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.
