The quality of the water used affects the operation of this unit, so the Elite Steam may be supplied with untreated water, as long as this is drinkable and not softened or demineralized. The water converted into steam is automatically replaced through an electric fill valve. - Page 4 Elite Steam +030222075 Rev. 3.0...

A strainer (12) in the cylinder helps to prevent mineral debris from jamming the drain pump (11). In case Elite Steam remains powered but idle, i.e. without producing steam, for more than 72 hours (3 days), the cylinder will be emptied to not have stagnant water inside. -
Page 7: Cylinder Life
Humidification load, however, in an unfinished structure may be five to eight times higher than when finished. Elite Steam humidifiers may be operated while construction is underway but, reduced cylinder life is to be expected and budgeted for. Good practice dictates that the steam cylinders also be replaced once the project is complete. -

Duct Steam Injection Positioning The Elite Steam has been designed for wall mounting and, since it is an atmospheric steam humidifier, should be placed close to the point where the steam will be used, to minimize the steam hose length (and the amount of condensate). Certain clearances must be maintained around the unit for safety and maintenance. - Page 10 3.2.2 Fastening to the wall Drill the wall according to the drilling template supplied; then secure Elite Steam firmly to the wall by the screws and anchors supplied.

3.3.3 Water Drain The Elite Steam also requires a connection to a drain. The drain line may be routed out the back or bottom of the unit using the included angle fitting. The drain line can be 1-1/4” PVC, CPVC or polypropylene. The drain line is not glued or otherwise attached to the humidifier so it must be supported by itself. - Page 13 Support the hose adequately to avoid sags.
