Vapormist standard water quality recommendations
The best way to determine how often your particular system needs
maintenance is to remove the tank cover and inspect it for mineral
deposits after three months of duty. Potable water carries a variety
of minerals and other materials in a mix that varies from location
to location. This variation in water quality, combined with the
hours of operation and duty cycle, will determine your own unique
maintenance schedule.
Water quality makes a difference

– Increased skim time
– No drain and flush cycles
(Note: Solids, like silica, are not removed in the softening
process.)
Adjusting skim duration
The skim time duration determines the quantity of water skimmed
with each fill cycle. The skim time is field adjustable using the
Vapor-logic
3 keypad.
Each time the Vapormist refills, it fills to an elevation near the
lip of the skim/overflow fitting. A portion of the refill water then
flows to the drain carrying most of the minerals left by the previous
evaporating cycle. This reduces the mineral concentration, thereby
reducing the frequency of cleaning needed.
The heated water that flows to the drain is an operational cost.
Cleaning the humidifier is also an operational cost. Therefore,
DRI-STEEM recommends that the user observe and adjust the
skimming quantity to achieve a balance between minimizing
mineral buildup and conserving heated water.
WARNING!
Do not remove the humidifier electrical panel
cover or the heater terminal cover until
electrical power is disconnected. Contact
with energized circuits can cause property
damage, severe personal injury or death as a
result of electrical shock.

WARNING!
Opening the drain valve when the tank is hot
can discharge water with a temperature up
to 212 °F (100 °C) into the plumbing system.
This can cause damage to the plumbing
system if the humidifier is not properly
connected to a DRI-STEEM Drane-kooler.
Do not touch the tank or drain piping until
the unit has had sufficient time to cool, or
serious injury can occur.
