Decalcification
Tap water contains impurities, for example lime, that can cause calcium deposit and
block the internal parts of the steam generator. To prevent this and prolong the lifetime
of steam generator it is recommended to have a water filter and water softener. They
are connected to the water source of the steam generator’s water inlet.
SAWO Decalcifying Solution can be used for decalcification. Follow these guidelines to
perform preventative maintenance of the steam generator.
WaRnInG!
Never add the Decalcifying
Solution when the generator is
on, it can cause serious burns!

Frequency for decalcification:
Unit dH where 1 dH is 10 mg calcium in 1 liter of water
< 3 ºdH = very soft water, decalcification every 500 operation hours
3-6 ºdH = soft water, decalcification every 100 operation hours
6-9 ºdH = hard water, decalcification every 50 operation hours
9-18 ºdH = very hard water, decalcification every 30 operation hours
