Steam cylinder replacement
The water hardness and the humidity demand
on site will determine the effective life of a
steam cylinder. Units located in areas with
naturally soft water will experience longer
cylinder life. With hard water, a more frequent
exchange of cylinders must be expected.
The cylinder selection chart given on page 33
previously details the cylinders required for each
model based on soft, normal and hard water
hardness.
Scaling up of the Vapac steam cylinder is normal
and is outside the Vapac warranty
