LIME REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Lime removal on the HSX steam generator is very easy. Recommended by Saunatec, the citric acid
is completely safe to use.
The HSX steam generator is equipped with a lime remover fill pipe, which facilitates adding
remover to the water tank.
How to remove lime:
1.
Add 50g of citric acid (packet) to 1 litre of water and stir. Allow the remover to dissolve in
the water.
2.
Remove the plastic cover from the steam generator and open the fill pipe cap.
3.
Pour the solution into the steam generator tank (use a funnel if necessary) and screw the cap
back on.
4. Turn on the steam generator and let the water boil for approximately 10 minutes. When the
water has boiled sufficiently, shut off the steam generator and, depending on whether it is
equipped with an automatic or manual discharge valve, do the following:
•
Automatic discharge valve:
The steam generator discharges and flushes itself 15
minutes after shutting down. After the first discharge, the steam generator will turn
on again and refill the tank with water. The generator shuts down again, and
discharges and flushes again after 15 minutes.
This can be repeated about 3-5 times.
•
Manual discharge valve:
After boiling, allow the citric acid solution work in the
tank for about 15 minutes and then discharge the tank by opening the discharge
valve. Close the valve after the first discharge and turn on the steam generator again
until the tank is full. Shut off and discharge the tank again. Repeat this about 3-5
times.
The steam generator will be ready to use immediately after lime removal. If you detect a
lemony aroma in the steamroom after lime removal, flush the steam generator again. Citric
acid is not harmful to the health.
STEAM GENERATOR FOR PROFESSIONAL USE:
In addition to lime removal, we recommend drafting a service plan for steam generators which are
in daily use (5 or more hours). The steam generator should be serviced at least 2 times a year,
including a visual inspection and cleaning of the resistors and surface level sensor as well as an
inspection and cleaning of the tank interior (lime deposits). Replace parts, wherever necessary. The
tank is cleaned through the resistor mounting holes.
