GTS HUMIDIFIER LX SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
WATER QUALITY RECOMMENDATIONS
The best way to determine how often your particular system needs
maintenance is to remove the water detection probe and inspect the interior of
the unit 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
• Light to moderately hard water (2 to 10 grains hardness per gallon
[35 mg/L to 170 mg/L]) requires:
• Annual cleaning
• Occasional skimming and draining
• High mineral content water (more than 10 grains hardness per gallon
[more than 170 mg/L]) requires:
• Cleaning frequency determined by use and water quality
• More frequent skimming and draining
• Periodic drain and flush cycles
• Softened water dramatically reduces mineral accumulation
Note: Solids, like silica, are not removed in the softening process.
• RO/DI water virtually illuminates the build-up of minerals.
Humidifier De-scaling solution
Scale buildup on humidifier heat exchangers
acts as an insulator, reducing humidifier
performance while increasing energy costs.
To keep humidifiers operating as efficiently
as possible, remove scale with DriSteem's
Humidifier De-scaling Solution, available for
purchase from your DriSteem 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.
DriSteem's Humidifier De-scaling Solution is the
only approved cleaner/de-scaler for use with
DriSteem humidifiers. Use of other cleaners/
de-scalers may void your DriSteem warranty.
