidifier is observed for a few weeks following initial start‑up. By
observing the mineral build‑up rate, the frequency of both drain/flush
use and manual cleaning can be determined and adjustments made.
Before this mineral scale builds up on the underside of the heating
element, it must be removed. Failure to do so could result in premature
heater burnout.
The humidifier is designed for convenient cleaning and maintenance.
Start-up
Perform the Annual safety checks in the Inspection and maintenance
section on page 4.
If resuming operation after service, do not leave the humidifier
unattended; allow it to cycle through multiple fill cycles to verify that all
serviced parts are functioning properly. See the humidifier's Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance manual for start‑up details.
